INTRODUCING THE NEW 1GHZ 17-INCH MAC
The new iMac dazzles with its brilliant 17-inch widescreen flat-panel display that adjusts its height or angle with just a touch. But what’s more amazing is its compact base now packs powerful new features like a speedy 1GHz G4 processor, more extreme NVIDIA graphics, a faster DVD-burning SuperDrive — and new advanced wireless options.
New on the inside
Inside the new 17-inch iMac, you get the 1GHz PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine, 256MB of PC2100 (266MHz) Double Data Rate (DDR) main memory (expandable to 1GB), GeForce4 MX graphics with 64MB of DDR graphics memory and an Ultra-ATA/100 80GB hard disk spinning at 7200 rpm. You also get AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth wireless capability, and the best-of-breed digital lifestyle applications that have convinced so many PC users to switch to the Mac platform.
iLife. Suddenly, it all connects.
The iLife software applications that come on your new iMac include iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD (SuperDrive-equipped model only). They let you do fun, creative things with your pictures, music and movies — and share them with family and friends — in ways that PC users can only dream about. And whether you’re creating your own music CDs, publishing your digital pictures online, editing digital video, or authoring DVDs, you can do all these things and more quite nicely without thumbing through a manual. It’s all part of the iLife experience.
The legendary SuperDrive burns faster
The iMac with SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) lets you burn your own movies and photos on a DVD disc that plays in almost any standard DVD player. Even better, the SuperDrive now burns DVDs at 4x speed, twice as fast as before. And of course you can pop in your DVD movies and watch them in widescreen letterbox format on the brilliant LCD display of your 17-inch iMac.
54 Mbps AirPort Extreme — up to 5 times faster
Say goodbye to having to set up your computer near a phone. Pop the new AirPort Extreme Card into your 17-inch iMac, and you’re ready for wireless networking from anywhere in your home or dorm — up to 150 feet from an AirPort Extreme Base Station. The 15-inch iMac has a built-in slot for the 11 Mbps AirPort Card. And by the way, adding an AirPort or 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 memory and the AirPort Extreme Card (17-inch model) or AirPort Card (15-inch model) fit in the base when properly installed. It’s that simple.
Sync with Bluetooth
The 17-inch iMac can be custom-configured with an internal Bluetooth module to connect your digital devices wirelessly (15-inch iMacs can use an external USB Bluetooth adapter). Operating within a 30-foot radius, it enables wireless data transfers between a rapidly growing list of Bluetooth-enabled products. Using iSync, for instance, you can use Bluetooth to synchronize your personal information between your iMac, your mobile phone and your Palm OS-based handheld. Interested in getting Bluetooth capability for your 17-inch iMac? The easiest way is to have the Bluetooth module built in at the time you order your system. If you decide after purchase that you want Bluetooth capability, you can easily plug in an external USB Bluetooth adapter.
More extreme graphics
The 17-inch iMac has an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics processor with 64MB of DDR RAM. The 15-inch iMac ships with the NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics processor with 32MB of graphics memory. These 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. The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX, for instance, delivers 1.1 billion textured pixels per second. And since the graphics processors feature dedicated RAM — unlike some PC graphics cards that share main memory — they take over the transform and lighting calculation functions from the iMac’s central processing unit (CPU), freeing the PowerPC G4 to perform essential system tasks faster than ever before.
Nifty space-saving design
Thanks to what’s inside its ultra-compact 10.6-inch base, the new 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 3.5-inch hard disk drive and even the power supply — a split design that tucks neatly into the top of the base.
Speakers of the house
Both iMac models come with Apple Pro Speakers that handle 18 watts of undistorted digital sound. And since the iMac also provides power to the speakers, you don’t need an additional power brick. The result? Reduced cable clutter. Both models feature an internal speaker, internal tripath digital amplifier, Apple Pro Speaker jack and headphone jack (the 17-inch model additionally has an audio line-in jack that lets you use it as a sound editing studio). The bottom line is that you get to enjoy an incredible aural experience.
Two beautiful models
Starting from just $1299, the new iMac comes in your a choice of two models: the new 1GHz iMac with a 17-inch widescreen display, 80GB hard disk and 4x SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW), or the 800MHz iMac with a 15-inch display, 60GB hard disk and 32x Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW).
