Intel Macs
They're updating the site as I write this, so they must have just released them!

Wow. That looks fantastic. Visually very similar to the old Powerbook G4. I wonder if there'll be a new desktop Intel-based Mac released at the same time? My iBook and this Toshiba laptop will be on eBay before the weekend :-)

Whenever I see a new Apple product, it blows me away. A new Amiga-related product hasn't had the power to do that in 20 years and never will again.

The Dual Core Intel iMacs are now on the page with both a 17" and 20" monitor choice. $1299 and $1699 respectively.

Where's my checkbook?

I'll post it to you when I'm done with it. Could you just remind me what your signature looks like? :-P

What does a computer with an Intel processor running MacOS X have to do with Bill Gates?

I doubt Apple would have switched to Intel if they thought they would be effectively giving money to Microsoft. They are, after all, Apple's biggest competitor.

I can't really see much exiting here. I'm not particularly keen on MacOS and would rather use Windows if I had to go X86.

The PPC970 or "G5" was exiting because it was new. Dual core X86 has been around since last summer. Still Apple are a marketing company so they should have the relevant press going completely wild. Some you are already.

@motorollin

If it wasn't for Microsoft's investment in Apple they'd have probably been pushing up the daisys years ago.

By the way, due to a certain MS patent Apple's Ipod is already making MS a mint.
