Apple introduces a new iMac model tailored for students
Apple introduced a new iMac configuration today targeting the educational market. The new iMac will be priced at $899 and will feature a 17 inch display, a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, a built in iSight video camera, and Apple’s iLife 2006 application suite. The new iMac will replace the eMac system which effectively ends all CRT based Macs from Apple’s product lineup. Other specs on the new educational iMac include:
- 512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- 24x Combo drive
- Intel GMA 950 graphics
- built in Airport Extreme wireless networking
- 80GB 7200 RPM SATA HDD
- mini-DV out
- built in stereo speakers and microphone
- Mighty Mouse and Apple keyboard
That’s a pretty good deal if you ask us. Think about it for a second.. for $779 you get a dual core 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo Mac mini but without a monitor, keyboard, mouse. For only $120 dollars more, you get a 17 inch display, a keyboard, and a mouse (although you lose out on the SuperDrive). Not too shabby.
Aside from this deal, you can also get in on another interesting offer from Apple. Get an iMac Superdrive system and you’ll get a rebate for an Apple iPod. You can get up to $179 dollars back for a 2GB or 4GB iPod nano as well as a 30GB/60GB iPod. This means you can basically get a 2GB iPod nano for free after rebate. Not too shabby.
