Say Hello to iMac 4
Apple Inc. released information at www.apple.com today about the new iMac, to be introduced tomorrow by Steve Jobs in one of those love em or hate em keynote speeches. I love them, btw. The new imac features a new look, thinner, with a brushed aluminum and black glass exterior, holding some very impressive specs. The iMac now sports a 2.4-2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4 GB of RAM, up to 1 TB HD, up to an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 video card, 802.11n wireless, and a great new keyboard.
Prices start at $1199. Note: the Apple store is currently under construction. It should be up before tomorrow at 10:00 AM Pacific time when the keynote speech will be delivered. I'm going to buy one. Last edited by Willravel; 08-07-2007 at 12:19 PM.. |

Those do look so much better than the old iMacs.

www.apple.com/store is now up and running featuring the new iMac and iLife '08.
My configuration: iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme 4 GB Ram 750 GB HD Apple Wireless Keyboard Total: $3,179.00 I'll post pics in a few months when it's sitting on my desk. Edit: I'm shocked at how relatively cheap these are. We're looking at a serious price drop on the unit relative to features and specifications. |

I can't tell how the keyboard looks or works. It appears like it's more of a laptop keyboard style with a smaller range of motion on the keys. Definitely wish my fiancee's mom had waited to get me a new iPod for a few months if that's what the new ones will look like, but I got one of the black ones anyway, so no harm no foul.

I just published a brief article about it. Feel free to check it out. Note, this is not a digg request, necessarily. Feel free to digg or not digg at your discretion. I just have a bit more information in the article. |

I like...
I was looking at the lowest end MBP, but the MBP would still be pricier and I have to wonder when the next update to the line will occur... Damn you, Apple!

They are pretty, but with computer life spans being ~1/3 that of displays, I can't get my brain around the economics of all-in-ones.
Did I already say those are pretty?

17" iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/512MB RAM/160GB HD CDN$1,099 I think that's new too. I would easily pay that for this machine. The new 2.8GHz model sells for CDN$2,449 at the same store here.
