- We often find the best savings are for older models.
- Be sure to confirm what the generation is of the discounted model so that you know exactly what you are buying and what it’s really worth.
- Sometimes resellers switch to selling refurbished or used products once their stock of brand new models run out. Make sure you check that the model discounted isn’t actually a used Mac and therefore not as good a deal as it might look. On Amazon, for example, look for Buy New prices.
- Mac deals are not limited to Black Friday. There are good deals to be had all year round, so don’t feel pressured into buying during Black Friday.
- For our readers outside the U.S. though this could be the best time to buy a new Mac: Apple looks set to increase Mac prices some point, as it did to iPad prices following the launch in October. Read more about that here: Is Apple ripping off the rest of the world with inflated prices?
Best Black Friday iMac deals
Apple 24-inch iMac has an M1 chip and comes in a selection of different colors. The 27-inch model was discontinued some time ago, and while you may find a deal on one we wouldn’t recommend buying it. A Mac Studio or MacBook Pro would be a better choice.
