"Every iMac-from the $999 model up through the new dazzling 24-inch wide-screen model now features blazing Core 2 Duo performance," said Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing head. "And the new 24-inch wide-screen iMac is the fastest, biggest and brightest iMac we've ever made."

The new 24-inch iMac features a 24-inch wide-screen LCD display with a 1,920 x 1,200 pixel resolution that offers 30 percent more screen space than the 20-inch model and a brighter display to make reading text and viewing images even easier.
