Would you buy a NEW 20" imac Core Duo for $800?

[bDIN]

I've been all set to go hogwild this spring and purchase a 24" C2D iMac with several BTO options; however, I learned today that this Monday only, our university bookstore will be selling 15 unopened base model 20" Core Duo iMacs for $799.

Is this deal too good to refuse? The extra savings would mean a quicker replacement a few years down the road, plus it would kick the crap out of what I have now (and rarely use) — a blue & white G3 400 mhz tower.

So... what would you do?

I'd say get the Core Duo, it's only a matter of time before once again Core 2 Duo is the New G3.

The deal is amazing. I'd say take full advantage of it!

 

[clevin]

if its superdrive, i would go for it.

 

[Eidorian]

That's a deal! I'd go for it unless you're obsessed with Core 2.

 

[SMM]

I would get in line now.

 

[bDIN]

Yes; it has a superdrive. Full specs:

20"
Core Duo
512 ram
250G HD
superdrive
ATI Radeon x1600, 128MB

$799

 

[Eidorian]

Hey, like I said. BUY IT.

Refurbished it's a good $1,199.

 

[jessep28]

It's a good deal. I would go out and buy some RAM to upgrade to at least 1GB but even then that's a decent price.

Yes; it has a superdrive. Full specs:

Core Duo
512 ram

Buy it!


(while your at it, would you mind picking one up for me as well? I'll pay you back! )

 

[jellis]

bDIN what school do you go to? I want to go there and buy one. Great deal.

 

[QCassidy352]

uh, buy one for you and pick up one for me??

 

[backsidetailsli]

my god,
go nowww
thats insane, and you can always upgrade your ram

 

[xfiftyfour]

Heck, even if you don't actually want one, buy it and sell it on eBay and put your profits towards your 24"! That's an outstanding deal.. definitely take advantage of it!

 

[Gigi]

I'd definitely buy it - very good deal (if it's really a new one).

 

[fivetoadsloth]

id definatly get it, though i would add more ram once my finds have increased again. that is a great deal, much to good not to take.

 

[bDIN]

Sounds like I should be first in line when the store opens. I think I've made my decision. I'll definitely bump the ram up to 1.5G as soon as I get it. Hopefully I won't have any problem getting it, as they've only got 15.

They're also selling 30 17" Core Duo imacs for $499. It's Faculty/Staff Appreciation Day.
