Engadget is reporting that an Apple eMac G5 may be on the horizon. eMacs still use G4 processors whereas Apple’s other desktop machines – the iMac and the PowerMac – both have G5s. Quite what it will look like remains to be seen.
The current eMac G4 currently sells for a little over £500 for students (or £550 for normal people) and includes a 40GB HD, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, 32MB ATi graphics and 256MB of RAM, along with a 17″ screen. If Apple create a better machine and sell it for a similar price, I’d certainly consider it. Unfortunately, ‘consider’ may be the operative word here as there really isn’t enough space in my room for another computer. I could get an iBook but they’re quite a bit more expensive, unfortunately.
And yes, my iPod Mini is corrupting my mind with pro-Appleness. But then if using OS X is like using an iPod then I’m sold.
