I would hope that Apple keeps the 17" iMac around and lowers the entry price for the iMac to $999 rather than limiting it to EDU sales only. A 17" wide screen is a great size for a lot of people, and some might acrually prefer it to a larger screen …

I think that the next revision could bring a few price drops to the Mac line due to lower cost of some of the components. I wouldn't bet on this, but I do see the possibility of the iMac dropping up to $200 for the low end 17" and the Mini dropping …

It would be nice to see the 17" drop down to the $999 price range for an entry model again. I think that the component prices have droped enough to allow for this since the 17" iMac was released.

Quote: Originally posted by PB I am inclined to think similarly about this. I expect Apple to be rather conservative in the following months or year, in regard to updates in the consumer lines. Especially when there is no reason to not do so. The…

Quote: Originally posted by gar That's a good explaination. The reason I don't think Apple will put a 2.4Ghz Conroe in the next generation 20" iMac is: - How many room for upgrades is left. a $900 Core 2 Extreme is not an option, so Apple can…
