Tales of the Headless Mac

January 5, 2005

A little birdy told us that Apple plans to release an entry level Mac sans monitor for approx. US499 sometime in the 2005.

AppleInsider also reports this same “Headless iMac” that will go for “under $600.” This new Macintosh, code-named Q88, is reported to be part of the iMac family and is expected to feature a PowerPC G4 processor running in the neighborhood of 1.25GHz. The new Mac is said to be “incredibly small and will be housed in a flat enclosure with a height similar to the 1.73 inches of Apple’s Xserve,” according to ThinkSecret. “Its size benefits will include the ability to stand the Mac on its side or put it below a display or monitor,” ThinkSecret reports.

Apple is on the offensive and is suing ThinkSecret in an attempt to flush out the mole who is leaking their trade secrets. Hard to blame them.
