Apple Sale: Put an M1 iMac or M2 Mac Mini on Your Desk From Just $370
It's no secret that buying Apple computers can be an expensive endeavor, but buying refurbished ones is a great way to save some money. And because you don't have to buy the latest models to get a great machine these days, the older M1 iMac and M2 Mac Mini machines are still more than capable for most folks. That makes this latest Woot sale well worth checking out because it has refurbished M-series Macs starting from just $370.
There are also Intel-based iMacs on offer but we suggest skipping those and going straight for the M1 models thanks to the much-improved chip and modern design. All of these iMacs are reconditioned, the cheapest of which is an M1 model with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $600. You can upgrade to one with an extra GPU core and more storage if you prefer with 512GB and 1TB storage on offer $700 to $800. That's still a lot cheaper than the newer M4 model that start at almost $1,300.

On the Mac Mini side, an M2 model with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD can be yours for $370 while upgrading to an M2 Pro will mean getting 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for $780. If you need the ultimate in storage an M2 Pro Mac Mini with a 2TB SSD can be had, but you'll pay a cool $1,100 for it. A similarly-specced M4 model would cost $1,399 or more brand new.
This sale also has a range of iPad Magic Keyboards on offer starting from $280, but the Macs really are the stars of the show here. Woot says they come with a 90-day limited warranty and some models are available in your choice of color so make sure to pick your favorite before ordering.

All of Apple's M-series Macs are a solid buy if you can find one at the right price, something that couldn't have been said about the older models based on Intel chips. Even the original M1 chips are fast enough for the majority of people, and they can even play plenty of games as well. If you want that famous Apple to design and to be able to run MacOS apps while spending as little as possible, this could well be the sale for you.
