FORGOT

I am now positive about the LCD iMac. Apple has just opened 3 new apple stores in southern california. I know 2 people who have been there, and both told me that only 1 or 2 imacs were on display. I think they dont want people to buy the old models.
 
Spec

What is the last anyone has heard about the spec? How will it compare to the iBooks?
 
spec

Bigger screen!

that is the best part.. I refused to by an ibook, and got a pismo 500 soley because of the screen. 14.1 is a minimum on any port with a dvd player.. unless of course movies aren't watched, but still, os x is so beautiful! I want to make it big!


i did hear the ibooks will be getting bigger screens though.. which actually makes sense, why should it be left out and have the smallest screen of all of apple's products.. save ipod... 13.7 on the ibook? still not great, but doable..it's about like the current imac's viewable area..

i hope the imac2 reaches over 1ghz,, but it will probably be 700 - 933 with a low end sub $800 with a 5-600 mhz.. even with an lcd... not a bad deal if it makes.

i just can't see apple going part way with the lcd's. it will be all models or nothing.

the only way you will be able to get new imac crt's is if they do like the 533Mhz G4 tower on the education site.

hmmm... still looks like a rumor.

but the building rumors are gaining steam.

but i got a question in referrence to the statement at the beginning of the article regarding the g5.

if apple releases these revolutionary new jmacs (what the hell does the j stand for? am i missing something?) will apple want to release a g5 as well. a jmac is enough to cause a new apple craze woudlnt apple want to spread out the big announcements? i kinda wanna say "bah apple would love to revamp its entire desktop line and declare a new era of apple computing with a new ear of OS!" but im torn between these two views. so if jmac is real does this impact the g5 appearance or not?

"j" is the next letter after "i".......... get it?
 
no j

I will bet my apple stock that it will not be called a 'jmac'.. who the hell thought this up?

that is just the most ridiculous thing i have heard on this site.



imac 2 maybe.. but probably not even that.
i do think there is good chance for a g4, and if so, then a superdrive in the top end. give the consumer the use for imovie2.. (not jmovie.. imovie2, you idiots)

this i think, is why they will use the moto's 7460 chip and call them g5's.. keep the consumer line separate from the pro line.. that is the idea.
 
I agree totally with DannyZR2. Apple loves those "first" things. Look, they show off that every display the sell (i'm talking seperately from the computer of course) is LCD. If the iMac becomes LCD, Apple can show off to other computer makers that it's ENTIRE line is made up of LCD's!

 
Dantec, good point about the entire lineup being LCD, I was going to mention that, but instead I'll just point out that the word is "superior", as in "I feel superior for pointing out small spelling errors."
