/Me puts for sale sign on his Dualie :o :woot:

#209685

I am seriously amazed they got it so sleek, it look like marvellous engineering.

#209686

ANd extremely good Industrial Design! I want to shake Mr. Ive's hand.

THey have done it again. Now...

Lets look for cheap ass older iMac :naughty:

#209687

Where did the computer go?

hehe...great stuff

#209690

Impressed, wouldn't mind one of those. Shame about the GFX cards though, slightly lacking.

#209691

Guess I'm the only one who thinks of Jay Leno.

#209697

Love, love, love. A few people should check the specs (it takes PC3200 DDR SDRAM, m'jebus!).

/Me begins the count down t'when he gets his.

#209698

Oooooo, perdy :o

#209706

Hm...maybe I actually will get one :P

What a piece of crap. Yet another "pretty" expensive machine by apple, all in one piece. I want a god damn computer that I can hook up to my monitor with a KVM switch and press a button to switch from Mac to PC. Why cant they give us a two piece computer?

#209718

get a g5 & a display nd joor all set

#209723

no complaints about price in the US, juno. 1,300 bucks for the base model, given its specs, is quite reasonable and probably a better deal than a lot of off-the shelf mid-range PCs. for running panther, those specs are fantastic, looking at a very very smooth machine. though it seems like you'll need a pair of decent speakers or hook up to the stereo, like me, who lives in a freakin box. but man, that thing is hot. and at 17" / 20"... wow.

#209724

Yeah...I guess that is a good point, the thing is, I dont want to pay for a monitor because I have one already. The LCD probably makes up alot of the cost, maybe even $500 of it, if its really good quality (probably is $500 for the 20 inch one)

#209727

Hmm, I'm kinda disappointed. The front looks too eMacish. It will probably grow on me, like the G5 Tower.

@ Timan - I see it :lol: .

#209728

i like the old g4 design though. for me it isn't that good. the margins of the monitor is too thinck. i was expecting this.

#209729

damn u APPLE!!!

where am i going to find 1700 euros for an iMac!

i want one :cry:

@ steelfist - what old G5 design?

u mean the towers?

and i think that concept is butt-ugly :puke:

looks like a UFO. i don`t want any MIB knocking on my door :P

@ Timmie - lenoMac :P

#209730

man i love the new imac!

it's small, sexy, etc etc etc :D

just the huge bottom frame bothers be a bit. but not enough to kill the fact that it's just an lcd screen with a computer inside!!!! oh slot loading drive doesn't make me happy either.

but damn it's sexy. shame it's got a measly FX5200u which sucks arse.

#209735

yea. but i think the old one is the best. the g4. never saw anything more beautiful than that.

even though my previous picture was butt - ugly, :lol: , i really thought that's the actuall design. i didn't know that it was from photoshop edit.

#209736

@ steel - Since the dawn of time, anything that has yet to be released, and there is not official annoucement, assume all pictures that you see to be fake. Heck, I even presumed the new iPod with Steve Jobs on the cover of a magazine was fake. This is true, especially with Apple. Tons of people want to prove that their design capabilities can surpass Apples'.

I think the only leaked picture that turned out to be real where the newest G5 LCD Cinema Displays, and those were only leaked a day before the annoucement.

#209757

my gosh! I think it's butt ugly and freakin' bulky. that big bottom border is a no go. but oh well, it's a question of taste o' course...

#209764

I agree, the bottom border is too thick. I prefer the thin borders of the Apple Cinema Displays over this, but that 2" is oh-so-sexy! Also the white frame with an aluminium hinge? That's a no-no!

ALL IN ONE. That's what the iMac is, that's what it's going to be. End of story.
