Apple Releases iMacs, eMac Price Drop

Tuesday February 4, 2003 5:39 am PST by Arnold Kim
Apple released their new iMacs today.



Vague rumors have been circulating since before MacWorld San Francisco about updates to Apple's consumer line. Detailed rumors ($1799 17" iMac) came just a week ago. Rumor wrapup to follow.



New iMacs



$1299, 15" LCD, 800MHz, GeForce 2MX, Combo Drive

$1799, 17" LCD, DDR, 1GHz, GeForce 4MX, 4x SuperDrive



The 17" is Bluetooth-Ready and Airport Extreme Ready. CD-RW model seems to be absent, and there is also a 17" Custom Build for $2348 which includes Airport Extreme and Bluetooth.



eMac prices dropped to $999 and $1299.

Actually, the 15" is not DDR ram, it looks like the old 15". It's bluetooth is the USB adapter. (Bluetooth optional) Also, it only has the Airport and not Airport Extreme.

The 17" is DDR and has airport extreme as well as internal bluetooth. (Bluetooth ready)

That top-of-the-line model seems out of whack. Who's going to shell out 2,300+$ for a consumer machine? Granted, it's got a gig of RAM and superdrive, bluetooth and aiport extreme, but you could get a low-end powermac + 17" LCD for the same price! Dunno, seems a tad expensive... even more so than usual.

Basically the low end is one of the old range: no ddr sdram, no airport extreme, 800 mhz, geforce2 mx. That's the cheap'o model.
