FASHIONISTAS' COMPUTER REVAMPED
As announced by Steve Jobs yesterday in a special event, the famous Apple desktop computer iMac gets a new look, a speed boost, new keyboard and... it is now cheaper than the previous version!! How major is that? (forget I ever said that).
These aluminum and glossy black beauties didn't come alone, as new and highly awaited versions of iLife and iWork were also introduced. To tell you the truth, I though these '08 revisions were kind of lazy for the price they're selling ($79), but as always they come with every new Mac so good for the next buyers.
The new design is supposed to have a more high-end feel, more pro, like it won't look so playful in an office. In fact it has now a black back.
What I see is that when the iPod became so huge, they made the new iMac look just like a computer version of the MP3 player, and now the iPhone is a world famous technology icon they've morphed again their desktop line to go with it. When I first saw it, instead of a pro look, it evoked cinema to me. It's kind of a fusion between flat TV and iMac... and iPhone. I won't be the one to say that's a bad thing.
