Apple's Intel iMac


If you've been waiting on the edge of your seat to see which Mac model would be the first to include an Intel processor, you can breathe again. The first Intel-based Mac is going to be the iMac, which will include a Core Duo processor running at 1.83 or 2.0 GHz, along with an w ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processor. Most of the other hardware specs appear unchanged from the current versions of the iMac, including 17 and 20-inch displays and built-in iSight cameras. The software bundle will include the new version of iLife unveiled at Macworld, along with Front Row. Pricing is similar to that for current-until-an-hour-ago iMacs, starting at $1,299 for a 17-inch version with a 1.83 GHz processor, 160GB hard drive and 512MB RAM. A 20-inch version with 2.0 GHz processor and a 250GB drive is $1,699.
