And among other things, they stuck in Core 2 Duo in them and dropped the price on them even more ($999).

You know how I said a few times that I'd only buy an iMac when they slap in the C2D?

...Yeah.

Man..I'm tempted to grab one...

That's hot. Is the 24" resolution 1920x1200?

EDIT: ooooo...yes it is.

Oh man……but you can upgrade these thing after the fact can you (ie, more ram or better video down the line?) cause wow……24” and $1000. that’s a bargain in Mac terms.

You guys seem to be missing the fact that the 24" iMac is $2000. iMacs simply START at $999 (for the 17" model).

yeah.....i just saw that. damn you ash for wording it weird

**Chuck232** · 09-06-2006, 08:22 PM

Man, those are pretty good prices, especially at the low end. $1K ($900 after educational discount) is pretty cheap to get a decently nice computer.

Nice so the laptops should be updated soon.

I think you can exchange it within two weeks if there is a hardware update as long as it's not a BTO.

they added 7600GT as an option WOW

I think they are using notebook like PCi16x slot...
which mite means this is an upgradable Imac.

I think Dell is IN DANGER... he cant go near Imacs for home PC NEVER at these prices
and the design too

Dont worry

if u look at the 17 inch model WITH X1600 graphics it is the same as yours 100% nothing is changed just the CPU.

U can upgrade your Yonah to a 2.3 MEROM any time u wish....
it is the same socket!

it is just u lost 100$ on cpu.. thats all...

infact ur CPU is UPGRADABLE... upto 2.33 MEROM (which is used now in new imacs)

just put it inside wghen 2.3 price go down..

They can return it, I was on my last day of the return cycle yesterday and so I did. I would have exchanged it if the Apple Stores wouldn't be getting it in until Friday :/

This may be a stupid question, I've been out of the loop for quite some time now. Does this mean we can now build a computer from components and just slap Mac OS on it and it will work? I guess drivers might be a problem. Are there any lists of hardware that is known to be supported?
