Apples Introduces the New iMacs
As predicted, Apples introduces their new iMacs last Tuesday, April 28, adding faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors as well as a more powerful graphics option for its 24-inch iMac, bringing the low end up to 2.4GHz and with the top end reaching 3.06GHz. The high end 24″ 3.06GHz iMac also introduces the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS (512MB) video card.
“The iMac’s gorgeous aluminum and glass all-in-one design has been an incredible hit with our customers and is just one of the reasons Mac sales are growing three and a half times faster than PC sales,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With the latest Intel processors, a faster new graphics option and more memory, customers now have even more reasons to love the iMac.”
The new iMacs come in three basic models:
- The $1,199 20-inch with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB GDDR3 memory;
- The $1,499 20-inch model with a 2.66GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB GDDR3 memory; and
- The $1,799 24-inch offering with a 2.8GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB GDDR3 memory.
Apple also offers a $2,199 build-to-order 24-inch model that ships with the 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo chip, Nvidia GeForce 8880 GS graphics card and 500GB hard drive. The processor and graphics card options are available separately for the 24-inch iMac for $200 and $150, respectively. (Previously, Apple had offered a build-to-order iMac with a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo extreme chip.)Storage options include hard drives of 500GB, 750GB, and—for the 24-inch iMac—1TB.
Wow, All I got to say is that I got to get me one of those.
