PHOTO: The iPad mini announcement is coming... but here's the new iMac

Man alive it’s thin…

YUP. APPLE WON’T be happy until their computers are invisible.

As the anticipated announcement of the new ‘iPad Mini’ looms this evening, first comes the next generation iMac, which has instantly made the last one to hit the market look like a 1986 Skoda.

The new model achieves its severe thinness in part by eliminating the optical disc drive. Apple has been leaving those drives out of its most recent laptop models as well.

An iMac model with a 21.5-inch screen will start shipping in the US in November for $1,299. A 27-inch version will start at $1,799.

iPad Mini: What’s the point?
