Do Apple think their customers are stupid?
As many readers may know, I’m thinking over switching to a Mac, and am quite likely to once I’ve organised the pennies. But I was browsing their refurbished iMacs on the store (which does look a bit like a sell off of inventory at the moment, and was completely baffled at their pricing.
For £949 you can get a refurb of the current 24″ 2.4Ghz aluminium iMac. That’s not too bad a price. But spend £10 more, and a whopping £959 will buy you … the previous generation of 24″ white plastic iMac with OS X Tiger, iLife 06, half the graphics power and a slower processor.
Are they serious?
