Apple has released an Education only iMac for $899

Apple's press release

From a MacWorld article....

..."The $899 iMac boasts some similar specifications to Apple’s base-model iMac that’s available for $1,299. The Core Duo processor is clocked at the same speed — 1.83GHz — and it features an iSight video camera and comes with iLife ‘06 pre-installed. It also comes with 512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, expandable to 2GB, built-in 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet capabilities, built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi wireless networking, three USB 2.0 ports and two FireWire 400 ports.

What’s missing compared to the $1,299 retail model is Bluetooth connectivity, an optical SuperDrive (instead this system features a 24X CD-RW/DVD-ROM “Combo” drive), and ATI-based graphics — this system instead features integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics. The educational iMac also features a smaller hard drive — 80GB, as opposed to 160GB"...
