That's up from the previous entry-level model with a 20-inch screen, 2.66GHz chip, 2 GB of memory, and 320 GB of storage. The price, however, remains the same: US$1,199, AU$1,599. The other end of the iMac line now comes with a 27-inch screen, up from the previous 24 inches. The top model as of today features a 3.06GHz chip, 4 GB of RAM, and a 1.0TB hard drive -- the same specs as the top-of-the-line 24-inch model yesterday. But in addition to a larger screen, the top iMac has also seen a dramatic price drop. That 27-inch model lists for US$1,699 and AU$2,199 -- in the U.S., that's $500 cheaper than the 24-inch model sold for. If you can wait for November, you'll be able to get get a 27-inch model with a 2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 chip -- same memory and storage. That will sell for US$1,999, AU$2,599.

US$1,499 used to buy a 24-inch model with a 2.66GHz chip, 4 GB of memory, and a 640GB hard drive.
