Apple’s new iMac went on sale today! These sleek new iMacs come with a brushed-aluminum shell and glass screen. The new design resembles the iPhone and replaces the mostly plastic casing previously used. Steve Jobs says the change in materials will give the computers a clearer display and a nicer appearance. The new iMacs are still a bit pricey, starting at $1,199 for a 20″ display and $1,799 for a 24,” and although still more expensive than low-end Windows PCs, Apple says they compare favorably with higher-quality PCs.
With the new iMac, Apple returns to its roots, shifting the focus from fancy gadgetry such as the iPod and iPhone. The new aluminum-and-glass look reflects the company’s emphasis on design and aesthetics. A revamped line of consumer software for the Mac used for creating home movies, Web pages and other content is intended to further distinguish Macs from rival PCs running Microsoft’s Windows operating system.
