NEWS: Apple Launch New iMacs

GEEK: Apple Launches New iMac

As expected, Apple has launched the G5 iMac today. Rumors have proved largely accurate, with the new iMac being a single unit, appearing to be a chunky TFT monitor, and available in either 17 or 20" widescreen models.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet my next computer.

mmm iMac goodness

yaeh, it's the spitting image...

This thing is COOL!!!!

Now, I want to see someone take one of those apart.

I think it is!

Praise the rod!

I've been waiting for this long time...
I was goaing to buy my iMac when I noticied that wasn't on sell anymore, so I had to wait for the new model.
It worthed.

Can we not carry ourselves on the iPod's reputation quite so heavily?

I am not Mac fan, but I must admit, Im kinda curious about this one.
Hmmmm virtual PC....

the compact design lets me hope that powerbook g5 isnt too far away

I just bought Virtual PC....not the greatest, but if I had a G5, it would have run faster.

How hot is that thing going to get when it's acttually being used?

IN ROD WE TRUST

It does look familiar

By the way, I made that website when I was 16, when I googled for a picture it came up I haven't seen it in years.

Oh and though the new iMac doesn't interest me at all (the classic problems compact computers have always had apply, the portability of a desktop with the expandability of a laptop), it does show that they can miniaturize the G5's enclosure enough to make a PowerBook in the very near future.

And that my friends is very very good news.

Cool Operator

The speaker grill lets a trio of ultra-quiet blowers draw cool air into the system. These custom heat dissipaters can rotate at speeds as low as a few hundred RPM. Advanced thermal software spins them as fast or slow as needed and you’ll hardly ever notice them. Quieter than a whisper, the iMac G5 measures less than 25dB when idle (at the same distance of 50cm, a whisper in a quiet room measures more than 30dB). A slit in the back of the case allows heat to rise out the top.

Because of that, my mind, and my load, has been blown.

So... It's a laptop.... that sits on your desk?

Apple is great, it's like the Porsche of computers, it caters to a group of people who despise computers and think of them more as centerpieces to their spcious condos rather than a work device.... it ads to the total environment, improves your feng shui, and basically is good for about 5 or 6 tasks, one of them being email.

That's odd, cause I use my Mac at work everyday. Does this mean I'm not working? Cool! I also didn't know we were entitled to spacious condos, I need one of those.

Another being designing this website and running the company that maintains it.

i edit video, the dual g5 i just bought, i held back for years, has saved my life millions of seconds of sittign around and waiting for things to render

yay mac!

Actually, $1300 ain't half bad. I should really research the price before I make assumptions like that

Ace gets the Gold Medal.

What if they built the computer RIGHT INTO THE KEYBOARD? Talk about miniaturization!

Special Olympics?
