What's this? An Apple G5? No, it's an Apple Pentium 4 3.6GHz. This is the £545 computer Apple is offering to developers in an effort to woo them onto the company's new chip of choice: Intel.
Hang on! Isn't Intel Apple's arch enemy? Well, as Anakin makes his final transformation into Darth Vader on cinema screens across the country, it seems like Apple has made its own Lucas-inspired cross over to the dark side. Despite famously setting light to Intel's bunnyman in a parody advert, Apple has announced it's making the switch to Intel processors.
This G5-look-alike is the first publicly available Intel-based Mac, but you'll need to be a member of the Apple Developer programme to get your hands on one. Unfortunately, no one at Crave is signed up, and our lust is uncontrollable.
This could be the most impressive Mac ever made. Apple's latest OS release, Mac OSX Tiger, has been getting a lot of press recently for trouncing Microsoft's as-yet-unreleased operating system, Longhorn. We can't wait to see what it's like to run the world's most intuitive operating system on the world's most accessible computer hardware. We might have to hunt down and kill a programmer to get our tongues on this new Mac, but it'll be worth every bludgeon. -CS
