Display Price Drop

I wonder how much a refurb 20"er will cost now?

They went for 1099 at the old price point... now they may go for $799?

That would be exciting. I love refurbs.

I wonder if they have fixed all of the problems with the 23" displays. Another 20" may not be such a bad idea...

I've had a 23" since they were introduced (hook it to my PB at work) and there has been no problem with it - it's just glorious.

I believe that you are correct about apple finally coming out with more upto date currency conversions, I notice that prices on all macs (not ipods) are now lower at the online apple store canada.

From memory, the eMacs are 50$CAN lower, iPod mini is 20$CAN lower, iPod 20GB is 30$CAN lower, iPod Photo 60GB is 50$CAN lower, iBook 12" is 50$CAN lower too...

Seems to me like almost everything got a price drop/exchange rate fix.

Edit: oh yeah, the iPod price drops are because they had to drop that stupid extra tax for the CIRPA (finally. wait a minute, can I get a refund on mine?)

As for the cheaper displays and the rumored Sub $500 iMac, I don't think there is any direct connection. A sub $500 iMac would be targetted at custommer demographic that will probably hook it up to a display they already own. Heck! I wouldn't be surprised if keyboard and mice would only be bundled as an option.

Keyboard and mice optionnal? Bring it on! Especially at Apple's prices:
- Keyboard: 40$CAN
- Mouse: 40$CAN

Hum, is it only me, or I remember both of these selling for 80$CAN each?!

If they sell them at 40$CAN separately, I can't imagine Apple putting those optionnal (unless it's only for BTO, which would be nice to lower the price even further... if not, there's eBay) ;-)

I just got a 30 inch on thurday of last week, do you think i can get a refund??? :mad:

Yes. If they say no, create a scene. If that doesn't work, return it for a full refund. Then by a new one.

Yes, I think so--I think Apple has price protection for a certain time. So call fast, and good luck :)
 
The 20 and 23" are still a little on the high side comparatively. The are exceedingly well designed though. Another $200 off of each would have made them really competitive.
 
Methinks my office will be buying 4-6 20" displays - just put it in the budget for 1st quarter!

I agree. With coupons, I was able to get the new Dell 2005FPW for right at $600 delivered. I think their starting price is $799. It has the same specs as the Apple monitor, it's just not packaged nearly as attractively, but for $400, I was willing to overlook that.

There is only one brand of Powermac, but many different brands of monitors. I'm just not willing to pay extra because the frame is a little nicer. Price that puppy at $750-850 and they won't be able to keep them on the shelves.
 
Nobody noticed "The New Dual 2.3GHz Xserve G5" and "Xsan. Now shipping."?

Didn't see that yesterday...

Edit: oups, previous thread... didn't see that either. :D

Man oh man... Will we really see the iPod micro and "Mac mini" in a few days?

With my weird luck, here's what's going to happen: I've been waiting for years for a low-cost Apple desktop, but I'm sure I'll find a high-paying job at the last second and end up buying the top PowerMac instead. :rolleyes:

Stupid four-leaf clover.
 
still priced to high for average user...

don't get me wrong they are great monitors but still priced about 200 dollars to high!

this is making me reconsider whether to get an imac now or a PM. can u have two monitors with the imac or not with that graphics card ?
Click to expand...

No. There is no video out.
 
Good news, though I am happy that i got the Dell 2001FP (was to have been the 2005FPW). My final price after other after sale coupons and credits was just $475 for the 2001FP. And in the end I think I like the "taller" pixel count over the "wider" pixel count.

*SIGH* yes, there is. Has been since the G4 iMac (Mini-VGA) and the later G3 iMacs (VGA)

The video out is mirrored (not spanned) but there are ways around that. Google it. Note that the video out requires an adapter to standard VGA, and you would then need yet another adapter to connect the DVI Apple monitor. Whether it is worth going through all that is another question entirely. Some third party mini-VGA to DVI adapters might exist, but I was unable to locate any in my exceedingly brief search.

AirPort Express, Extreme and the card have all been reduced, along with the BT Keyboard and Mouse.

Wow.
Click to expand...

Standard (non-wireless) mouse and keyboard were reduced by 50%. Perhaps future iMac and PM revision will come with BT mice and keyboards.

Yep, we're looking at an 8%-9% drop on average for nearly every mac in every store except the US one. Some items have lowered even further for example the iSight is now £99, previously priced at £119.

No price drop in China. I plan on buying an iMac after MSWF, but I'm having to pay an extra 23% on the 20". I really hope they drop the price of the iMac in China soon.

hopefully we will see a 17 inch one as well. And maybe ever a 15 inch for the"possible" headless iMac.

I just hope the headless iMac with have good resolution on a widescreen tv, if it will be able to be used as a "media center"
Click to expand...

I think 15" displays are pretty much dead now. I even think it's doubtful Apple will release a new 17" - for what purpose? To comlpiement the headless iMac? Why would people pay $499 for a Mac and then another $499 or whatever for the display? I don't see it happeneing. The logical time to release a new 17" would have been along with these price drops.
 
As others have pointed out, the prices of the pro keyboard and mouse have also dropped significantly. Could this be a way to clear the way for a revision of keyboards and mice? Maybe something to better match the Pro line?

40" of screen realestate for $2K - not bad. I wish I had the money to blow on it.
Click to expand...

Ofcourse, it's twice the surface (amount of pixels), not twice the diameter. "40 inch of screen realestate" would amount to 4 20" displays.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see 15.4" and 17" widescreen DVI displays launched next week!
Click to expand...

Yes, please. What would the 15.4" cost?? $499? $599 for the 17". Hmm that would be:

- a headledd imac á $500 + 15" á $499 = $999. That's a bit more than an emac now so it might be possible.

Dunno if they wanna sell 15" displays though. 15" is pretty small for a widescreen display. I guess we'll see in 7 days.

Now, will we get to see a quicktime live stream or do we have to watch it afterwards??!
