Giz
modo had this snapshot of what is reportedly Apple's new iMac G5. It's supposed to
be released next week, but somebody got a sneak peek in an elevator at
Charles DeGaulle Airport. Looks to
be little more than a thick flat panel monitor, with the computer's
guts tucked behind the screen.
I would think that would be an easy build — just use the
basic parts from a laptop unit, wrap it with a spiffy new skin, jam in
a G5 processor and the proper cooling mechanisms, and there you have
it.
Drool.

20" iMac
11/18/2003 11:24 PMThe
20" iMac doesn't look as
ungainly as I would expect, but it's still surprising. Is there really
a market for a slow Mac with a big screen? Apple used the introduction
of the dual 1.8GHz G5 as an excuse to quietly replace its bogus SPEC
benchmarks with
something more
realistic. (But you know someone is going to say, "Why didn't they
compare against the dual 3.2GHz xw8000? It's been out for three
hours!")

12/29/2004 11:38 AMThis could be fun! Think
Secret says they know
what The Steve
will be unveiling at the January 11 Macworld Expo: a bare bones,
G4-based iMac without a display that will retail for $499.
This new product will be for a Windows user who has experienced the
iPod, the ease of use of the iTunes software, and has played around
with a Mac at an Apple retail store just long enough to know he'd buy
one if it were a little cheaper.
Code name Q88, the machine is said to be very small and designed to
either go underneath a monitor or stand upright, alongside a second
computer. The guys over at MacSlash
are hoping that it will also have a built-in KVM that will allow PC
switchers to run the iMac side-by-side with their existing PC, using
the same keyboard, mouse & monitor. That might be a little much to
hope for, but if the rest is true, that might shake things up a bit,
don't you think?

screen resolutions of up to 1680 by 1050 pixels.
The entire spec hasn't changed significantly from the 17-inch model -
1.25 GHz G4, 256Mb DDR RAM, 80Gb HD. In the UK,
you can pick one up for 1749.

snapped in an elevator at Charles de Gualle. If I weren't feeling
crappy, this would be the part where I make a joke about Apple and
unsecured AirPorts.

So how
about that new iMac, huh? There has been plenty of talk around
Internet about the new machine - set to be announced August 31 at the
Apple Expo in Paris, according to most rumors - including this
speculative design by fantasy Mac render man Isamu Sanada. All signs
are pointing to a pizza box-style unit, like the Sony VAIO W700G
all-in-one unit, but thought differently, natch. Sometimes-useful Mac
rumor site Think Secret has a long list of specs, including
information that the new G5-powered units will come in 17- and 20-inch
flavors, with the entry-level "Education" model coming in at $1,300
and without optical drive (so those pesky kids can't steal music or
install software, sources say). It all looks sort of interesting, I
suppose, but in my heart of hearts I wish that the new iMac were just
a plain white box, sans monitor, that could bring the power of G5 into
homes and schools for $1,000 a pop. I know this isn't going to happen,
but I can dream.
More details and links, including an Apple "colored chameleon case"
patent application, after the jump.

More iMac G5 Details
09/10/2004 04:53 PMWhile we’re waiting for the first round of iMac G5 reviews to
hit the net, MacMinute found
Apple’s Developer Note on the new
system. I found a few interesting tidbits amidst the technical stuff.
Available as a fully-integrated, build-to-order option, Bluetooth
is an open specification that enables short-range wireless connections
between desktop and laptop computers and a host of other peripheral
devices.
[…]
Bluetooth is available as a build-to-order option, which is
installed by Apple at the time of purchase as a fully integrated
module. Accessing the Bluetooth capabilities without purchasing the
integrated module will require a third-party dongle that may not
support all present and future features supported by the internal
module.
Translation: If you think you might want Bluetooth, and you
don’t want to use a dongle, you’ll have to pony up the
extra $50 up front, because you won’t be able to add it later.
Here’s a neat feature that might be common on Macs, but it
was new to me:
The user has the option at boot time to put the computer into a
mode of operation called Target Disk Mode (TDM).
When the iMac G5 is in Target Disk Mode and connected to another
Macintosh computer by a FireWire cable, the iMac G5 operates like a
FireWire mass storage device with the SBP-2 (Serial Bus Protocol)
standard. Target Disk Mode has two primary uses:
- high-speed data transfer between computers
- diagnosis and repair of a corrupted internal hard drive
That’s a pretty cool idea. You could debug the HD without
removing it. Of course, there have been problems in the past with OSX
actually causing corruption on external FireWire drives. I
guess they figure that they have that sorted out. There’s also a
note on the measures taken for cooling:
The iMac G5 uses an advanced system management unit (SMU) to
manage the thermal and power conditions, while keeping the acoustic
noise to a minimum.
[…]
Temperature and power consumption are monitored by the operating
system which communicates with the SMU, which in turn controls and
monitors fan operation. If Mac OS X is not booted, thermal management
must be provided by the alternate development operating system.
Note: If Mac OS X is not booted and the alternate
development operating system does not manage the fans, the fans go
into an unmanaged state and run at full speed.
