New cost of *public* entry to the “Apple Logo” club…$899?
Apple has long been criticized for having products with too high of a price tag and peformance that could be had elsewhere for much cheaper. Apple has stated before that they don’t know how to build cheap products that they could be happy with…*pertaining to netbooks in particular*. However, the entrance into the “Apple Logo Club” as Microsoft’s incredibly retarded CEO claims has now become a tad lower thanks to what appears to be a leak of an upcomming announcemnt of a 17″ iMac for the masses. The 17″ iMac was discontinued for the mass public back in ’06 but was kept available for “edutcation”. However, a slip up on an educational email mentions a 17″ iMac for only $899. Now, is this a new iMac that is coming back into production in order to make some money on Apple’s “lower end”, is it the educational model being touted in these tough economic times to gain attention, or did someone at Apple just have a case of the sausage fingers? Hopefully, the public will get a taste of an $899 iMac, even if it is a smallish 17″ screen. Not everyone needs 24″ inches. So would you bite at that size and price?
