The Monday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday, known as Cyber Monday, brings a new wave of discounts, this time targeting online shopping.

Amazon.com, one of the hottest targets for web shoppers, already has a couple of offers available for Apple aficionados. These include discounts on Macs and the Apple TV set-top box, as well as price cuts on other devices from the Cupertino giant.

For example, an Apple TV (which regularly sells for $99 in the States and as much as €103 in certain European territories) now goes for $89 (€65.43) at Amazon.

Admittedly, that’s not a mind-blowing discount, but Apple isn’t even slashing one dollar today, so you’re still getting a better deal at Amazon.

As far as Macs are concerned, the price cuts are more attractive. Customers pay $1,196.99 (€880.07) for the entry-level 21.5-inch configuration with a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz), 8GB (two 4GB) memory, 1TB hard drive, and Intel Iris Pro graphics. Apple charges $1,299.00 in the US and €1,299.00 in Europe.

At Amazon, you pay $1,749.99 (€1,286.57) for the 27-inch version with 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz), 8GB (two 4GB) memory, 1TB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M graphics with 1GB video memory.

Apple charges a full $1,799.00 in the United States and €1,799.00 in Europe.

Apple last updated the iMac line on September 24, 2013, when it announced new models with fourth-generation Intel quad-core processors, new graphics, next generation Wi-Fi, and flash storage.

The company advertised the upgrade stating, “The updated iMac brings the latest technology to the stunningly thin design and gorgeous display of the world’s leading all-in-one desktop.”

We’ll keep you posted with any other deals emerging today, not only at Amazon but other retailers as well, such as Walmart, Best Buy, and others.
