They'll pay me $899 to use a Mac with Intel integrated graphics? That's almost worth it…oh, wait, misunderstood.

Something I just noticed about the $899 Mac when considering getting one: the iPod nano edu deal does not apply to that one. Makes it a little bit harder to justify as long as that…

I don't want to hear about your dongles, people.

I noticed this thread when it was started, and went to have a look at the local (Finnish) applestore. This seemed perfect for me, as I don't need anything which was left out. I was…

DONGLEDONGLEDONGLE! I do think that the i4E (as I say it called on so random site lol) would be great for my grandma... my grandma doesn't need graphics, or Bluetooth, a 160 GB dr…

And now Apple just killed the $899 iMac.

They didn't kill it entirely, they just made it for institutional purchase only, not any old education individual. So if you want one for yourself, you've gotta know someone who do…

It makes sense, I mean, all a consumer has to do is log-in the edu-page and viola! $400 price drop. I wouldnt need the bluetooth or the remote so it would be great! Apple saw this …

you could always get a refurb 17" iMac for $200 cheaper... although I really wouldn't trust a refurb laptop, I see no problem with getting a refurbished iMac...

This is a true shame, as our lab was thinking about picking one up. Institutional purchases are nice until you realize that you have to jump through hoops and red tape rather than …

Charts Not a big leap in logic, but nonetheless TS adds a name to the app.

It wouldn't surprise me... it could even be a quasi port from NeXT. I only wish they would build iWork/iLife into the OS (and tack on another $20-$40 to the price).

Meh, the article says that it's aimed at consumers and is not a direct competitor to Excel. I still hope they include a nice selection of equations (particularly financial). It w…

Sounds very interesting. I'm a novice user of Excel so Charts might be perfect for someone like me. Speculation of course.

I found Pages very impressive, it did everything I could ever want from a word processor and things like aligning multiple pictures to the right was a one click affair not a 1 dial…

This would make me very happy if true.

Think Secret have a high degree of reliability.
