Get School-Ready With an M-Series iMac or Mac Mini on Your Desk From Just $360
It's that time of year again, and families are looking to kit their kids out with a computer for the school year. Fans of Apple gear will already have their parents sweating at the thought of Mac prices, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. While the latest M4 Macs are super-fast, they're definitely overkill for schoolwork. In fact, any M-series Mac will get the job done and Woot is running a sale with tons of new and refurbished units available from just $360. The older M1 iMac and M2 Mac Mini machines are still more than capable for most folks, and there are some iMacs included in this sale as well. That makes this latest Woot sale well worth checking out, but be sure to do it soon -- this sale ends in a few days and some Macs are already starting to sell out. 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 $680. You can upgrade to one with an extra GPU core and more storage if you prefer with 512GB and 1TB storage on offer for just $800. That's still a lot cheaper than the newer M4 model that start at almost $1,300. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. On the Mac Mini side, an M2 model with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD can be yours for $360. Remember that some of these units are refurbished while others are brand new, so keep an eye on the warranty situation for the model you want before ordering. This Woot sale does also include some Intel-powered iMacs and Mac minis, but we suggest giving them a miss at this point. They're getting a little long in the tooth and we definitely suggest choosing an M1 machine or newer at this point. Prefer your computers to come with full Apple warranties and that new computer smell? Our list of the best iMac deals around should get you a brand-new model at a price to match your budget. Why this deal matters 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.

Bag a Bargain Apple iMac, MacBook or Accessory With Woot's Limited-Time Sale
You'll find Apple's logo on some of our favorite laptops right now, and with good reason. They're fast and look great to boot, but they can definitely come with a fair amount of sticker shock. Thankfully, there are often ways to pick up the computer you want at a price you're happier to pay and Woot's Mac sale is a good place to start. With refurbished M-series Macs on offer from just $625, what are you waiting for? Woot is also offering refurbished accessories, too, so make sure to check this sale out even if you aren't in the market for a new Mac. Fans of Apple's tablets aren't left out, either, with iPad accessories also included. The cheapest way to put an M-series Mac on your desk is the reconditioned M1 iMac for just $625 with multiple configurations and colors available. These machines are factory reconditioned and come with a 90-day Woot limited warranty. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. If you're looking for a Mac that you can take with you, the M2 MacBook Pro is yours from $699. It comes with a 12-inch display and in your choice of color. Again, this model will come with Woot's 90-day warranty. While Woot is offering some cheaper models if you're willing to go with an Intel chip, we would warn against going that route. Intel Macs are a little long in the tooth right now, and Apple is working towards removing support for them altogether. You'll notice a huge performance boost if you choose an M-series model instead. Looking for accessories? The USB-C Apple Pencil is yours for just $60, while a two-meter MagSafe 3 cable will set you back $30 rather than the usual $49. Why this deal matters Buying a refurbished Mac is a great way to get some of the newer models at prices that aren't quite as eye-watering, but you'll need to be fast. These deals end in just a few days, and they could end sooner if stocks run dry first.
