Apple Introduces New G5 iMac

The half-dome base is gone, and the iMac G5 is iPod-white in colour. This is my first impression of Apple's redesigned iMac. The new iMac G5 desktop tucks all of its components, including its hard drive, processor and DVD drive, behind a wide-screen LCD (liquid-crystal display). The LCD screen is about 5cm (2 inches) thick and is mounted on a curved metal stand, has proportions similar to those of Apple's Cinema Display flat panels.
