The 2021 Apple iMac is just $799.99 (was $1,249) thanks to a surprise price cut at Best Buy today - the lowest price yet on this superb all-in-one iOS machine.  

At $450 off, this one is a great buy if you're looking for a stylish desktop that can handle both work and casual tasks. The M1 chipset inside this model is a little older now, but it's still a very capable processor for all but the most intensive applications. If you're planning on using your iMac for design work, music production, or other kinds of creative tasks, then this model will still hold up great.

Plus, you're getting a gorgeous 24-inch 4.5k Retina display that's still up there with some of the best you'll find anywhere on the market right now. We found the display to be a highlight feature with our initial iMac (24-inch, 2021) review - praising its brightness, sharpness, and vibrancy. It was a key reason why we awarded this model an impressive four and a half stars out of five when we reviewed it.

Overall, this iMac deal at Best Buy is an easy recommendation if you're looking for a cost-effective Apple desktop. If you're interested in a more portable option, however, scroll down to the bottom of the page to see a selection of today's best MacBook deals.
