This odd Apple Education page seems to suggest a 17-inch iMac for $899. It appears in Apple’s enews but, as you see after jump there are only 20- and 24-inch models available. What a twist!
The educational newsletter this appeared in seems to have been written for March and, considering we’re almost done with March this could have been a false alarm or a real leak.
When the new iMacs originally came out they offered the 17″ white model for $899 for education. They were $799 if purchased in quantities over 20. I’m guessing this is an old line from when they switched to aluminum. The most recent promotion for higher ed I got was for the 20″ aluminum iMac.
so what excatly is the deal? sorry, i don’t get it …
apple may be reintroducing the 17 inch iMac in aluminum for $899. i think a lot of people would take that over the mac mini.
$900 for a 17″ computer. I will wait until my AIG bonus check clears before I buy a few.
