"New Mac for only £260"

I saw in the Mail paper yesterday, Apple are said to be planning a low cost Mac costing about £260. That price would include the CPU, keyboard, and mouse. You just add the monitor of your choice. The code name for this Mac is "Q88".

Even with the cost of a standard LCD desktop monitor, this would very cheap for a new Apple computer. It also says you might be able to use your tv as a monitor.

I would think, if they made it, they would not be able to keep up with demand where it would be so popular.

Yeah, it looks fake - I posted this before having a good look at them and reading what others thought on the forum I got the link from.

Motorola have already announced this at the CES.

There's a video??

Edit: oh yeah, didnt see that, why would he hold it like that and kind of move it from side to side?!?

He did a good job of editing the video too then.

iHome, what a horrible name, they would never call it that.

They're very well done fakes.

General concensus seems to be those pics are fake. :)
