Damn Apple!

Well, this morning I jump on the internet for my daily dose of news, and what do I see but Intel Core 2 Duo based iMacs, with up to a 24" screen.

Where's my Core 2 MacBook Pro?!?

That aside, the new iMacs look pretty sweet.

Available as a build-to-order with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo CUP, they can take up to 2GB RAM and can have a 160, 250 or 500GB hard drive factory fitted.

The 24" screen looks like it's a very nice panel, from the published specs, with a 178° viewing angle, higher brightness levels and better contrast than both the 17" and 20" panels.

Other than the graphics hardware in the 24" iMac - a GeForce 7300GT, same as in the standard Mac Pro with a CTO option of a 7600GT)

My money is on this panel making it's way into an Apple Cinema Display very soon =)

Oh, and a speed bump for the Mac mini came through as well...
