Apple introduces new $499 computer and $99 iPod

This is freakin' awesome.



It's totally upgradeable, but here's the default $499 configuration:
1.25GHz PowerPC G4
256MB DDR333 SDRAM
ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB DDR video memory
40GB Ultra ATA hard drive
Combo drive
DVI or VGA video output
AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth optional



512MB for $99.... awesome price.

Never tried out a Mac before. I've always been a fan of their work but when it came down to it, the biggest issue was always price. Now, this is pretty impressive....

Macs are pretty damn sweet, especially for graphics and for pretty much anyone that wants a nice user interface.

Well, hundred bucks more for a better UI and less compatibility didn't really seem that attractive for me last time I was in need and could afford it :/.

But yeah, this is pretty svelt!

Yeah, price has always been my gripe with Macs.

... but I love everything they make. Their design in general is awesome.
