Is Apple trying to eliminate G4 Tower sales???? Lets see..
G4 Tower (high end) with 15" Studio Display
vs New iMac G4 (high end)
iMac G4 Tower
$1799.00 vs. $4098.00
Display: 15" built-in vs. 15" external
Processor: 800Mhz vs. 800Mhz x 2
Ram: 256mb PC100 vs. 256mb PC 133
Hard Drive: 60GB vs. 80 GB
Ethernet: 10/100 vs. gigabit
Superdrive: Yes vs. Yes
Video: GeForce 2 vs. GeForce 2 w/ TwinView
Pro Speakers: Yes vs. N O !!
FireWire: 2 vs. 2
USB: 5 (actual 3) vs. 2
Ok so the G4 tower gives you 1 extra processor with a larger cache, slightly faster ram, slightly larger HD, slightly faster ethernet (which is only good if the other computers have gigabit ethernet), same video card with support for 2nd display (which still doesnt accomadate ADC), and 1 less usb port and NO Pro Speakers.
Is this worth $2300.00 for a slightly faster, slightly more upgradable computer? For me it is because they are no so ugly. But just a thought... now you can buy a G4 Tower because they cost too much and you cannot buy an iMac because they look horible. Is Apple going to lose business?? hmm...
