Apple introduces the iMac G5 (*slurp!*)
Apple introduced the new iMac G5 today in Paris. Here's a picture of it:
As you can see, it combines the machine's guts with the display. There is no separate cpu section, as in the previous iMac G4. The whole thing is abut 2 inches thick. Overall, I'd say it's pretty slick, and I'm confident in predicting that Apple will sell zillions of them (assuming IBM can keep the G5 chips coming fast enough). It's available in mid-September.
The configurations are as follows:
iMac 17-inch - 256MB - 1.6GHz G5 - Combo drive - GeForce FX5200 Ultra 64 - $1299
iMac 17-inch -- 256MB - 1.8GHz G5 - SuperDrive - GeForce FX5200 Ultra 64 - $1499
iMac 20-inch -- 256MB - 1.8GHz - SuperDrive - GeForce FX5200 Ultra 64 - $1899
So quit staring, ya slack-jawed drool factory! Get thee to Apple and buy yourself one!
