More iMac Details

Well this will only make my choice over a new computer that much harder. The iMacs are looking much better assuming that they do get the speed bumps tomorrow. Especially because the new low end Power Mac only has one processor. Hoping for the best for tomorrow.

Wow very good and intresting news.

I hope it is true. TOMMOROW, wow, unexpected.

i think we will see major price cuts on the imacs like we did on the prwermacs.

Hmmmmmmm, i was going to get a new tower,,,,but now i dont know. I guess that I will have to go to the apple store and take a look.

Sources report Apple's decision to lower prices is based on the current economic climate, price competition from rival Windows-based PCs and surveys taken in Apple retail stores showing customer dissatisfaction with prices. "During the Christmas buying season, we found many customers bringing in ads from competitors literally comparing system prices and features," said one unnamed source who works at an Apple retail Store. "This was reported back to corporate, and they decided this was becoming more of a factor we had to address to continue gaining 'switchers'."

As I have been saying, compete or die.

Compete or die? Pricing is not the only factor with buying... it may be a main reason just not the only factor.

Arn what are your 'people' saying, true or false?

Interesting. Can't wait to see if this comes true. It's important for Apple to regularly update it's products, and keep their latest and greatest technologies in both their consumer and pro lines. :cool:

Even before this it was worth a look.

Unless you will be doing a lot of hardcore video or sound production. Or gaming... of course :D

that doesn't make sense... why would they say that a price cut is expected but post a higher price than the current imac... hopefully it's typo

I quoted the link on Think Secret

Sorry for not being more thorough.

And I was not only referring to price. But in the era of sub $700 1.7 GHz systems from Dell... Apple has to have something to offer that is close in terms of price and performance. And a iMac G3 700 does not compete.
