Updated eMac Line Released Today

Posted by pudge on from the mmmmm-emac dept.

TellarHK writes "Today, Apple's eMac line got a nice upgrade with all models getting a 32M Radeon 7500 video chipset, display capable of 1280x960 resolution on a 17" flat CRT, and price cuts across the board. $799 will get you a base model with 40GB of drive, 128M of RAM (continuing the rather odd stinginess on RAM configurations), and an 800Mhz G4. $999 will get you an extra 20GB of drive and a 1Ghz processor, while $1299 lands you a whopping (ahem) 256M of memory, 80G, and a SuperDrive at 4x."

    You know, I was all set to go, "Aw, man, they're screwing the low-end customer! I should have the option of buying the cheaper, old-style AirPort if I want to, to save money!" Then, just one a whim, I went to the Store and checked.

    AirPort Extreme costs exactly the same as AirPort did.

    Bastards. Taking away my sense of righteous indignation like that.

    Apple used to be the company that I loved to hate. But for the last couple of years, it's been harder and harder to hate them. With this new Music Store thing, I'm starting to think that maybe I hate to hate Apple.

    Which means I'm starting to love Apple.

    Augh! Somebody hose me down, quick!
