Flat-panel iMacs in Apple's Future?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-that-be-pretty dept.

WinkyN writes: "A story on Yahoo! is claiming Apple might release a flat-panel iMac for release in early 2002. Analysts for Morgan Stanley who cover Apple say the computer manufacturer has placed orders for component parts to build such a machine (in fact, build about 100,000 of them a month). Perhaps Steve Jobs will announce this at Macworld Expo in January?"

    Why does the Slashdot community automatically tear apart everything Apple does? Would it be so hard to admit that they got it right with Firewire, got it right by popularizing USB, got it right by deleting the useless floppy drive, got it right with Quicktime, got it right with the (new) iBook and Powerbook g4, and got it DAMN right with OS X? Seriously folks, look back at all your knee-jerk reactionary posts over everything Apple and do some thinking. Point me to major innovations that have not been driven by Apple and then try using a new Mac. Have you ever USED OS X on a new Titanium? Have you ever tried to copy even 64MB over USB to a Rio, and then copied 2 GB to a firewire drive in the same time? Try using Final Cut Pro, iMovie, DVD Studio Pro... This site has become a bunch of first-post, bash-everything, small-minded jerkoffs.

    The PowerMac towers, on the other hand, range from $1699 to $3499.

    The only problem is that these prices exclude a monitor...I wish apple would include that in their prices. Apple hardware is already expensive. If those prices at least included a 15" monitor...then I'd be a MAC bitch right now. And I'll never buy an Imac, i just think that they are as ugly as hell...maybe the new ones will change all that. we'll see.

    Yes, but the $799 iMac is not even as well equipped as a comparable Intel-based machine for the same money. For $799 I'd have double the processor speed, double the hard drive capacity, and quadruple the RAM. Be realistic, ok?
