New imac

[Thunderbird]

It's here. http://www.apple.com/imac/
I must say it doesen't do anything for me, I dont like the look much at all.

Those connections look awfully close to each other, but maybe it's just me. Other than that, it looks ok i guess. What's interesting is the G5 inside...

 

[rabidrabbit]

Doesn't do anything to me either. I don't like, nor dislike it.
It's bland... boring.

Aesthetically it looks great - cool, clear lines. Certainly makes your average PC (beige mini-tower and lumpen CRT) look like a dinosaur. Sadly it's awful value for money and usless for gaming.

Design is okay, but it's still a MAC 8) heh

I see they've gone from the lamp to a tray.

That's not a negative thing ya know

Next is a vase.

 

[Squeak]

Never liked the "lamp" iMac, too retro hip - in a depressing kind of way - so yea.
Probably one day all computers will look like this, neutral and clean.
Now they only need to make it upgradable and lower the price. :?

I can see where they got the idea..

It looks too bulky, I liked the lamp design much more.

Well, it's perfect for a college student, who needs the space.

That said, I think it'd be just as easy to mount a laptop with a reversible screen on a stand.

Weell...nice design, good CPU, but: a FX5200Ultra as graphics chip? I think a OMGWTFLOL is appropriate here.
I understand that a top of the line graphics chip is not the right solution for an iMac, but couldn't they have chosen something a leeeettle more powerful? This isn't even a considerable jump (except for the RAM doubling) from the 9200 in the iBooks...

Or a tablet PC...

 

[Clashman]

Yup, wasn't sure if you could attach keyboards to tablet PC's.

But apparently you can.

Portrait mode.

PC with hardware in base.

 

[The549]

Nice. I've always liked macs, tho my main rig is a custom pc (I'm a gamer).
At this point in time, I still would personally never buy a pc laptop.
Tho I agree with the omfgwtflol pathetic graphix...

 

[Guden Oden]

The unit's looks is schweet, but the graphics suck.

Looks like I have to wait for the thing to get upgraded to PCIe and some other graphics core that does not suck before it can become completely droolworthy...

Still, I'd take it as-is if given to me!

Which is better the 9200 or the Fx5200 ?
