15"
1.6 Ghz G5
$1,499

17"
1.8 Ghz G5
$1,699

20"
1.8 Ghz G5
$1,799

I wouldn't be too suprised not to see a 15"

I think 17, 20 and even 23 is a possibility

Here's mine:

15", 1.25GHz G4, $999
17", 1.5GHz G4, $1499
20", 1.6GHz G5, $1999
with the last one not being shipped right away.

I don't think Apple will place a 17" 1.8 G5 only $200 more than the 15."
2" + 200MHz for only $200 seems a bit un-Apple. (likewise with the 17" and 20")
Although that would be pretty sweet... ;)

i dug up a post seemingly confirming the imac g5 rumors

uncle zeppy said this on the blocked in cj=hina thread




It used to blocked here in Shanghai but now it's working again. I thought first maybe the reason is the Apple store; you can check the prices around the world and then go to local Apple store and complain, and end up getting the laptop from Hong Kong or some other country. Then I realized the store is accessible directly (store.apple.com). The blockage was annoying mostly because even the Chinese website has always worked (www.apple.com.cn) there were some things I needed to see in English.

I think in the future things might be the otherway around, the Chinese Apple site will be blocked from outsiders. According to my source all the Apple computers are made in China and there will be cheaper models targeting the local market. The new iMac G5's are made here but production is very slow (lack of CPU's?). They must be just filling the pipeline.

it was in the apple blocked in china thread notice the last three lines

i would expect all the same price points as current models have.

with the 1.6ghz in the 15", and 1.8 in the 17" and 20"

and if this is the case, i just might buy a 17" or 20" model, i dont necessarily need the dual cpu's in the PowerMac's, but i need more FSB than the G4 offers.
