New eMac Tomorrow?

Monday October 4, 2004 6:58 pm PDT by mudbug
An anonymous submission from Italy reports that resellers are expecting revised versions of the eMac tomorrow. There's not much more to go on than that, but the machine is now 174 days from its last revision, with the previous revision happening 179 days from its predecessor. The machine is said to keep the CRT monitor, as opposed to moving to a flat panel LCD.[Update] Speculation from AppleInsider, October 12, 2004.

honestly I don't know whether to believe this or not - resellers usually find out everything last in the overall chain, but rumors about the eMac have been really silent lately.

A move to a 1.5 GHz G4 would be a nice upgrade assuming they will stay at the same price they are now. I still think the eMac is the most underrated and under appreciated Mac there is. My Mom got one (her first ever Mac) a few months ago and she loves it. She was getting so paranoid with the Windows security issues that she was afraid to even go online anymore, but not now that she has a Mac.

My guesses:


Combo

1.5 GHz G4
40 GB hard drive (yeah, yeah - it's cheap)
64 MB Radeon 9200
$799... or $699!


Superdrive

1.5 GHz G4
80 GB hard drive
64 MB Radeon 9200
$999 (or $899 if the Combo is $699)


Sound okay? :) I could see Apple keeping a 32 MB video chipset, but if so then I'd expect them to either provide a larger hard drive in the Combo or else lower the price.

Sounds right. Maybe we should ask the guy who correctly guessed the last eMac revision? :D

I personally think they should sell the old iMac as the new eMac. Afterall, the emac adopted the old iMac design, why not do the same now?

if i remember correctly he worked at an apple store and "stumbled" across them the day before they were released.

Totally, I remember that. I wish he would reveal how he did it...Anyway, this COULD be interesting...But I would say there is only a 31% chance of this taking place.
