Here's hoping they've solved all the capacitor and heat issues. Is the PSU still internal?

So it won't be an 802.11g device. Isn't there some next gen wireless in the pipeline?

It looks like the back of the iMac is now convex shaped. Perhaps the edges of the new iMac is thinner than before but the thickness through the middle is probably still the same. …

I'm kicking myself! I only just got my 20" imac! Oh well, the camera isn't that important to me but Frontrow looks nice!

I know next to nothing about TV tuners but did a quick google search on "mac TV tuner" and got some products that look like they work.

same boat for me. Here is what I was told, I simply bring my system back to the apple store and return with a restock fee of 10%. Nothing different that any other purchase return…

PCIe and DDR2 are welcome, but not unexpected. As usual, Apple's RAM prices are still 50% higher than the high-quality brands.

wow! im very impressed with the 17inch ! i may buy one next week , they start shipping in 8-10days

just ordered mine 17" shipping 3-5 days. I got next day shipping. also bought the 60 gig iPod, and new dock and a all-in-printer. Other good news, I sold my 40 gig iPod this mo…

This is Apple's subtle jump into the 'Media Centre' idea that the PC industry has been pushing for so long now...I mean, it's not a full fledged TV tuner and such, but I do like th…

how much thinner is the the new imac? i've just ripped the new imac dimensions off the apple site, but has anyone got the dimensions of the previous imacs? just curious since stev…

Thinner is the last thing you want. The G5 gets so hot that the tighter the enclosure the worse the cooling. I suffered from the exploding capacitors and now just wait for my iMa…

as a 12" powerbook user (1.33g alubook), i'm both disappointed and relieved. disappointed because i'd hoped for at least a speed bump, maybe a better screen, and the backlit keybo…

Anyone who was expecting something major hasn't been reading the news. With the Mactels less than a year away, this bump is fine to hold the line until the new models come.
