"&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;First on AI -- In a move aimed at depleting inventory of older PowerPC Macs, Apple Computer on Wednesday slashed the price of its 20-inch 2.1GHz PowerPC-based iMac desktop.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;The 20-inch PowerPC iMac now carries a suggest retail price of $1499 -- a $200 price reduction from $1699 -- Apple told its reseller partners in the United States. Apple also reduced the cost of the model in several other regions, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;AppleInsider&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; was told. \r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the company\\'s 17-inch PowerPC iMac pricing remained unchanged. According to contacts, Apple has had little problem clearing inventory of this model at its original suggested retail price of $1299.\r\n\r\nLast week limited inventories caused Apple to &amp;lt;a href=\\\"http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1498\\\"&amp;gt;halt large reseller orders&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; of the 17-inch PowerPC model in the United States. The model was also declared \\\"end-of-life.\\\" \r\n\r\nApple\\'s online store will continue to offer both the 17-inch and 20-inch PowerPC iMacs for individual customer orders while supplies last. The desktops are priced at $1299 and $1499, respectively. \r\n\r\nShoppers looking for additional savings may turn to &amp;lt;a href=\\\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=reality&amp;amp;creative=373581&amp;amp;camp=15553&amp;amp;link_code=ez&amp;amp;adid=0804YA3TCS20CZ4335X5&amp;amp;path=subst/home/home.html\\\"&amp;gt;Amazon.com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, which is offering its customers $125 back on the 17-inch model (&amp;lt;a href=\\\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AO1SN4/reality?creative=327641&amp;amp;camp=14573&amp;amp;link_code=as1\\\"&amp;gt;$1174.99&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;) and $150 off the 20-inch  (&amp;lt;a href=\\\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AO3PH6/reality?creative=327641&amp;amp;camp=14573&amp;amp;link_code=as1\\\"&amp;gt;$1349.99&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
