New 24″ iMac! Yeow!
I’ve been hearing about a new, super-big iMac coming out, but nobody said anything about a 24-inch model!
That’s one big, honkin’ screen, and it just so happens to be clearly viewable from any angle, comes with a remote control, has MUCH better graphics hardware than the smaller models, and easily supports full, 1080p High-Definition video. It doesn’t get any better than that, unless we start seeing some 42-inch iMacs sometime soon… One of those would fit RIGHT BETWEEN the two antique hammered-copper sconces that came with my 1918 Craftsman-Style Bungalow.
Multi-media center, anybody?
Nowadays, there are TV-tuners for the Mac that are very well-reviewed. However, there are no real standards for accessing live TV signals using Apple’s existing hardware and built-in Front Row software. I’m hoping that the Apple’s big “It’s Showtime!” event in San Francisco in six days will add more pieces to the TV-signal puzzle.
If they do, then your new 24″ iMac would definitely prefer to have the optional 500-gigabyte internal hard drive inside, to store your favorite shows just like a Tivo…
