They have three USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 400 and 800 ports, gigabit ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, and an upgraded SuperDrive – as well as a brand new slim aluminum keyboard with USB 2.0 ports.
Three models use a Core 2 Duo Merom CPU (a 24″ 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme model was available as a build-to-order option) with the same Santa Rosa chipset and 800 MHz bus found in the Mid 2007 MacBook Pro models. Unlike the Late 2006 iMac, there is no longer a 17″ model – only 20″ and 24″ models.
The new aluminum iMac is thinner than the old one.
