Apple Fans Abuzz Over New iMac

28 Aug, 2004 at 12:16pm ET Article published in Tech

With Apple Computer’s next iMac expected to be unveiled as soon as next week, Mac fan sites are buzzing with speculation over the design.

Photos supposedly taken in a Paris airport elevator hit the Web on Thursday, fueling rumors that the new machine will be similar to Apple’s new line of flat-panel displays, with the guts of the computer behind the LCD screen. The photos–which have not been verified as authentic–show a slim all-in-one computer inside the familiar Apple packaging, down to the signature black-and-white box. The pictures showed up about two weeks after Think Secret posted information claiming to describe two new iMac models, one with a 17-inch display and a 1.6GHz G5 processor and another with a 20-inch display and a 1.8GHz G5 processor. The site claims the models will be priced between $1,300 and $2,200 and encased in an all-in-one housing with the motherboard located behind the display.

I guess they had to come up with some use for the G5 procs that can't make the speed cut of their better boxes.;)
