Apple to cease production of 17″ iMac

Tuesday, May. 22 2007 | Author: Griffith

According to Think Secret, the iMac’s revision, which will supposedly come in June will spell the end of the 17″ version of the very popular computer line. The refreshed lineup, will only include 20″ or 24″ versions”.

Right now the price difference between the 17″ and 20″ displays is almost negligible right now, and from a logistic point of view, only having two models would help Apple keep track of fewer parts a bit better.

For similar reasons, Apple is also expected switch from it’s 23″ cinema display for a 24″ one, which supposedly, will have the same panel as the iMac.

I hope that the rumored iMac redesign is similar to the “classic” iMac G4. What would you like the new iMac to look like?

Then again, it is Apple after all, so they probably have some nifty trick up their sleeves.

UGH, no way that you’re getting my vote on the iMac G4-look.

The redesign should simply make the most recent design slimmer and almost completely remove the “chin”, and maybe they should make it in aluminium, black or white anodized aluminium. Can you have white anodized aluminium?!
