I’ll Take One of Those

Have you always wanted a Mac, but just couldn’t swing the price? Rumor has it that Apple will soon be releasing an iMac model that will cost around the same price as a top of the line iPod.

Think Secret has reported that Apple is expected to announce the introduction of a new iMac model that will retail for $499. This bold move is obviously targeted at Windows users who currently own iPods and would like to step even further into the Apple world.

The new Mac, code-named Q88, will be part of the iMac family and is expected to sport a PowerPC G4 processor at a speed around 1.25GHz. The new Mac is said to be incredibly small and will be housed in a flat enclosure with a height similar to the 1.73 inches of Apple’s Xserve. Its size benefits will include the ability to stand the Mac on its side or put it below a display or monitor. A monitor will not be included in the design like it has been in other iMac models.

The new Mac is expected to be introduced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at his keynote address on Tuesday, January 11, but is not expected to be available until later in the first quarter.
