Apple closed their Apple Store for a while today. You can now check back at the Store and see a bunch of new great, amazing, remarkable, beautiful, easy to use, wonderful, very nice and incredible products. Apple introduced the new iMac with 21,5 inch and 27 inch screens and Quad-Core option. They also introduced the new Mac mini, a new white MacBook with 250 GB hard-drive, the much rumored Magic Mouse, and even a new Apple Remote.
Okay, the new iMac first:
The new iMacs now come with a 21,5 inch and 27 inch LED-based 16:9 wide screens. All models have a new edge-to-edge glass design and seamless all aluminum enclosure. The 21.5-inch model, which begins at $1,199 and carries a 1920×1080 display, offers Intel Core 2 Duo processor options running at 3.06 GHz or 3.33 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M or ATI Radeon 4670 graphics card options. Pricing on the 27-inch model begins, which carries a 2560×1440 display, begins at $1,699. In addition to the same processor options found on the smaller model, users can also select from a 2.66 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 or 2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, although machines carrying those higher-end processors will not ship until November. All models also come with a SD-slot and wireless keyboard with the new Magic Mouse.
Apple today also announced that the Mac mini, the world’s most energy efficient desktop, is now faster, offers more storage and comes standard with double the memory. Starting at $599, the entry level Mac mini features a faster 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, a 160GB hard drive, five USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics and a SuperDrive. The $799 Mac mini features a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of memory and a larger 320GB hard drive. Apple now offers a $999 Mac mini that is specially configured with Mac OS® X Snow Leopard® Server. Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server features two 500GB hard drives for a total of 1TB of server storage in the tiny 6.5-inch square by 2-inch tall Mac mini enclosure.
Another new product is the new Magic Mouse. It’s an all multi-touch mouse. Phillip Schiller said the following:
“Apple is the Multi-Touch leader, pioneering the use of this innovative technology in iPhone, iPod touch and Mac notebook trackpads,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Apple’s Multi-Touch technology allows us to offer an easy to use mouse in a simple and elegant design.”
The new mouse comes standard with the new iMacs but can be ordered separately as well for $69 and is available as of today.
Last but not least, Apple introduced a new MacBook. It has a new unibody enclosure and a LED-based screen. It now also has a multi-touch trackpad made of glass and a not-changable Apple battery that lasts 7 hours when fully charged. The cheapest model costs $999 and is available as of today.
“The new MacBook includes many of the great features found on the innovative MacBook Pro, such as an LED-backlit display, glass Multi-Touch trackpad and built-in long-life battery,” said Philip Schiller. “With the only lineup of notebooks all featuring unibody enclosures, LED-backlit displays and long-life battery technology, there’s never been a better time to switch to a Mac.”
There are a couple of smaller new products as well. You can now buy the new Time Capsules with 1 and 2 terabyte storage room. The models offer 50% better wireless performance, 25% better range and 60% faster Time Machine backups. Time Capsule 1TB costs $299 and the 2TB costs $499.
And the last new product is the Apple Remote. It now looks like a 5G iPod nano with buttons for Menu and Play and it is made of aluminum. It still costs $19 like the previous Apple Remote.
