Deals: Take $300 Off 21.5-Inch iMac and Get $10 Amazon Credit When Buying $100 Apple Gift Card

[MacRumors]

We're tracking a pair of last-minute Christmas deals on Amazon today, including a record low price on the 21.5-inch iMac and free Amazon gift card credit with the purchase of an Apple Gift Card.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

Starting with the iMac, you can get the 21.5-inch iMac (2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) from mid 2020 for $799.00, down from $1,099.00. This is now the best price we've ever seen on this version of the iMac.

21.5-inch iMac (256GB) for $799.00 ($300 OFF)​

This iMac is an older model, so it has the classic silver aluminum design with a large black bezel, and doesn't have the M1 chip. Amazon also has the 2020 27-inch iMac (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) on sale for $1,399.99, and both of these desktop computers can deliver before Christmas.

Next, Amazon is offering $10 in promotional credit when you buy the $100 Apple Gift Card. Simply choose a design for the Apple Gift Card, select the $100 denomination, enter a recipient, and then enter the code APPLEDIGITAL at checkout.

$100 Apple Gift Card (GET $10 BACK)​

The Apple Gift Card will be delivered via email, so you don't need to worry about shipping delays if you're shopping for stocking stuffers. Only one gift card can be purchased per customer, and Amazon hasn't specified how long this sale will last.

I don't think there is a 2020 21.5. Is that the 2017 with the 7th gen? Pass.

 

[Bug-Creator]

That thing was overpriced by 2x even when it was introduced.

If you really need a small Intel iMac better look out for a used specimen of the last proper 21.5" from 2019. 3.xGHz Quadcore, dedicated Radeon GFX and 4k for about the same price (if not lower)

Does this indicate that the 21.5" iMac is getting a refresh soon?

Does this indicate that the 21.5" iMac is getting a refresh soon?

No. The 21.5" Intel iMacs have been replaced by the 24" M1 iMacs. No more Intel iMacs.

Waiting on Amazon to pay me to take their stock then I'll forward the package to a recycler.

 

[adamw]

Thanks for the discount Amazon and Apple!

 

[raindogg]

That iMac is worth about $400 right now.

 

[Blue Nova]

That iMac is worth about $400 right now.

That’s right, you can get an M1 Mac mini and with an existing monitor, and it would be much faster.

 

[JosephAW]

Just installed boot camp on an iMac Intel. Can’t do that for the 24” M1 models.

 

[bigpoppa]

Macrumors, please indicate it’s not what’s listed on Amazon.

 

[privaterbok]

What's even lame price than Apple's msrp? Clearance price

Intel or no, Apple anything still fetches a good price on eBay. Professional operations buying them up and shipping them back to Asia

Thank god Wintel left

Absolutely nobody should be buying that 21.5inch iMac anymore.

 

[Nicole1980]

Absolutely nobody should be buying that 21.5inch iMac anymore.

Agreed. But I worry that a lot of first time Mac buyers still grab that model, not knowing the difference.

So, with that horrendous spinning drive (or even the slightly less crappy fusion drive) these people end up getting a bad experience and then think Apple computers are crap.

In other words, even selling this thing at all hurts their brand name.

by name , i always buy the basic . By perfomance bad is ram with spotlight indexing. For price value , consider as crap . 4 gb ram on linux is okay but 4 gb on mac is horrible.Need at least 16 gb and ssd and apple should think it first before but too late.

Lower, actually. I just bought the iMac you described for $650 as an open-box from Best Buy.

 

[ignatius345]

For this particular Mac to be a "deal" it would have to be under $500 at this point.
