The New iMac Is Setting the Trend

While the new iMac may not be as dazzling as the original five-flavor iMacs or the flat-screen, anglepoise-lamp design that followed, this latest model is a true home entertainment personal computer.

The new iMacs come equipped with a built in iSight, there are no cables, no drivers and no settings, just fire up iChatAV and you are two clicks away from a video conference with up to three friends. Like with all things mac, video chat becomes fast and easy, and the new iMac is quite possibly the computer that will bring video conferencing into the mainstream.

Front Row also comes with all of the new models, making it easier than ever to turn the mac into a digital media center. The brilliant full screen graphics , intuitively laid out menus large text make it a snap to browse music, photos, movies from anywhere in the room with the new Apple Remote. Combine this with the iTunes Music Store from which you can now also buy music videos, podcasts, audiobooks and TV shows and you have a winning combination. Truly, the new iMac G5 was born to entertain.

Mighty mouse is also standard issue with any of the new iMacs, and apart from it and the keyboard, you won't have any cables dangling around your desktop. A pre-installed AirPort Extreme card and the internal Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) for the latest wireless devices, let you surf the web or synchronize with your mobile’s phonebook anytime, on the fly.

The 17” model only comes in one version with a 1.9GHz processor, without a built-in modem, but since the new iMac is cheaper than its predecessors, most people will not mind.
