Apple revamps its iMac

The Apple iMacs hadn’t been vamped in a very long time and were certainly in need of a revamping, so when today they unveiled the all new iMac line featuring 20- and 24-inch widescreen displays encased in aluminum and glass enclosures, there was much rejoicing in Macville. The iMacs feature the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors and a new, ultra-thin aluminum Apple Keyboard and built-in iSight video camera. The 20-inch iMac now starts at USD$1,199, (USD$300 less than the previous 20-inch
model), and the 24-inch iMac comes in at USD$1,799 (USD$200 less than the previous 24-inch model).

The new iMac includes the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors running up to 2.8 GHz with 4MB of shared L2 cache and up to 4GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory. The iMac line features ATI’s next generation of graphics with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory and the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB of GDDR3 memory. The new iMac now offers up to 1TB of internal storage to accommodate a user’s growing library of digital photos, movies and music. The iMac includes built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n wifi networking, delivering up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g; Gigabit Ethernet; a total of five USB 2.0 ports (including two on the new Apple Keyboard); and one FireWire 400 and one FireWire 800 port.

The new iMac also features highly recyclable and durable materials including scratch-resistant glass and professional grade aluminum. The power-efficient iMac also meets the stringent new Energy Star 4.0 requirements.

The new iMac line is available immediately through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.

The new ultra-thin aluminum Apple Keyboard is just 0.33 inches thin at its front edge. A new optional Apple Wireless Keyboard is a compact design that, with Apple’s wireless Mighty Mouse, offers a cable-free desktop. The new Apple Wireless Keyboard will ship by the end of August and will be available as a build-to-order option with the new iMac through the Apple Store for a suggested retail price of USD$30, or USD$50 when purchased along with the wireless Mighty Mouse, and as a standalone purchase for a suggested retail price of USD$79.
