Ars Technica Reviews Intel iMacs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here-we-go-again dept.

Milton Waddams writes "Ars kick off what I'm sure will be a torrent of reviews of the of the new Intel iMac. Overall it looks like it's a bit faster than the iMac G5 and a bit slower than the PowerMac G5 dual core. I'm sure it will surprise many slashdotters to find out that Jobs' statements about the new iMac being twice as fast as the iMac G5 as being slightly over optimistic. AND it doesn't run Windows...yet..." I'm still waiting for the most important benchmark: frames per second in molten core combat.

    4) Sprouts set of cybernetic insectoid legs and scutters away when threatened
    5) Perfectly matches the iBlouse
    6) Screen is flat, which is good for some reason
    7) Special drool tray catches saliva from enthralled technogeeks
    8) Communications directly with human pineal gland by firing information-rich beam of pink light

    He just momentarily bends reality to his will.

    Of course the second generation of Intel Macs are going to bet better than this generation. The third generation will be better than the second. Maybe you should wait for them instead...
