Apple Unveils 'World's Thinnest Desktop'

No es ningún secreto que soy un maquero de closet (love them G4's) asi que noticias como estas me ponen a salivar...





Touted by Schiller as "the world's thinnest desktop computer," the new iMac resembles a thicker version of Apple's LCD Cinema Display series, with the entire computer, including optical drive and power supply, built into a single case two inches deep. The system comes in three models. The low-end machine, priced at $1,299, is based around a 17-inch LCD and 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 processor, and comes with a 533MHz front-side bus, 256MB of DDR-RAM, and a slot-loaded CD-RW/DVD combo drive.

The middle system, priced at $1,499, ups the speed of the processor to 1.8GHz with a 600MHz front-side bus, and swaps the combo drive for a DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive. Both models come with an 80GB Serial-ATA hard drive.

At the top of the range comes a 20-inch version, identical to the midrange model other than the larger screen and a 160GB hard drive; it is priced at $1,899. Although all the models can be equipped with Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless networking, none of them comes with this as standard. Apple claimed the iMac will begin shipping worldwide in mid-September.
