Apple today unveiled the new iMac featuring Mac OS X running on the new Intel Core Duo processor, delivering performance that is up to twice that of its predecessor.
The widely praised iMac design now features dual-core processors, a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing out-of-the-box, and the media experience of Front Row.
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO said,
"The iMac has already been praised as 'the gold standard of desktop PCs', so we hope customers really love the new iMac, which is up to twice as fast. With Mac OS X plus Intel's latest dual-core processor under the hood, the new iMac delivers performance that will knock our customers' socks off."
The new iMac comes standard with a DVD writer, 512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory (expandable to 2GB), hard drive storage capacity up to 500GB, and ATI Radeon X1600 PCI Express-based graphics with 128MB of GDDR3 memory. The new iMac also includes built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, built-in AirPort Extreme for 54Mbps wireless networking, built-in Bluetooth 2, a total of five USB ports and two FireWire 400 ports.
The new iMac is shipping today and will be available through the Apple Store from $1,299.
