Apple has quietly updated its Macintosh product line today. The iMac line is now all Merom (Core 2 Duo) based, and a new 24" model has been introduced. The iMac line now starts at USD 999 or EUR 999.01 (the cent does it) for the 17" model. The Mac Mini line receives a processor upgrade, but prices remain the same.

Yes, the Mac Mini is a little pricey, esp. when put next to the new iMacs.

Yes... I upgraded mine to the 2.0 core duo.... I would have thought maybe it would at least match up to the Macbooks.

But how about that 24" iMac!! That's pretty awesome.

I think that's kind of Apple's plan

"Look we sell really small, cool computers at a fairly reasonable price. But wait - we also sell iMacs which offer so much more in the way of features and at not that much more of a price! Aren't we amazing!"

Yet still, the Mac Mini is not Core Duo 2... which remains a disappointment.

I think that for some more buck, one should get the new 17" iMac [the full featured version].

If you are looking for a $600 computer, just build yourself a PC. That makes more sense.
