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.
Apple eMac G5?

Well, if you want, you can send me one of the computers in your room so you can get your eMac. =)
By the way, there is nothing wrong with being Pro-Apple, so long as you aren’t a fanboy*.
