I don't mean to be a mac freak, but...

Apple updated their online store last night, and I was in for a big surprise this morning when I checked if it was back online.

I've been thinking recently about buying an iMac just before I head off to University at the end of next year, and I'd decided to buy the poster-boy machine (y'know, the all-in-one slim white design). But I figured I'd wait until Apple released the latest operating system, OSX 10.5, Leopard (all their OS's have been named after big cats. The current OS is called Tiger), so that I wouldn't have to spend extra cash after I'd bought my mac updating to the latest OS.

I keep checking back on the online store to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings, but this morning I found that Apple had sneakily released a brand new iMac design overnight, all ready in the store without any prior press coverage. There were barely even rumours regarding a new design for their icon machine floating around the net, let alone any actual mention from Apple.
It's faithful to the previous iMac designs in that it's another all-in-one machine. The screens come in sizes of 20" and 24" inch with no sign of a 17" inch monitor, as with the previous design, they come with a built-in iSight camera for use in chat programs and video conferencing and they include all the latest wireless technology and bluetooth.

It's an improvement in every way on the previous design, in terms of specs (with options to upgrade) and design. And the previous iMacs were, in my opinion, difficult to improve upon. On top of all of this, it's cheaper than the previous iMac aswell. Oh, and more enviromentally friendly. How about that then? I'm just waiting for the Leopard release.
