Seems like a bargain compared to the $1299 iMac. It is education only because Apple doesn't want to lose sales from the mini and other iMacs. I still hate the integrated video, t…

Seems like a really good deal indeed.

This is a nice setup. I see an upgrade for the mini coming shortly...

I think these new iMacs will be available to the public by christmas. Didn't the eMac start out as a education only computer, and then went public? I have a feeling these iMacs wi…

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 …
