Chrysaor Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If you go to Apple Education store, there is a new iMac 17" priced at 899$. I wonder if this is eligible for free iPod too? Specs: 17-inch widescreen LCD 1440x900 resolution 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor (1) 512MB memory (2x256MB SO-DIMMs) 80GB Serial ATA hard drive 24x Combo drive (DVD-ROM, CD-RW) Intel GMA 950 graphics with 64MB of shared memory Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21229-new-899-imac-17-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
John the Geek Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 This will help get a lot more of these on my campus. Just awesome!! Not a powerhouse, but a great computer for most users. Nice. =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21229-new-899-imac-17-model/#findComment-140282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldousHxlE Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Basically it looks to be a souped up Mac Mini built around a 17" LCD, missing only the SuperDrive. I like it. Seems like a damn good deal to me. I was trying to decide between a Mac Mini or a MacBook. Throwing this option in the ring is definitely going to leave me thinking. Hmm.....

retroz Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 No ATI for 899....forget it. Build a $300 dollar machine and wait I say. Forget it. man, Apple just loves to stick it to you and make you pay no matter what! Duo Core had price cuts last month, did we see it on the prices of Apples? Anwser:Nope!

gwprod12 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Apple computers may not be that bad of a deal, but for someone like me, it's hard to justify spending a fortune to replace parts I already have. Apple, if you're listening, sell a motherboard that will run OS X legally.
