			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As expected, Apple today took the wraps off their new <a href="http://www.apple.com/imac">iMac models</a>, and boy do they look slick. The new models will come in 20-inch and 24-inch versions, and will offer all of the capabilities that you&#8217;d want in an all-in-one computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/new_imac.jpg" alt="new imac"  title="new imac photo" /></p>
<p>The new models&#8217; industrial design is a beautiful combination of aluminum and glass, making them look more like Apple&#8217;s gorgeous Cinema displays that past versions of the iMac. All models come with a slot-loading SuperDrive, and a built-in iSight camera too. You&#8217;ll also be able to easily upgrade RAM up to 4GB, or up to 1TB of disk.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re loaded with just about every connection you could need: USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, and mini-DVI for video. There&#8217;s also built in 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/new_imac_keyboard.jpg" alt="new imac keyboard"  title="new imac keyboard photo" /></p>
<p>Apple also showed off a cool <a href="http://www.apple.com/keyboard/">new keyboard design</a> that includes direct access to media control features and screen brightness/dimming too. The new keyboard measures in at a ridiculously svelte 0.33&#8243; thick, more than 60% slimmer than old models. I&#8217;m am a bit concerned about the Chiclet-like ergonomics of the new keys though. There&#8217;s an optional Bluetooth wireless version available too (without the numeric keys, though.)</p>
<p>Base configurations of the aluminum iMacs are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><u>$1199 configuration:</u> 20-inch widescreen (1680&#215;1050), 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 250GB SATA Hard Drive, Radeon HD 2400 XT Graphics, 8X SuperDrive</li>
<li><u>$1499 configuration:</u> 20-inch widescreen  (1680&#215;1050), 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 320GB SATA Hard Drive, Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics, 8X SuperDrive</li>
<li><u>$1799 configuration:</u> 24-inch widescreen  (1900&#215;1200), 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 320GB SATA Hard Drive, Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics, 8X SuperDrive</li>
</ul>
<p>All the new iMac models are available immediately, and should be on the <a href="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore">Apple Store</a> shortly.</p>
