Steve loves his keynote presentations!
Mr. Jobs is currently in the middle of giving his presentation at the Apple Media Event where he is raving on about the updated iMacs. The iMac range is to be built from aluminum and glass and will come in two sizes, 20″ and 24″ and has four models in total. There is no 17″ but the iMacs will have an entry-level iMac, two mid-range iMacs and a top of the range iMac.
The retro looking iMacs are getting tanked up on hardware too…

Check out the Specs page on the Apple site for more info.
Update: The Euro prices are after coming through!
The entry level iMac is priced at $1,199 (€1,199.00), the mid-range at $1,499 (€1,449.00) and $1,799 (€1,749), while the top of the range iMac will cost $2,289 (€2,219.00). We will have the Euro price later..
The new keyboards have the same brushed steal look as Pro range and the keyboard is 3 times as narrow as the current one. I’m not sure what the new mice look like.
The images above were posted on a thread on a Mac Forum I go to. When more information (and a video) is made available, I’ll post them up.
Edit: The images are taken from Engadget. They are live blogging the media event.
The new iMacs are available to order as of today, but we’re not certain if it’s US only. The Apple store is currently closed for business while they update, so the new iMacs must be going global. The iMac page on the Apple site hasn’t been updated yet with any information from today’s media event.
I’m getting sick of updating this post. I’ll come back to the new iMacs once the dust has settled.
