Options ( the ! is the separator of the 2 brands, Apple and Gateway):

Intel® 2x2.4 GHZ ! AMD 2x1.9 GHz

17" Widescreen TFT-LCD (1680 x 1050) ! 17" WXGA+ with BrightView (1440
x 900)
Price $2,799.99 ! $1,099.99
I'm confused. Are you speccing a Mac Pro with a separate Cinema
Display?

Because for Office, web browsing, and photo editing you could get a
20" iMac for $1200.

I think he meant $1,799 for the iMac with 2.4Ghz.

Actually, for the 20"/2.4 GHz iMac, the price is $1499 (USD). If you want the 24" model, with the same processor, the price is $1799 (USD).


That's right. I was looking at the wrong one.
