iMac in Education
The ultimate desktop computer for teaching and learning.
Geared for learning. Priced for education.
The all-in-one 17-inch iMac with its Intel Core Duo 2 processor delivers exceptional performance in an innovative design, and is exclusively available for education at just $899. The iMacs small footprint, stunning 17-inch display, built-in iSight camera, and wireless capabilities make it ideal for teachers and students alike.
A perfect fit for any school environment
The iMacs slim, all-in-one design fits easily on any desk or table. The screen height can be easily adjusted with a fingertip so it can be instantly adapted for students of different sizes.
iMac also fits smoothly into any networked environment, easily sharing files, printers, and other peripherals. iMac also runs essential software, such as Microsoft Office (sold separately). And with Parallels Desktop, you can even run Mac OS X side by side with Windows XP or Vista.
Unmatched built-in features
iMac provides everything you need, right out of the box. For maximum flexibility, iMac comes with Gigabit Ethernet and Airport Extreme Wi-Fi, as well as a full complement of ports that make it easy to connect to a variety of devices.
The built-in iSight camera and easy-to-use iChat AV software let students and teachers collaborate on projects across campus or across the globe. With iChat AV, you can enforce the no talking to strangers rule with built-in controls that allow you to decide who your students can chat with online.
Reliable, secure, and software rich
Stability, ease of use, and extensive security features make Mac OS X the ideal computing environment for schools. Mac OS X also includes a rich suite of software and tools, such as Spotlight, a breakthrough desktop search technology, and Dashboard for immediate access to miniapplications such as a dictionary, calculator, or language translator.
And with the iLife 08 suite of digital authoring applications, students can create media-rich digital projects that help them build critical 21st century skills. Whether students are making visual records of science experiments, producing historical documentaries, or recording foreign language podcasts, with iLife every subject comes to life.
