Looking for a 2006 iMac deal? Or, maybe even a 2007-2008 used one? Don't hurry! Why get a used iMac, when you can get your own, untouched one? In real life, virginity may not be quite a treasure(my own opinion, don't throw stones yet!), but when it comes to Macs, I'd surely go with a brand new one, and if you can get it for under $900...
...that's a real 17 iMac deal, right? Why 17? I hope you're not dreaming to get a 20-inch iMac for that price, because you won't! After all, Apple may be playing smart these days, but "cheaper" doesn't mean they are going to drop their profits just to make us happy!
As you can see in the image above, Apple's education site probably leaked the news of a 17 inch iMac to arrive for $899, according to a Setteb.it article. Now, if this has been done on a purpose or not, we'll probably keep asking ourselves forever...
...but I think that having a 17-inch iMac starting at $899 could really be another great idea coming from Apple, as long as that machine will have at least 2GB of memory and a decent processor.
As long as quality of customer support remains the same, I have no worries about cheaper Macs. Really, now, I have seen people with worries about cheaper Apple products, but we have to face it - Apple is going mainstream on all fronts, and that's great, at least for them. Fortunately, despite all trials I've heard about lately, most Apple users are also happy, and that's all that really matters, in the end.
