Designed to be the digital centerpiece of your home and the
fastest way to the Internet, the new iMac family comes with a choice of
three flat-panel displays — including an amazing new 20-inch widescreen
display that can show more than two full pages of text and graphics
side by side. And the 20-inch screen adjusts just as easily as you’d
expect from an iMac. The new iMac offers fast G4 processors, speedy
333MHz DDR memory, blazing 3D graphics, FireWire 400 and high-speed USB
2.0. Plus the latest in wireless communications with support for
AirPort Extreme and optional built-in Bluetooth. The iMac dazzles with its brilliant 20-inch widescreen, 17-inch widescreen and 15-inch flat-panel displays that adjust their height or angle with just a touch. The 20-inch display has a high resolution of 1680 by 1050 — more than 1.7 million pixels — making it ideal for editing video, displaying digital photos, enjoying games, browsing the web or just writing letters. The 20-inch widescreen display provides 124% more viewable screen area than a 15-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels, and 36% more viewable screen area than the 17-inch flat panel LCD display with a resolution of 1440 by 900 pixels.Inside story Inside the 20-inch and 17-inch iMac you get a 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 Processor with Velocity Engine, 256MB of PC2700 (333MHz) Double Data Rate SDRAM main memory (expandable up to 1GB), a SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics with 64MB of DDR SDRAM, and an Ultra-ATA/100 80GB hard disk that dishes out data at 7200 rpm.

Suddenly, it all connects.The iLife software application suite that come on your new iMac include iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD. They let you do fun, creative things with your pictures, music and movies — and share them with family and friends — in ways that people who use PCs can only dream about. And whether you’re creating music CDs, publishing your digital pictures online, editing digital video or burning your own DVDs, you can do all these things and more quite nicely without referring to a manual. It’s all part of the iLife experience.
 Say goodbye to being forced to set up your computer near a phone jack. Pop an AirPort Extreme Card into your iMac, and you’re ready for the freedom of wireless networking from anywhere in your home or dorm — up to 150 feet from an AirPort Extreme Base Station. And, by the way, adding an AirPort Extreme Card is a snap, even for first-time computer users. Beneath the iMac’s base is an access cover held in place by four screws. Images printed under the access cover show you how additional memory and the AirPort Extreme Card fit in the base when properly installed. It’s that simple. Sync with BluetoothAll iMac models can be custom-configured with an internal Bluetooth module to connect your digital devices wirelessly. Operating within a 30-foot radius, it enables wireless data transfers between a rapidly growing list of Bluetooth-enabled products, including the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse. Using iSync, you can use Bluetooth to synchronize your personal information between your iMac, your mobile phone and your Palm OS-based handheld. If you’re interested in getting Bluetooth capability for your iMac, the easiest way is to have the Bluetooth module built in at the time you order your system — you can order a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mouse at the same time, too. If you decide after purchasing your system that you want Bluetooth capability, you can easily plug in an external D-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter. Extreme graphics  The iMac’s sizzling graphics processors kick Quartz Extreme and 3D games and graphics into high gear with hardware transform and lighting (T&L), per-pixel shading and drop-dead gorgeous effects at high resolutions. All models deliver over a billion textured pixels per second. And the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra in the 17-inch and 20-inch models delivers even more 3D graphics firepower with an advanced Live FX engine engineered to generate the most lifelike characters. And with Quartz Extreme, the graphics processors take over the transform and lighting calculation functions from the iMac’s CPU, freeing the PowerPC G4 processor to perform essential system tasks faster than ever before. Nifty space-saving
designThanks to what’s inside its ultra-compact 10.6-inch base, the iMac is several leaps ahead of any other consumer desktop system out there — just like its revolutionary predecessor. So how did we pack so much power and functionality into such a small space? Credit a rigorous design approach that optimized every available bit of space and resulted in no wasted corners. Starting with a custom-designed circular logic board that fills the entire diameter of the base, we engineered enough space to fit in a full-height optical drive such as the SuperDrive. On top of the optical drive are a high-capacity hard disk drive and even the power supply — a split design that tucks neatly into the top of the base. |
