Can we please get a 27” iMac now…pretty please

 

[tstafford]

Pretty nice deal on that machine. The upgrade to the one w/ extra I/O and the Touch ID is worth it IMO. I owned one and liked it but couldn't ever get fully comfortable with 24" although Retina is terrific.

 

[ignatius345]

I’ll probably get a larger version of this when it comes out, but the 24” is working really nicely for me now. Even “only” having the M1 it still feels very very responsive no matter what I throw at it.

For someone that needs an all-in-one M1 based desktop Mac, this is a bargain. The 500 nit 23.5" screen is 4.5K and watching/listening to various media on it is wonderful. The 6 speakers support spatial audio.

 

[Phil77354]

It's a good deal while recognizing that Amazon only offers the 24" iMac with 8 GB RAM, but at least this is the largest storage version that they sell (512 GB; Apple offers up to 2 TB).

I am also still holding out for a proper replacement to the 27" iMac and hoping that when Apple does come out with a larger iMac it is not only offered as a much more expensive 'Pro' model!

Apple knows it needs to go bigger and better next time. I really do hope they introduce a 32 inch iMac in the next few years. I want something that big enough to watch Apple TV on while laying in bed and at the same time I sit two feet from and have Excel, Safari, Photos, Finder in a quadrant.

Fun fact: A powermac G5 could run 8 GB of RAM almost 20 years ago.

 

[MICHAELSD]

This is a theoretically great value, although I’m not sure it’s enough to sway from waiting for a M2/M3 iMac or iMac Pro.

8GB RAM
And this is a “deal”

It works better than you think even with 8GB with swap used. M1 unified memory bandwidth is 66 GB/s. That means the SSD is barely slower then the RAM for most things.

This hopefully will be the end of the failed pastel color experiment for Macs. Interesting which ones are discounted

pink, blue, green

Why do you think they failed?

 

[Reggiebaldwin]

The discount on only those colors for one.

the Blue one is one of the more popular ones I think. I’ve seen it around a few times

 

[Realityck]

the Blue one is one of the more popular ones I think. I’ve seen it around a few times

From a previous Apple9to5 poll, the blue and the silver were the two colors for buying a 8/8/16/1TB model that you could buy at the store when available instead of custom order.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

I tried to do this, but it's saying a plain old iMac, and not an iMac Pro.

 

[Mr. Dee]

the Blue one is one of the more popular ones I think. I’ve seen it around a few times

The blue is my favorite out of them all with Purple and Green being my next favorites. The yellow and red are too loud.

 

[Rychiar]

its so old now the price should be dropping...

 

[svish]

Good discount for the iMac!!

 

[volodymyrqa]

This is dead product. Would like to see that genius who decided to put power cable slot behind while VESA is there.

 

[VaruLV]

IMHO thats still overpriced for machine with 8GB of RAM and few ports.

 

[Zest28]

Fun fact: A powermac G5 could run 8 GB of RAM almost 20 years ago.

But 8GB RAM is all you need according to MacRumors.

 

[alfonsog]

How do these price drops work? Is Apple giving them a wholesale discount? I thought the margins are already tiny for resellers? Apple Store itself never has sales themselves for older products. I could use one of these for my restaurant still using a 2014 Mac mini in the office.
