Shown as 'one more thing' by Phil Schiller at the Apple Expo Paris keynote speech, the iMac G5 debuted to enthusiastic crowds. Taking the form of one of the recently introduced aluminum displays, the iMac is now the thinnest desktop personal computer on the market at only 2" thick. Featuring a 1.6 or 1.8 GHz G5 processor, NVidia 5200 graphics processor, and a choice of 17" or 20" displays, the iMac is redesigned with the all-in-one ease of use of the original iMac with the horsepower and capability of a modern-day machine.
