sbohan Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Does anyone know which chip it is they are using in these. I was reading somewhere the other day about there being conroe and Merom, which is used in these Imacs. When I get paid next I am ordering the 24" one now problem, brilliant move by apple! On second thoughts I may well hold off until Leopard is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spielo Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Cinema Displays have also been reduced so that the iMac isn't a cinema display with a free computer built in :D On second thoughts I may well hold off until Leopard is released. If you wait until Leopard is released, then you may as well wait until the iMac is updated again... and if you're waiting until then, you might as well wait until OS X 10.6 is released... and if you're going to wait for that, you might as well wait for the iMac to be updated again. Do you see where this is going? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmodell Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 wow, no fanfare or anything lol.? I was just doing my normal browsing from page to page and was shocked to see a 24" iMac in the applestore! ???I promised myself no more computers for 3 years since i got the mac pro... Does anyone think this means that the September 12th event will now be about a new iPod + a Movies store, so they released the iMac early so it won't be the focus of the event?

Spielo Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I was wondering about the relative value of the new iMacs, so I tried to configure a similar computer on Dell's site, but there simply isn't another computer like it :) Even when I tried building a desktop machine + 24" monitor, it'd only let me select up to 19".
