New iMacs!

Today Apple announced greatly updated iMacs. They featuring brand-new Extreme 2 Duo Intel processors (up to 2.8GHz), a boldly refreshed pro design featuring 20” or 24” glass displays encased in aluminum, an all-new keyboard and iLife ‘08 (more on that above!)

Standard configurations are:

20” iMac with a 2.0GHz processor, 250GB hard drive and ATI Radeon HD 2400XT video card – $1199

20” iMac with a 2.4Ghz processor, 320GB hard drive and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro – $1499

24” iMac with a 2.4Ghz display and 320GB hard drive and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card – $1799

All models come standard with 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless capability, an 8x Superdrive, 1GB of RAM, and the new Apple Keyboard. They can be customized with up to 4GB of RAM, and up to a 1 TB hard drive.

The new iMacs feature three USB 2.0 ports, a Firewire 400 port, a Firewire 800 port, a gigabit ethernet port, mini-DVI port, an audio-in and audio-out port. All models also continue to feature a built-in iSight camera and microphone. You can run a second display up to 23” from the mini-DVI port.

The new glass displays are glossy, and the resolution appears to be the same as current 20” and 24” iMacs – 1680×1050 and 1920×1200 respectively. More details to come soon…

  • New Mac mini: Operation "Sandy Bridge"

    Apple announced brand new Mac minis today, with notable changes.

    Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors have been added to Apple’s new line of Mac minis in the form of Intel Core i5s. Now, what is “Sandy Bridge,” you ask? Specifically, that’s the name of the processor that is the successor to the Nehalem processor. Sandy Bridge processors are touted to be “up to 2x faster” per Apple’s claims.

    The new Mac minis sport faster graphics (with a discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics processor) and also include support for Thunderbolt connectivity. The Thunderbolt port gives access for the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and also supports Mini DisplayPort peripherals. Mac mini features an HDMI and built-in SDXC card slot.

    What’s more (or should I say “what’s less) is that these new models have eliminated optical drives, taking a cue from the MacBook Air line. A separate SuperDrive is available for purchase.

    My favorite part so far? NO MORE POWER BRICK. Mac mini now has a built-in power brick, so all you see is a single cord.

    Standard configurations:

    * 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 2GB RAM: *$599.99*
    * 2.5GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 4GB RAM: *$799.99*

    Server configuration:

    * 2.0GHz, dual 500GB hard drives, 4GB RAM: *$999.99*

    All models come with Lion (OS 10.7) pre-installed.

    We will be listing these and CTO options shortly. More updates as we get them!
