Hasta La Gadget!

Apple just announced new 24-inch and 20-inch iMacs, with some friendlier pricing and Mini DisplayPort video out. Prices start at $1,199 for the 20-inch and $1,499 for the 24-inch. At the base level Apple offers a 20-incher with 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD and GeForce 9400M graphics, the rest of the iMacs are 24-inch numbers with 4GB of RAM standard. In the high end Apple has 2.93GHz and 3.06GHz processor for $1,799 and $2,199, respectively, with GeForce GT 120 256MB and GeForce GT 130 512MB graphics. In between there’s a 24-incher for $1,199 with 9400M graphics, a 2.66GHz processor and a 640GB HDD. On the outside it’s that same iMac candy shell you know and love, though Apple has oddly replaced the standard wired keyboard with a new numeric keypad-free model — those pesky numbers are available as an option. All models are available now, full configurations are after the break.

Update: Early information across the wires listed the new iMacs with Core i7 processors. Sadly, this is not the case, and we’ve updated the post to reflect the boring reality of the situation.

MSI has gone official with its all-in-one Wind NetOn A1900, which looks to be the M19 we saw in November that was also at CES. The 18.5-inch desktop houses an Intel Atom N270, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB SATA HDD, DVD burner, 4-in-1 card reader, 1.3 megapixel webcam, and an optional 802.11 b/g. Its display is soft-rocking a WSXGA 16:9 resolution with 5 ms response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 250 cd/m² brightness — nothing worth writing home about. No word here on here pricing or availability, but back when it called itself the M19, it was scheduled to hit retail channels last month for five Benjamins.

In a move that Acer is hoping will both increase its subsidiary’s status in its native country and give the Eee Top a run for its money, Gateway’s new all-in-one PC is set to hit Taiwan sometime in the near future. The Windows XP Home-based ZX2300 rocks an 18.5-inch screen up front with a 16:9 aspect ration and a 1366 x 768 resolution. Under the hood you can expect to find an AMD Athlon 2650e processor with 1GB memory, 160GB storage, Wi-Fi, webcam, and a Lightscribe DVD burner. No word on a street date, but lucky folks in Taiwan can expect to pay $17900 (NT) — roughly $530 (US). Full specs after the break.

While the Eee Top may get a lot of zombie-hand loving, it’s not the only game in town when it comes to cheapo all-in-one PCs. Shuttle announced its X50 desktop at CES as well, a system with more than just a few similarities to the competition, namely its CPU, base RAM, display size and resolution, chipset, GPU, and OS. In case you don’t know those by heart: 1.6GHz Intel Atom 330, 1GB of RAM, 15.6-inch,1366 x 768 resistive touchscreen display, 945GC mainboard, GMA 950 graphics, and Windows XP. The real difference is the hard drive — the Eee Top sports a 160GB, the X50 just 80GB — and the price point, with the Shuttle clocking in at $499 ($100 cheaper). Our take? We’re starting to see the emergence of what amounts to the netbook desktop — a one piece, low power system meant for the kids’ room, the kitchen, or grandma’s rest home suite. The Shuttle wins in the looks department, but don’t make any fast decisions — come its March launch, you’ll be seeing plenty of these.
