iMac (Core Duo)
I took a look at the first of the new Intel Macs. The first thing that you notice about the iMac Core Duo, is it looks just like the iMac G5 (iSight). It does not have any new cosmetic features. The second thing that you notice, is that the thing is blazingly fast! It runs iLife ’06, iWork ’06, and the built-in apps (ex. Safari) really fast. It even runs Microsoft Office version 2004 really fast, even though this Power PC app. is running over the OS X integrated Rosetta, which allows you to run “most” of the PPC (Power PC) software on the new Macs. Overall, this is an amazing computer (but hey, It’s from Apple!).
