Unboxing the 24-inch iMac

by Conrad Quilty-Harper, posted Sep 10th 2006 at 9:25PM

It's taken a little longer than we anticipated, but here they are: the first unboxing shots of Apple's new 24-inch iMac to go alongside those recent benchmarks. It's not the most comprehensive unboxing set we've seen, nor the most tidy (check out that cable mess!), but the fact that it's the first means that the guy behind the camera automatically gets our Engadget-branded kudos. The scale of the machine is a little hard to judge -- we *think* that's a 17-inch iMac in the later shots -- but the one thing we have learned from the pictures is very welcome: the increase in screen size makes the 24-incher's plastic "chin" the least distracting of all the iMac models. Apple, take note -- making an iMac that looks less like Jay Leno was a good decision. Keep reading to check out this new Mac in all its unboxed glory, then hit up the Read link for the full gallery...

Does anyone have a mirror for this? The read link is out of bandwidth usage.

.mac data transfer limit has been reached. I love it when engadget makes someones personal website get slammed with clicks, makes me laugh inside every time.

Joe - This was on Digg hours ago, I'd say that's what probably killed it.

i think the imac is great but what speakers does he have connected to the 17" imac. They look impressive and i'm looking for some speakers for my new 24".
