New iMac colors Blue Dalmation & Flower Power = FUGLY!

[RossMAN]

Check out the new iMac colors at The Apple Store.

C|Net.com article

What's up with these funky new colors? First they ruin the iMac DV SE with a color called "snow" now they introduce dalmation and flower power?

The new 500 MHz and 600 MHz iMacs feature the IBM PowerPC 750cx processor, which, like the iBook, features 256K of on-chip L2 cache running at the same speed as the processor. Additionally, those two models also feature upgraded Rage 128 Ultra graphics with 16MB of RAM. The 400 MHz iMac, meanwhile, sports the traditional PowerPC G3 chip and the same Rage 128 Pro graphics with 8 MB of RAM as the previous iMacs.

The good news for the iMac DV SE is:
CPU bumped up to a IBM PowerPC 750cx G3/600
Internal CD-RW included
ATI Rage 128 Ultra graphics with 16MB of RAM

Why not introduce better hardware instead of worrying about colors? I'd like to see an ATI Radeon or GeForce card in the iMac.

Yes I'm an Apple supporter at heart but have faced the reality that my loaded Dell Dimension 4100/866 gives me the most bang for my buck. Go figure.

Wondering if Russ will grace my thread with a post ???

Probably never, this is only the beginning. Just wait until other PC manufacturer's dabble in colors and funky new designs.

looks like someone ate a ten pound bag of skittles and took one big dump on an imac. Hehehe crude, but very accurate I believe.

When you are selling a piece of crap, you need to distract the buyers attention from its short comings. And from the look of it most people will be too busy hurling to notice.

 

[Emulex]

the girls and girlie-mans think its cute. My gf wants one. oh boy.

 

[Azraele]

Oh my :Q

 

[phatcow]

Hahahaha. That's almost as good as my laptop! (And almost as expandable as well.) I love the hype surrounding the titanium &quot;Power&quot;book. Big deal, IBM has had titanium ThinkPads for almost a year (T20/T21 has a full titanium case, but it is covered by IBM's traditional &quot;stealth black&quot; plastic, and the A20p/A21p has a titanium cover for the screen). So what if Apple polished their titanium case, the idea is not new.

Come on people! These machines were not designed for you or I. The people they're marketed to would buy a PC that has a TNT (maybe TNT2) card in them. They're very comparable for their market.

Plenty of people think they're stylish (I'm not one of them), as can be shown by the people who own Beetles, PT Cruisers, and new Monte Carlos.

Maybe it's just me, but every time I try to read the word
&quot;dalmation&quot; my brain processes it as &quot;damnation&quot;. I think
this is probably due to &quot;damnation&quot; being a far more suitable
description for that color scheme.

 

[Bignate603]

we live in a world that's powered by technology but people will still go out and buythe &quot;cutest&quot; computer!

 

[Spawndude]

Whats that &quot;mottled&quot; colored one called?

 

[Emos]

Now if Apple would only come out with the aMac I just may have to become a Mac user!

Heh...In (cyber)space, no one can hear you scream.

 

[prodigy]

Jeez that's nasty. :disgust:

 

[KaOTiK]

Friends don't let friends use Mac's.

Kao

 

[SVTPower]

They need to concentrate on something more then colors and the OLD and tiresome to hear, &quot;Ease over PC&quot; and just get on the ball and make it happen.

 

[bigrash]

what they hell were they thinking. Who in their right mind would buy that?

 

[Plantanthera]

Sure are ugly, but MAC heads will still love them, because &quot;they are faster than x86&quot;.

I'm curently working with a MAC head, that claim his G4 is 4X faster than the fastest PC. And, I ask for evidence...he claim that tech mags &amp; MAC site have it on their web sites. This is the kind of crap that I have to put up with...morrons that call them self tech wanna be.

Maybe the color make them MACs faster :disgust:
