Today we’re big on the 20″ iMac for less than $1K
A good, dependable desktop companion for less than $1000 is a nice deal. Oh, admit it, the 13″ screen on your portable is just a wee bit too small, or the spouse wants their own machine, or the kids are getting to be that age. Best grand you’ll spend all summer – plus a free printer and a free warranty that will see you into next July.
The sub-$1,000 Mac decision on a budget of dirt and string.
One of th1’s non-profit clients is shopping for some apple love. Being dirt-poor, er, community-minded, said org is looking for the best bang for their $1000. Ideally, they want something less than that – the more savings, the better – and a look at the refurb store yields a wide variety to choose from. The 2.4 ghz macbook, coming in at $899, will be our recommendation – portable, durable, and enough computing power to last them several years. Toss on the free printer, and it’s a package deal not to be missed.
