Apple announces Intel-based Macs

Posted Jan 10th 2006 2:02PM by Barb Dybwad

Leave it to Steve Jobs to drop a few bombs at this year's Macworld SF keynote -- those of us who've been waiting for the new Intel Macs were not disappointed today. There's a new 20-inch 2GHz Intel dual core iMac for $1699 and its little sister 17-inch 1.83GHz Intel dual core iMac for $1299 -- but that's not all. Those of us drooling over Intel-based PowerBooks finally got our wish: 15.4-inch MacBook Pro units come in two flavors: a top of the line 1.83GHz Intel dual core model for $2499 and its little sis, the 15.4-inch 1.67GHz Intel dual core portable for $1999. That sound you're hearing? It's the left hand slapping the right as it reaches for the credit card.

For complete details on all the new announcements including iLife '06, updates to the iWork suite, OS 10.4.4 and more keep your eyes glued to Engadget and TUAW for live coverage all day long.
