27-Inch iMac (2020)
- What's the deal? Take $599 off the 2020 27-inch iMac
- Where can I get it? Amazon
Apple's 27-inch iMacs are hard to recommend nowadays due to their inclusion of Intel chips instead of the new Apple silicon.

The 256GB 27-inch model is $1,199.99, down from $1,799.00, and the 512GB 27-inch model is $1,699.99, down from $2,299.00.

Some like paying a premium to get a premium device, especially with the M series. So if premium devices go on sale, and one is already intending on purchasing it because a $500 or $1000 computer won’t cut it for their needs, then even saving a few hundred is a great deal. It’ll pay for AppleCare, software they need, accessories, etc.
My 2012 27” iMac is still going strong (with updated ram and ssd) 10 years later. I surely can’t say that about my sister’s laptop that was purchased the year after for a few hundred, it’s unusable now. Paying a premium can pay off in the longterm, especially with the expected longevity of the M series devices
For example, in 2011, I bought my mid-2011 13" MBA (Core i5, 256GB) for $1600 after taxes. Seeing that it is still running solidly - and that is without any upgrading or repairs - if I calculate the per month cost for that Mac, I'm looking at:
11 years * 12 months = 132 months + 5 months (I bought it in June) = 137 months.
$1600 / 137 months = $11.67/month for the total monthly cost of my Mac.
If I took that PC into account at $750 total cost, that 3.5 months gets me:
3 years * 12 months = 36 months + 6 months (half a year) = 42 months.
$750 / 42 = $17.85/month.
But seeing that is only 3.5 years, I'd have to buy a new one every 3.5 years. I'm looking at buying at least 3 of these to barely make the 11 years I've had the MBA. That's $2250 total.
That isn't looking at anything wrong, that is future proofing and showing how durable and long lasting Apple's offerings are compared to a PC, and that upgrading every 2 - 3 years may not net the best value.
BL.
The strategy makes huge sense with supply being so difficult recently. Sell more of high-yield lower-cost base level units and delay high end sales until after yields improve. I just hope that Apple does not make this SOP and always hold back the top product until late in the cycle.
