eMac Intel

[milo]

ya but the mac mini would probably be really easy to steal..

The mini has a place where you can attach a lock or chain. It's just as steal-proof as any other computer.

I'm skeptical about the 15 inch law. Isn't eye strain a function of screen RESOLUTION, not screen size? You can set any CRT so the fonts are really big if you're worried about eye strain. With many LCD's, eye strain is *worse* with bigger monitors because the pixels are smaller.

Do you think Apple will release this rumored 19inch widscreen CRT eMac with intel processor?

I think it might be pretty cool, but it's not likely

What about you?

Sorry, but not a chance. I have a feeling the eMac will limp along for the better part of a year; with, at most, a processor speed increase. They kept the original G3 iMac around for a long time as the 'educational' model after the G4 iMac was introduced, simply because it was cheap.

Apple won't significantly improve the eMac simply because it's meant to the be ultra-cheap, all-in-one computer for schools. (Computers with fewer cords are a VERY good idea for schools, as are, unfortunately, CRTs.)

While I doubt it will happen, if educational institutions throw enough of a stink, they MIGHT upgrade it to an Intel Core Solo (with the same basic guts as the Solo Mini but I doubt we'll even see a Core Duo model.

nah, they won't make another model with a crt - theyre big and heavy, and instead of making an emac they offer a discount on other macs. I'd love it though if they did, just like I love the old G3 iMacs.
