NZ pricing, release details for iMac refresh, which focusses on power.

Apple has taken the wraps off an all-new iMac line featuring brilliant LED-backlit 21.5 and 27-inch widescreen displays in a new edge-to-edge glass design and seamless all aluminium enclosure. The previous iMac line-up topped out with a 24-inch display.

Forget rumours that Apple would slash prices on its new Macs. In the US, the price has stayed the same. Here, Kiwis will actually have to pay $450-600 more for the new Mini than its predecessor. PLUS: full details of the new Mini, 20-inch + 24-inch iMacs, and the AirPort Extreme with Time Capsule.

In the US, the new Mac Mini was announced today priced from $US599, on a par with the previous model in Apple’s case-only minimalist desktop line.
