The 24-inch, 3.06GHz iMac (model no. MB420LL/A) is on sale this week at Maccconnection.com for the discounted price of $1,329. That makes it $870 less than its MSRP and about $20 lower than the refurbished version that was available at Apple’s online store two weeks ago. Free ground delivery is included and sales tax applies for residents of New York.

While a 24-inch display is always nice to look at, a 27-inch is better, and for that we have the 27-inch iMac which includes the same 3.06GHz processor, 4GB of RAM and 1GB hard drive as the featured product. With its $100 mail-in-rebate it can be purchased from Macconnection.com for only $1,599 and also has FREE shipping included. For a slightly more affordable solution Apple is offering the refurbished 24-inch, 2.66GHz iMac for only $1,099 from its online store, which has FREE ground shipping included. Help keep your iMac running smoothly with the AppleCare Protection Plan, offering extended repair and telephone support, as well as onsite service. Right now it’s on sale at Amazon.com for $149 and has shipping rates starting at $4.09.
