I want two please, make mine 24" with all the trimmings!
Although the white, thin-profile iMac form factor has had a long and venerable run since its introduction as the iMac G5, many felt it was time for a change. In the weeks leading up to the unveiling of the new iMac, the Applesphere twittered with rumors of aluminum enclosures, Santa Rosa chipsets, and the death of the 17" iMac.
Most of the iMac speculation turned out to be right on. The 17" iMac is no more, with the product line streamlined into two 20" models and a single 24" behemoth. Gone is the matte display, too: the new iMacs have a glossy display—and come with a black cloth to keep the extremely-reflective display smudge free.
Apple kept the same form factor but drastically revamped the look. The sleek white look has been replaced with anodized aluminum, and there is now a black bezel around the display—which is now under glass. The Apple logo on the chin of the iMac is now black. It's very different, and after two years of having a white iMac G5 or iMac Core 2 Duo in our kitchen, the anodized aluminum iMac is going to take some getting used to.
