There's no huge surprises in Apple's new iMacs, but the company has made it harder to decide which model is right for you. Apple has concentrated on improving the internals rather than the external design of its new range.While the aluminium and glass design remains, internal changes bring greater performance.
The entry-level iMac is now the 20 in, 2.66 GHz configuration. The price remains at $A1999 (the old $A1599 2.4 GHz model has dropped off the list).
What's changed is that the ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics controller with 256M of RAM has been replaced by an Nvidia GeForce 9400M integrated graphics chip, the 2G of SDRAM is now the faster DDR3 instead of DDR2, and the memory is expandable to 8G rather than 4G.
But if you want the Apple Remote, it is now a $A29 optional extra.
The 24 in iMac now appears to be the mainstream model.
Configurations start at $A2499 for a 2.66 GHz CPU - a $A100 increase on the old 2.8 GHz version.
