Q: 27 inch iMac - no rechargeable keyboard!

OK.  So my 2011 iMac had a dead fan and overheated.  Time to upgrade, and after much debate, I went with the 27 inch variety.  Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my machine.  It's a beautiful display and a great processor. 


Here's the problem - after absolutely loving the idea of a having rechargeable mouse and keyboard, it turns out that mine does not.  The model I was looking at (bought from an Apple store in Waterford, CT) had a rechargeable mouse and keyboard.  I was offered a slightly better price on what the sales person called and EOL (end of life) model.  I asked the differences, she looked at the two models, and stated there were no differences.  Well, it turns out there is at least one - the mouse and keyboard come with standard disposable batteries. 

 

As most of you know, the unpacking and setting up of these machines is a process ... so I was not about to try to repackage it because of this.  But suffice it to say, I'm very disappointed that I ended with, essentially, a downgrade either because the salesperson didn't know or knew and didn't want me to know.
