(Based on manufacturer's information)Cast your gaze on the ultimate eye-opening experience: the faster, bigger, and brighter iMacs. At an affordable price, the most personal of personal computers comes out packing a powerful punch. That's thanks to the 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor, you'll find in this iMac.
All in the family
The fastest iMac ever, the 24-inch iMac provides professional performance along with the convenience of an all-in-one design. Like its 17-inch and 20-inch siblings, it features the 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor with speeds ranging from 1.83GHz to 2.33GHz. The new processor delivers up to 50% more performance than the previous 20-inch iMac. It also doubles the amount of L2 cache, the twin cores sharing 4MB between them. The result? Turbocharged performance, making it easier - and more fun - than ever to work with digital photos, movies, music, and the web.
Dazzling Displays
Whether you're surfing the web, editing video, managing photos, or enjoying face-time with far-flung friends, you'll thoroughly enjoy the lush visual experience of working on iMac. With excellent color saturation, this model features a cinematic 16:10 wide aspect ratio that's perfect for watching movies. And iMac delivers a beautifully bright display with the 24-inch model lighting the way. In fact, it's a full 40% brighter than the 20-inch model.
It's a wonderful iLife
iMac comes with iLife '06, a suite of easy-to-use applications that make the spectacular a regular part of your everyday life. Enhance, organize and share your photos via iPhoto. Make an epic starring your kid in iMovie. Turn your photo and movie creations into professional DVDs with iDVD. Create original music in GarageBand, even if you can't carry a tune. Make podcasts and blogs. Then publish them online via your .Mac account and the all-new iWeb.
The ultimate see and say
There's an iSight camera built into every new iMac, so you can start a video chat (or join one) at a moment's notice. There's nothing extra to buy (except for an optional adapter), nothing to attach, no cords to fumble with, no software to install or configure. Simply start up iChat AV, click your buddy's video icon and you're ready to chat with sight and sound - with up to three friends at once. Proper attire suggested.
Now showing
With iMac, you've got the best seat in the house. The full-screen Front Row media experience - with its intuitive menus, large text and brilliant graphics - lets you browse the music, photos, and videos on your iMac as easily as you browse music on your iPod. And the Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your vacation pics, a home movie or a DVD. iMac was born to entertain.
Note: Many previously-owned applications are not supported to run on Intel-based Macs with Rosetta. Check with your software manufacturer to see when the Universal version will be available and at what upgrade cost. For more information, check Apple Rosetta at http://www.apple.com/rosetta/
