17" and 19" inch iMacs Coming in 3Q

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-what-I'm-talking-about dept.

ikioi writes "It looks like Apple will have 17" and 19" flat panel iMacs later this year." It's funny- the publicity photos of the 15 inch macs really make it look a lot nicer then it is. I finally saw one up close a few weeks ago- the arm and screen is super smooth, but the base looks like a cheap toy. That said, larger screens for the iMac definitely push it into a new territory... not sure if it would convince me to buy one, but it sure would add magic shell to the ice cream.

    Magic Shell is nasty.

    ... it sure would add magic shell to the ice cream.

    Jeezus, Taco's been married just a month or two, and he's already into the ice cream! Pizza and hacking OUT, ice cream and Sitcoms IN!

    My God, Taco's turning into ME.

    Off topic ... but what really sings to me is the lack of a fan. Given that there's so much work/hype going in to quieter fans and water-cooling for Intel chips,etc. how come the Apple CPU's don't run as hot?

    I have a 15" CRT display at home and the viewable area is noticeably larger on the iMac's 15" LCD display.

    On the contrary, 15" CRT monitors are measured diagonally from corner to corner of the enclosure, which was the subject of a major class action lawsuit a few years back and the reason why magazines say things like "15" (13.8" viewable) monitor" these days.

    LCD monitors, on the other hand, are measured by the actual screen size: a 15" monitor is really 15" from one corner of the screen to the other. Your 15" CRT that is "noticeably larger" is probably an optical illusion; the viewable area is certainly less.

    People keep joking about tipping over, but that base is HEAVY. That seem sto be one of the biggest complaints. Shrug.
