Apple announced the new iMacs today. Pretty sleek, although I’ll miss the white. My only gripe is that black frame around the screen. Why not make the entire face of it black, in all its fingerprint-prone glory? I think the brushed aluminum bottom section looks a bit odd. It’s like they were trying to go the route of the iPhone look, but didn’t go all the way. Also, it only comes in the glossy screen, because Apple says customers love the glossy screen. I’m not sold on it, the few times I’ve sat down in front of those things I haven’t been impressed with the amount of glare they produce.
The keyboard is pretty sexy too, measuring only 0.33 inches thick! Again though, my only concern is what it’s like to type on those keys. Anyone with a newer MacBook will probably say you get used to it, and it’s probably much quieter than its predecessor.
Overall though, it’s an attractive, powerful machine, and the prices are reasonable. I’ll have to start saving my pennies to replace my 17′ Gen 5 PowerPC iMac! I measured, the 24″ will fit on my desk with just 1 inch to spare before it hits the shelves overhead. Giddy up!
