Apple iMac all-in-one line receives upgradeBy Sindre Lia, Monday 28 April 2008
Apple's popular 20-inch and 24-inch all-in-one iMacs now come with upgraded specifications across the board; all available immediately.

Apple today updated its all-in-one iMac line with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors and the most powerful graphics ever available in an iMac. With prices starting at $1200, iMac includes faster processors with 6MB L2 cache and a faster 1066 MHz front-size bus across the entire line, and 2GB of memory standard in most models.

For the first time, the 24-inch iMac features an optional NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB of video memory, to deliver up to two times standard performance for graphics intensive applications. Providing the latest in connectivity options, iMac also includes built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, built-in iSight video camera, a total of five USB 2.0 ports (including two on the Apple Keyboard) and one FireWire 400 and one FireWire 800 port.

The iMac furthers Apple's commitment to environmental progress with recyclable and durable materials including scratch-resistant glass and professional grade aluminum. Every model in the iMac line is rated EPEAT Silver and the iMac also meets the Energy Star 4.0 requirements for power consumption. Customers who purchase any qualifying Apple computer can recycle their old PC or Mac for free via the Apple Recycling Program.

Every Mac in the Apple lineup comes with iLife '08, the most significant update ever to Apple's suite of digital lifestyle applications, featuring a major new version of iPhoto and a completely reinvented iMovie, both seamlessly integrated with the new .Mac Web Gallery for online photo and video sharing. Every Mac also includes Leopard, the sixth major release of Mac OS X. Leopard features Time Machine (automatic backup), a redesigned Finder, Quick Look (instantly see files without opening an application), Spaces (creates groups of applications and instantly switches between them), a new desktop with Stacks, as well as enhancements to Mail and iChat.

The new 20-inch 2.4 GHz iMac has a suggested retail price of $1200, and includes 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, 250GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, a slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+/-R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW) and ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB GDDR3 memory.

The new 20-inch 2.66 GHz iMac has a suggested retail price of $1500, and includes 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM, 320GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, a slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+/-R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW) and ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB GDDR3 memory.

The new 24-inch 2.8 GHz iMac has a suggested retail price of $1800, and includes 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM, 320GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, a slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+/-R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW) and ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB GDDR3 memory.

Build-to-order options include a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB of video memory and up to a 1TB SATA hard drive on the 24-inch iMac; up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and up to 750GB SATA hard drive on the 2.66 GHz 20-inch iMac; and up to 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM and up to 500GB SATA hard drive on the 2.4 GHz 20-inch iMac.
