Which one will you buy?
Will you get the cheap low end iMac with the CRT screen, 32 meg Video card, and DVD drive for $1,199 or will you want to get the iMac with the LCD screen, 64meg Video card, bigger bus size and combo drive and airport card built in for $1,699? Forget about a Superdrive unless they don't charge for it and forget about mhz if it does not have a G4 in it or is not above 1Ghz. Its the other new features that will make it shine. Unfortunatly, the only one worth owning will still be expensive one. But, it should not come as a surprise because they did the same thing with the iBook. Most loved the combo drive model at $1,799. I think the Rev 2 iMac LCD will be worth all the money you spend for it though. Just like the iBook is today.
As far as the people saying that a LCD iMac can't cost as much as a high end iBook you are wrong. It costs more money to design the iMac with bigger parts, motherboard, screen than it does for an iBook. Unless they plan to lose money on the LCD model and make it up on the overpriced crt ones, the price must be high. Apple has not lowered prices on its computers since the blue & white g3, look at the prices from 3 years ago for its models, its more expensive now to buy them. Thats because Apple spends way more money designing their pc's than any competitor would ever want too. We all want Apple to try to beat its competitors on price of its computers, but Apple is only good at beating the other guys at products that are way ahead of their time. Products that the competitors have not invented yet. This macworld will only be revolutionary if it changes the way you look at Apple's computers. Low prices are revolutionary, excellent ahead-of-their-time products for a high price is something Apple has delivered since its creation and is nothing new.
