A 17 inch iMac for $899, beat that students

Your IT - Home IT

Apple has released a new US$899 17-inch iMac designed to capture the education market. The new model features a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, a built-in iSight video camera and the iLife '06, suite of digital lifestyle applications. The new iMac is available immediately and will replace the eMac, Apple's last CRT based computer.

The new iMac includes a Combo drive for burning CDs and reading DVDs, 512MB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory expandable up to 2GB and hard drive storage capacity up to 160GB (standard is 80GB). Every iMac also includes a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing out-of-the-box using Apple's iChat AV, or recording a video podcast or iMovie using iLife '06. Apple's new brainchild also includes built-in 10/100/1000 BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11g WiFi, five USB ports (including three USB 2.0) and two FireWire 400 ports.

At US$899 with a host of plug and play features out of the box, plus the capability of running Windows, the new Apple iMac for education is going to put further pressure on Windows PC suppliers to come up with something cheaper and better. However, it's a hard ask.
