Today Apple announced upgrades to their iMac line. They've moved away from offering a 17 inch model - 20 and 24 inch models are what you have to choose from. The iMac has also undergone a bit of a redesign. The new machines are slimmer and made from aluminum, taking on the appearance of Apple's Pro machines. All in all, they're pretty sexy.
The low-end 20 inch iMac is basically taking the place of the defunct 17 inch models. For $1199 you get:
* 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory
* 250GB hard drive1
* 8x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory
The next step up is a 20 inch with a 2.4GHz processor, a 320GB hard drive, and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of RAM.
If big is your thing, the 24 inch models come with the following specs:
$1799
* 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory
* 320GB hard drive1
* 8x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory
$2299
* 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme
* 2GB memory
* 500GB hard drive1
* 8x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory
All machines are now shipping with the redesigned Apple Keyboard (a new compact wireless version is available as a CTO option) and iLife '08, which includes updated versions of iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand.
