I have to give credit to Apple for doing so much in so little time. As my previous post mentioned, Apple has just introduced a new line of iPod products. The Nano, Classic, and Touch all along with the Shuffle and iPhone. Now they've decided to revamp there all-in-one desktop called the iMac. It now has an even sleeker design with a newly redesigned keyboard that comes equipped with two USB 2.0 ports; one on each side at the rear. The problem with this is that most USB drives will mess up the balance of the keyboard since it is so low. Some of the improvements are a better screen quality which is thinner and all around nice. I learned also that the quality of the package is better using anodized aluminum chassis instead of the old polycarbonate plastic.

Since this iMac is all in one, you won't see slots destroying the looks of your computer. Instead, there is one screw on the bottom of the screen that gives you access to most of the slots like DDR3 RAM which the iMac uses. For $1799US you will get a 24 inch iMac with a 2.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 processor, 1GB of memory, a 320GB Serial ATA drive, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics with 256MB of GDDR3 memory, and a slot-loading SuperDrive DVD burner. Some extras you can get are up to 1TB of storage, 4GB of memory, and a 2.8-GHz Core 2 Extreme processor. Connectivity capabilities include gigabit ethernet, AirPort Extreme 802.11n (draft) wireless networking, integrated Bluetooth 2.0, and an infrared receiver for use with the included remote control.
The base price however, is $1199US and has a 20inch screen, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 1GB memory, 250GB hard drive, 8x double-layer SuperDrive and ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory.
