'Mysterious iMac' May Just Be Studio Display
This article describes:
An Apple iMac with a
17-inch screen that pivots on a tripod....The mystery iMac was featured in a display for Umax, an erstwhile Macinotosh clone maker. Umax
was not selling the computer. Rather, the company employed the computer to power a scanner
demonstration. "We just bought it," a representative said.
To someone who hasn't seen the 17" Apple Studio Display before, such as a PC-centric News.com reporter assigned to the Taiwanese Computex Taipei convention, the third largest computer convention in the world, that monitor would look exactly like an iMac with a 17" screen. The article describes a screen that rotates on a tripod. When looking at the Apple Studio Displays you can clearly see where the reporter would have been confused. Then, giving the comment that UMAX 'bought' the product, and it was used to drive a scanner, it becomes more obvious that it must have been a Studio Display.
UPDATE:
We've since received an email from a News.com reporter:
Please note that a Mac-centric news.com reporter--me--has edited the story. Time
differences caused some interpretation issues, which have been resolved in
the version now posted on our site.
