1286829 2012-07-08 02:33:00 I like the article, say the base model is cheaper and better then apples, then goes on to say prices haven't been released yet? plod (107)

That means **** all. Give us some real specs.


Edit: You can get the baseline iMac for $1100US (using US because I assume its referring to the USD price).
Specs:
i5 2400 2.5ghz Quad Core
4gb DDR3
500gb HDD
6750M 512mb Graphics
DVD-RW

From what I can make out the baseline "Vizio" has:
i3 ? 2.4ghz Dual Core (there are no quad core i3's?)
4gb DDR3
500gb HDD
Intel 4000 HD Graphics (Only the i7 model supports the 640m)
No optical drive

Cheaper, maybe. Better? No. Seeing as they only claimed the baseline model is cheaper I'm going to assume that the other models aren't (wouldn't it make sense to claim that they are all cheaper than the Apple equivalents? maybe they dont have pricing yet?)

You just have to look at the URL for about 1/2 a second to realize how stupidly biased this article is going to be.

27" i7 model 1,349.99
27" i5 model 1,249.99
24" i7 model 1,249.99
24" i5 model 1,049.99

I presume they are US dollars.
