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.
[Update] A stream of Phil Schiller's keynote speech is now available. The new machine will be available for purchase mid-September in three standard configurations:
1.6 GHz 17" model $1299 17-inch widescreen LCD 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 512K L2 cache 533MHz frontside bus 256MB DDR400 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR video memory 80GB Serial ATA hard drive Slot-load Combo Drive
