Apple releases new desktops

Don't complain about the short blog post today. If you knew what my sleep and work schedule was like, you'd be tired too.

So here goes...

1) The Mac Mini: Core 2 Duo processor, 5 USB ports, RAM up to 320GB, 5400 RPM drive, and NVIDIA 9400M graphics.

2) The iMac: faster Core 2 Duo processor running up to 3.06GHz, NVIDIA 9400M graphics in the 20' one and NVIDI GeForce or ATI Radeon in the 24' one, 320GB , 620GB, or 1T RAM (!), and a 7200 RPM drive. Also has updated Firewire port.

3) The Mac Pro: Quad core Xeon processors (in a 4 or 8 core configuration), something called a "turbo boost" that lets the 8 core run as high as 3.33GHz bursts, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card or a ATI Radeon 4870 HD one, lets you run 4 of the GT 120 cards to drive up to something like 30" cinema displays. Nice. Oh yah, it has 4 Firewire ports.

All of them are mostly recyclable, are free of PVC and BFR, arsenic free glass on the iMac, and have an EPEAT Gold rating. They are also all available at your local Apple retails, unless something weird happened and the delivery truck took a detour to Yellowknife up in Canada or something and never returned.
