Create an account by clicking "Register" at the top of the checkout page. You should then see the discounted price, at least until tomorrow (it seems the sale runs until then).

It did for me. Just click "Register" at the top of the checkout page.

they are desktop machines.

some people have macs, some other people have thinkpads (at other points in time, there have been dells or HPs as well). But only desktops are actually used for any development.

yeah, sorry, I was referring specifically to the Google developer standard workstations.

that's hardly a response to anything. The market moves in that amount (and larger) every day.

1.07, actually. Title is wrong.
