17" iMacs? 17" iMacs! Speculate away!
Thinksecret says yes, so what do you think?
I'm thinking 1280x1024, the basic format for a 17" flat panel. After all, there current 17" has these specs.
It would be NICE to see a 4:3 widescreen, though. Maybe the same as the TiBook: 1280x854. Certainly would look different (and I say better) that way.
Finally, as for the insides, I think we are going to see the 1 GHz iMac.
If I had to guess, I'd say:
15" CDROM, 15" Superdrive, 17" Combo, and 17" Superdrive with speeds fromm 800 MHz - 1 GHz.

Four separate models differentiated by screen size and optical drive would be perfect.
Would these 17" iMacs introduce a 133 MHz bus and GeForce4 MX graphics? I hope so. :cool:
The small size of the screen on the iMac (15") is all that's keeping me from considering it. At 17", I think maybe, yes.

Oxymoron?
ps.. dePlume is fulllllllll of it. 100% of everything he posted in that article was pulled directly out of his dung-hole.
17" iMac would be cool though...

I meant 3:2. One day, I'll actually proofread something before I post it.

Sorry: I didn't read the cnet article, this is the same article, just on MSNBC.

It makes perfect sense. Apple seeds the G5 rumors before MWSF, then all the rumor mongers expectations are totally deflated. They don't want to hear anything else about G5s because they got burned so bad. So this time, Apple seeds lots of rumors, ranging from 1.2 GHz G4s to nothing at all for the Powermacs, when in reality, all this time, they've been putting the finishing touches on some bad-ass Powermac G5s with enough memory bandwidth to embarrass an elephant, and enough MHz to make grown men feel proud.
It's going to happen!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!
d000d!!! Powermac G5s at MWNY or bust!!

I personally think there will not be a 17" model, but if there is it shall be cool indeed
Three models:
800 MHz G4
133 MHz bus
256 MB RAM
40 GB HD
CD-RW
15" LCD (1024 x 768)
GForce 2MX
1299$ (back to original price)
800 MHz G4
133 MHz bus
256 MB RAM
40 GB HD
DVD/CD-RW
17" LCD (widescreen, 1280 x 854)
GForce 2MX
1599$
1 GHz G4
133 MHz bus
256 MB RAM
60 GB HD
SuperDrive
17" LCD (widescreen, 1280 x 854)
GForce 4MX
1899$
(ok, maybe the GF4mx is too optimistic, but it would be nice perhaps they could find a way to make it BTO? )
EDIT: I have marked the improvements over the current line with bold

I kinda want a Powermac, but I'd buy that machine in a heartbeat.

Yes, of course Apple will need to upgrade the Power Macs ASAP if the iMacs are upgraded at MWNY, so they won't cannibalize the PM. Remember when the iMac G4 was launched? The exact same thing happened. No one in their right mind would buy a PM right after the iMac introduction, but a few weeks later the Power Macs was upgraded. I think the same will happen this time. iMac at MWNY, Power Macs in august.
