Apple introduces new iMacs

Cleo · 2004-08-31, 07:53 AM

Apple finally came out with a G5 iMac.
http://www.apple.com/imac/
Comes in 17" and 20" wide screen.

The entire computer, including a G5-based logic board, slot-loading optical drive, hard disk, speakers, and even the power supply is inside the display.

SuperDrive. 1.8 GHz G5. 600 MHz frontside bus. 400 MHz DDR RAM, up to 2 GB. Serial ATA hard drives, AGP 8X graphic slots. The speakers are mounted on the bottom, so they reflect off the desk, up to the user. The keyboard will slide underneath the display when you are not using it.
The G5 module, when looking at the back, is on the right side. There are three fans in the unit, and it is "quiet as a whisper."

US$1299 - 17" 256 MB RAM, Combo Drive, 80 GB drive, 64 MB video card.

Still no sign of a headless Mac other then the G5 towers.

Now if they would just come out with a G5 laptop I would upgrade.
