Might Apple introduce a headless iMac next month?  MacRumors.com has a report on the front page, talking about the possibility of a release of one.  I’ll let you go there to get the details, but let’s just say I’m not exactly thrilled with the idea.

Apple has always said that they believed strongly that consumer Macs should be all-in-ones.  If they were to release such an iMac, they’d be contradicting themselves.  Yes, they’ve done it before, but never as blatantly as this would be.

If Apple releases a $500 G5 iMac, and still has Powerbook G4s, wouldn’t that be ridiculous?  I mean… A faster computer for $500 than for $2500 is just ridiculous.  If Apple were to make such a machine, I think it might hurt the sales of their G4 models, if they still exist.

The good side is that it would convince more PC users to switch, and would make an affordable G5 for those who want one.  I mean, in some ways, there are as many negatives as positives, but I just don’t like the idea of an iMac being more powerful than a Powerbook, and costing less than a fourth of the price.
