Apple’s done it again…. Just when it seemed like Apple was all about the iPod, Steve Jobs presented the new Intel-based Macintosh computers during Tuesday morning’s keynote presentation at the MacWorld Expo being held in San Francisco. After all the buzz, it looked like as far as the user is concerned that there was no real difference between the previous G5-based iMacs and the new Intel-based iMacs: same industrial design, same all-in-one computer-hiding-in-the-LCD monitor, same built-in iSight camera… But then they compared the relative performance differences between the two models and the Intel-based models were two to three times faster. Looking at the specs I noted that they were comparing 2.1 GHz G5s with 2.0 Intel models with the Intel chips coming out on top. My newest Mac, a one-year-old 12-inch iBook, runs with a 1.07 GHz G4 while my “older” almost four-year-old PowerMac desktop computer runs with a 933 MHz G4 chip. I can’t even imagine how much faster these new systems must be compared to my relatively old G4s. Damn. Maybe I shouldn’t have purchased two 19″ LCD monitors last month… crap. JBB
