Inside the New Mac Releases
By Carl Weiss
When I get a new computer, I’m usually focused on getting all the hardware properly hooked up and loading all the necessary software. Some of our tech friends over at IFixit and Boing Boing have a different take. Rather than building, they’re breaking down. They got their hands on the new iMac 20″ and Mac Mini respectively and didn’t waste much time getting a look at the guts. In order to bring us well beyond the spec sheet, they’ve leftied some screws and given us a look inside to see what’s beyond the glitzy 20″ monitor. The cold hard facts on the iMac 20″: crisp 1680 x 1050 display, four USB 2.0 ports, optical audio in/out, loud, clear speakers, FireWire 800 7 Watts and Gigabit Ethernet. To see the rest that these computers have to offer, in full detail, and find out how to dissect one yourself, follow links above.
