Apple Retains 17" iMac for Education Store

Several sites have reported that Apple is advertising a 17" iMac for $899.

This doesn't appear to be a significant new finding however, as there are reader reports that Apple has simply not stopped selling the 17" iMac in the education store since it was first introduced back in 2006.

That never actually left. They never stopped selling it to the education market.

In that... they made an entirely different version than any that they sold in the past just FOR the education market. It has an Intel GMA950 in it.

Was that in any of the 17" models before? If so maybe they are just clearing stock?

Nope, it wasn't. They released the education 17" at the same time as the very first white Core 2 Duo iMacs and have quietly been selling it ever since... with the same hardware.

It had a GMA950 when it came out back then, too.

I cant find it.:(
I even tried different school districts. From my wife's district. $1,149.00 for the 20-inch. Is the only one we can see.
Is it only available to actual schools, For school use. Or can staff purchase it for personal use.
