Apple Set To Sting Oz Customers With New Mac Pro + New Desk Free PC

Desktop PCS, Hardware


	A patent for a “desk-free” computer has been granted to Apple by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The all in-one PC delivers the screen display onto a surface using a built-in projector output. The projector would offer an advanced optical engine for extreme-angle projection so you could have the box close up to a wall while still keeping a pretty decent sized picture. Meanwhile Apple is set to start flogging their new cylindrical Mac Pro which comes with a 3.7GHZ quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, 12GB of memory, and 256GB of flash storage. The price is $3999. The same PC in the USA is $US2999. Taking into account Exchange rates and a local GST the cost is $300 more for Australian buyers.
