thats one slick system. the one and only reason why i dont by macs is because you pay up the wazoo for a decent video card. other than that, thats a sweet looking system.

As usual you pay for the slick design, nearly twice as much as a comparable PC.
Here is what you get for $1,749.00 17-inch widescreen LCD 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 512K L2 cache 533MHz frontside bus 256MB DDR400 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR video memory 80GB Serial ATA hard drive Slot-load Combo Drive

I liked the look of the last iMac better, although this one ain't to bad and it's a screamer of a system in comparion. Only wish they gave you more options for a video card, although everything else looks awesome!
EDIT: I was debating which system I was gonna likely get for college down the road, and I must say with these advancments Apple has been making I hopefully get to pick up one of their Laptops!

"Modern living starts at $1749."
I think I could live without it. Although I'm curious as to why Apple jumped prices on everytinhg (iPod $429!?!?!, Mini for $349!!?!) I know they dominate the market, but now its just greed. Apple's are supposed to be better at Multimedia proggies than PC's for some reason, So I may have to drop serious cash on one in a bit (Music Major, plan to carry this on in College)...

Apples are really sweet looking. Professors at the university I work at pretty much get whatever computers they want, by the look of them, and some of them have some really great apples.
Style points: 9 But as always, they're not as customizable, and you pay a lot more for style, and so on.... Efficiency points: 3 Therefore I go with PC. |

They may in the past have been more ideal for multimedia stuff, but i believe a current PC could do just as well as a Mac, and has software just as good for multimedia stuff.
I do video editing at my church on a mac, and it works great, but its nothing that a PC couldnt do just as well. it all seems to just be hype now. |

That is one nice looking computer. However it doesn't play many games and it is not very upgradable. Not to mention the price. Therefore I will stick with my home-built PC's.
BTW, A Ferrari will most definetly outperform a Toyota. There is no question. A Ferrari is a complete performance car and no Toyota could ever dream of beating one.

Well, maybe a Toyota Supra with a T88 Single Turbo upgrade and slicks
I like the new design, though I much prefer tower models as they are expandable as much as a comprable PC. |

That's 1749CDN I believe.
The only reason I will consider a Mac for my next purchase is my heavy involvement in music - an industry where everyone and their uncle uses Macintosh. |
