Star iMac Core Duo Review
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 17th Jan 2006 17:16 UTC, submitted by Tyler Too
Apple Ars reviews the Intel iMac, and concludes: "For $1299, the iMac Core Duo is a good buy. You get a 160GB SATA hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, and a 1440x900 17" LCD monitor along with a dual-core CPU. I'm always reluctant to play the cross-platform price comparison game, but I will note that this machine stacks up quite favorably in terms of price and features with Pentium D desktops. All in all, the iMac Core Duo is an impressive machine. If the rest of Apple's product line moves to Intel this smoothly, the transition should prove to be a big success."

From the article: "I took a shot at getting inside by removing the Torx screws at the bottom of the case along with memory door covering. No dice."

You need to slip a thin piece of firm, slightly bent plastic into the upper corners of the bezel to disengage the latches. After that you can pull it off and disconnect the wires. He did say that he liked his warranty, though.
