Sub $1000 Apple Device?

Amidst the flurry and disbelief of the 20" iMac rumors on Monday... one small rumor slipped through without being addressed.



The original ThinkSecret report contained a small blurb about a sub $1000 device:



    One source also said that another product is in the pipeline for future announcement in the sub-$1000 range, and were seeking further details.



The blurb was since removed, presumably awaiting further details... but Appleinsider also posted information they had available about the 20" iMacs and Dual 1.8GHz PowerMac and also referenced a third "mystery" product priced at $749 USD.



The identity of the 3rd product remains unknown, but speculation suggests the possibility of long-awaited Apple Display updates. No time-frame is available on the introduction of this next product.

Rather than a display with no computer update, I think I'll hope for a computer with no display in this price range. Headless consumer Mac...

Cube anyone?

At that price it'll be a G4. And I certainly don't object to that.

For those who are looking to switch (upgrade :) ) to a mac, a $749 G4 cube would certainly fit the bill.

Shoot, for that price I could probably even talk my parents into one. A nice, solid machine at a great price.

sweet.

Please! It would be the perfect entry model for lot's of switchers. And, if it's the Cube design - I'm going to get one myself :D

But if it's a cube with say 1.25 Ghz G4, 2 ram-slots, 80 GB HD, FW400 + USB2 a price around 599-699 would be more appropriate - don't you thing :rolleyes:

A PDA perhaps? Newton II!

(I have no idea what things cost in $US, I might be right off the mark.)

Would be nice to see a desktop version of the Fibre Channel RAID using off-the-shelf SATA drives.

I don't belief that this is about the displays because it should be three products then and not sub $1000. Don't think that only the 17" display is updated and the others not.

Looking forward to a cube G4 1,25GHz.

Hmmm...$749. It's probably just a 256MB upgrade kit for the PowerBooks *boom tish!*

It´s the second coming of the Newton
*runs, dodges, rolls and hides*

Well, looking at other rumors and thinking about the 20th anniversary of the Mac AND considering the possible return of the cube, I would say:
it´s a 60 GB iPod :rolleyes:
