slashgear seems to be trying to do a direct transcription of what steve says

 

[mark!]

glossy screen and glass?

 

[mongoos150]

Nice! I was hoping for glossy displays!

[10:07 AM] "they look way better on glossy display"

[10:07 AM] 20-inch display and 24-inch display , both are glossy ---- customer told apple they love glossy display

 

[lozanoj83]

Ahhh!

 

[ImAlwaysRight]

Dang, don't waste any time, but give us the goods up front ... nice!

 

[nakile]

.33 inch thick keyboard...

 

[aafuss1]

I think these iMacs will be easy to disassemble. And they fitted Radeon HD GPU's.

 

[mongoos150]

glossy screen and glass?

I'm very excited about this. Glossy screens just have much better color saturation and perceived contrast ratio.

I think Slash meant .33" slimmer?

Slash: "[10:07 AM] thinner at 0.33 inch"

 

[giganten]

Cool love glossy displays.

 

[cleanup]

Wow that doesn't look very diff at all.

 

[Peel]

LOL the "iSheet". Love it. Is that like the "Infinity Dress" for computers? "It's a sheet, it's a screen cover, it's a privacy divider, and it's also a blanket!"

It's a "little black dress" for your computer. No actual new computers today, just outfits to dress the existing line in LOL

 

[Daveway]

All glossy.

Let the bi*ching begin.

 

[nakile]

"Intel core 2 dual 2.8Ghz with up to 4GB RAM"

No portable hardware I see...

 

[mongoos150]

Bluetooth slim keyboard now available - AND 2.8GHz CORE2DUO! 4GB ram! I was hoping for quad though... Suppose it was a heat issue...

[10:09 AM] Intel core 2 dual 2.8Ghz with up to 4GB RAM

[10:08 AM] and feature dedicated keys as well

[10:08 AM] super thin with bluetooth 2.0

 

[TraceyS/FL]

Glossy only???????

UGH.

 

[mongoos150]

AND up to 1TGB storage? Nice!

17" is staying. Relax people

Glossy screens = false representation of color

They're nice but if I'ma Photoshoppin' then I don't like it.

I like having an option...

The glass part is the weirdest./

 

[Snide]

Slashgear is the only live feed working at the moment

None of the other feeds have posted anything since the keynote began....

[daneoni]

Only glossy displays?????

 

[ironring2006]

Wow,
that is thin!

 

[mongoos150]

The design isn't what I was hoping for... looks almost identicle to what we have now.

 

[cleanup]

He's shown the new iMac design this early... does that mean he's gonna show new even better stuff later?

 

[TraceyS/FL]

All glossy.

Let the bi*ching begin.

HA HA HA

I hadn't read this when i posted

 

[phgreer]

Looks like the current iMac and iPhone got together and had a love child.

 

[Cloudane]

I've seen some very nice glossy displays, and some which are just an invitation for glare.

Hoping they land in the former category!
