Special Report for Educators
MacWorld Expo San Francisco
January 8, 2002

Tfrom July posting

The MacWorld Expo New York Keynote Speech by Apple CEO Steve Jobs was notable for its lack of dramatic new introductions. The Mac OS X 10.1 update will not be ready until September. The iMac lineup received an expected speed bump, but retains the G3 processor instead of the G4 and stays with the same form factor and display (no flat panel display iMac as yet). The G4 tower has a new silver enclosure and received a speed increase. The laptop lineup remains unchanged in features and pricing.

While not really noted in the keynote presentation, Apple has retained and still offers previous models of the iMac and G4 tower as entry level machines to the education market. A 533 MHz Power Mac G4 that yesterday cost schools around $1400 is now available for $1099! (I'll take two, thank you.) Similarly, the entry-level iMac of yesterday remains at $799 for K-12 education institutions.

At this writing, downloadable education pricelists (PDF) have not been updated. The following information is from the Apple Store for Education, which has been updated.
