Apple Clearing Out 20'' G5 iMacs

Tuesday January 31, 2006 6:04 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Apple met with resellers today and dropped prices on the remaining 20" G5 iMacs. Apple's own store now sells the 20" at $1499, down from $1699. According to reseller reports, there is little stock left remaining of the 17" and 20" iMacs so prices are "While Supplies Last".

Meanwhile, stocks of the remaining G4 PowerBooks are also reportedly limited, though their prices have remained the same at this time.

Another tidbits revealed to resellers, AppleWorks no longer comes with the iMac with no plans of a universal version.

Anandtech posts a review and comparison of the new Intel iMac compared to the G5 iMac.

One has to wonder when the 15 inch powerbook will start getting dicounted, $300 of that and it would be a steal:)

It's about time...

Apple must have been waiting to see if they could sell them at full price. - (I guess they couldn't)

i kinda had a feeling this was comin, when they started phasing out the 15 inch powerbooks i just had a feeling the imac was doomed to go as well. Realistically it is a good move for apple. It cuts down on the number of models to keep track of, Clears out the warehouses. Also, we have to remember that the imac is a consumer oriented computer and that all the apps a consumer would use have already been universalized. Office doesnt command outstanding system resources so it will be fine in rosetta. For those who need them, pro apps will be universal soon enough.

Did anyone read the anandtech articlet? It states the following:

Luckily, OS X's processor panel provides a quick and easy way to disable one of the cores in the Core Duo machine so we've got a way of finding out. With one core disabled, I added the non-existant iMac Core Solo 1.83GHz to the graph:


Does this mean that we can turn off a core in the new MBP and get better battery life?

I am quite surprised that the 17" wasn't dropped $ wise. My guess is that along with the excuses given they are also low on supply and so dont want to generate too much interest in them. Obviously 20" is in over supply.

Now, what does this mean for the Mac Mini when it gets an intel? How low can they go?
