LG’s freshly announced Network Monitor solution was unveiled at the 2010 International Society for Technology in Education Conference. It’s available in 11 and 31 monitor options, giving your school a hassle-free virtual desktop computing option.

A computer’s resources can be distributed to several users at the same time, dividing the resources into independent sessions. Some benefits of a setup like this include less heat and noise generated by multiple computers, reducing the carbon footprint, and even reducing the cost of purchasing computers.

This week Apple quietly announced plans to start selling aluminum 20-inch iMacs to qualified educational institutions for just $899. That means that qualified schools can pre-order an $899 20-inch iMac equipped with a 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of memory, 160 GB hard drive, 8x SuperDrive, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphic card.

The new configuration is replacing the $899 Apple 17-inch iMac sold to those same institutions since 2006. It allows institutions hit hard by tax revenue declines to continue to factor Macs into their refined budgets.
