I don't talk or read Italian, but the little bit of english in the top is mentioning a 17" imac.
You can check the website here.
Who knows more?
It will start at $ 899

^ Exactly. If Mac Mini can exist, the low end white macbook can exist, why not 17" iMac?
Though killing a product and bringing it back is not something that Apple does, generally.
One thing. The price of 899$ will kill the high-end Mac Mini. It might be priced higher.. Or it might be a false call altogether.

How so? The wider the price range, the broader the appeal, especially in the current economic conditions.
Absolutely. If Apple is ever going to start producing cheaper machines, this would be the perfect time.

They do offer educational discounts but they are nothing spectacular (trust me). From what I can glean from the article, my guess is that the 17" iMac (if it actually happens) would be sold directly to educational institutions for use in classrooms and not necessarily for the general public. I draw this conclusion primarily from this statement: "17-inch iMac designed specifically for the educational sector."
I think it would be a great idea to have a lower cost iMac even with a 17" screen, but I have a feeling Van is correct and it will be for the education market only.

I think it's especially to get schools buy Macs instead of Dells and HP's.
Ofcourse 1100 euros (dunno the dollarprice) is a lot if you need 20.
Every 200 euros less, is usable for a schooltrip
My statement is: The bigger the better
So even IF it will become a costumer-mac, I would not even think of buying it

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Personally, I don't like not being able to get the faster chips, bigger drives, more memory with a smaller screen and being forced to buy the huge 24" iMac just to get the speed.
