Apple’s 2023 iMac drops to a record-low price
An Amazon coupon brings the base model down to $1,149
It’s been a busy day of Apple news thanks to some new iPads, but the company has plenty of other M-series devices, including the iMac. Apple slotted M3 chips into its desktop computers late last year, and now the base version of the 2023 iMac is cheaper than ever. Thanks to a coupon at Amazon (make sure to clip it!), you can snap up an iMac with an M3 chip, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage for $1,149. The deal is available for the silver, pink, green and blue versions of the system.

A word of warning: while this is a decent deal on the surface, we do feel that the specs of the base 2023 iMac aren’t quite up to scratch. It’s difficult in this day and age to earnestly recommend a computer with just 8GB of RAM as apps become more and more demanding. That’s why the iMac didn’t score higher than 86 in our review.
On the plus side, the M3 chipset is very fast and the iMac’s display remains terrific. Although this is a desktop system, it’s lightweight, so it’s not too difficult to move from one room to another or prop it up on something — the inability to adjust the screen vertically is a little disappointing.
There are some caveats to keep in mind here, but if you’re looking for a nice, pretty new computer for relatively basic tasks (you’re not going to be doing much gaming or video editing on a system with these specs) and don’t mind splashing some cash, then this iMac might do the trick for you.
