HAVE you seen it yet? The new Apple iMac looks great and takes computer design one step ahead of the competition.

The new machine is Apple's most adventurous creation yet with a sleek flat-panel screen, heralding what many see as "the death of the cathode ray tube".

The screen is supported by a thin metal neck, and at the base there is a plain white hemisphere containing all the computer's guts.

But the metal neck has another special function -- it moves.

The screen can glide up and down, so that every user can adjust it to suit their seating position, or cut down on glare from sunlight.

It is a radical design concept, but one that only Apple could pull off.

Despite the unique requirements of manufacturing such a machine, the low-end model will cost about £1,150 when it goes on sale in a few months.

Inside the machine you will find a generous allocation of memory, hard disk storage and up-to-date processors.

Apple's new venture is just what anyone would have expected from the company who want you to buy your iMac and plug all your other gear into it including your camera or even your TV.

But with so many people still using Windows-based machines Apple are going to have to work hard to convince these people to change.
