Quite a slew of new things from Apple. Now the minimal display on the iMac is 20 inches, hence the title, but it has the same spiffy metallic finish as the Pro and MacBook Pro. Personally, I prefer the plastic and I really miss colors or patterns. On the other hand, if this can make the iMac thinner, then it’s a worthy improvement, especially when the 24-inch top dog model is $200 cheaper than its predecessor.
The Mac Mini received another boost contrary to all the rumors. The top-end Mini is definitely on my wish list to become Picayune‘s future host.
It wasn’t all hardware though. The iLife bundle was updated, iWork software and .Mac account holders received a boost in space by a factor of 10 which definitely makes my 1GB USB sticks impractical. The changes in iLife I have yet to assess but the listed specifications make the case to ditch my PowerPC-based G4 soon.
