two models.

20" and 24" Both Glossy displays (Don't know what to think of this)

Aluminum and Glass.

That's all I got right now.

This will eventually capture everything.

Keyboard leak was the real deal.

[Wyatt]

Well, it looks nice, but I'm not thrilled about glossy being the only display option. It's crazy freakin' thin, too. And, yes, the keyboard was legit.

No, it wasn't. Damn, this is a serious machine. *drool*

Oh, yeah. It's available today.

[SpecMode]

Up to 2.4GHz Core 2 Extreme (!) CPU, Radeon HD GPU, up to 4GB of RAM, up to 1TB HDD. Niiiiiice.

(Darn you cut/paste monkeys! Darn you, I say!)

I can't parse that.

"glossy only"

they have to be kidding! so much money in the bank and they don't even care to offer a non-glossy option... i am seriously pissed

[Windowsrookie]

Black Back.

[Unch]

Wow, that was a fast announcement. Where's the foreplay Steve?

[kieran]

I needed a visual too.

Maybe that *was* the foreplay. Maybe he's saving something amazing for the end. Apple events are like porno -- everybody's just there for the money shot.

He's moving on to software now. New iLife, perhaps?

[edit] Yep, they're replacing one of the iLife apps...

[neiltc13]

What the hell is a Radeon HD?

Why aren't they just using the nVidia Geforce 8600 from the MBP? That's about the best mobile chip out there right now which doesn't kill the bank manager.

[kieran]

So, I guess this means that Apple is going away from visually seperating the Pro and Consumer lines? No more white for consumer?

I guess that's good, a unified product line, but i liked the white.

seems like it and i am also kind of missing it. in my opinion the old nanos looked nicer than the newer ones

[neiltc13]

That black border around the display might be necessary but it sure as hell looks silly!

[iDaver]

Glossy displays?

[adamb]

If this is the warm up Im betting on the release of the 'headless iMac'

[kieran]

I just noticed that these have FireWire 800 on them too. Wasn't that a Pro-only thing before?

And, who changed my title? The date's wrong.

There was FireWire 800 on the 24" iMac already.

[SpecMode]

Looks like I'll be making a trip to the Apple Store today to check these out. Hopefully they'll put them out on display...

[datapusher]

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME CAN I DO WITH A 1TB HD? I'LL NEVER CLEAN MY CACHE AGAIN!!!!



"they're off to take me away, hee hee"

[Banana]

I'm really wondering about glossy display.

Did they do a marketing research and found that lot more people prefer glossy over matte?

Could there be a dichotomy between geeks and regular users; that is, regular users prefer glossy, and since they outnumber nerds (e.g. us), they trump?

[kieran]

That keyboard is reallllyyy thin.

Just wanted to post some pictures.

[datapusher]

steve is really steamrolling through this presentation.

best computer...ever...

[Banana]

I hope the new keyboard will be actually easy to clean...

Also is it good thing to have keyboard so low? Doesn't it put more strain if you have to lower your hands too much?

Fine by me. I have a meeting at 2 (eastern), so I'll be happy if he finishes around 1:45.

Of course, I'd also be happy if it went until 8 PM because there was just so freakin' much he couldn't get it all into an hour.

[PB PM]

Question is, high or low gloss, could make all the difference in the world.

[rasmits]

Wow that's thin.
