Online Ad Evidence of Imminent iMac, Mac Mini and MacBook Updates?

"iMac: Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only € 1099. Apple Store"

I called it. They are just going to make it thinner. I doubt anything else will be upgraded besides the keyboard, mouse and remote alongside it. Glad I purchased my iMac in June, seeing as how I really couldn't care less on how thin it is.

The Mini needs a price drop.

If it's true, I think it's about time I upgrade my 20" iMac to a more current rev! Can't wait to see what comes out

Of course I just bought an iMac last month. Oh well...I'm happy with it...

This should be very interesting. Can't wait to see the exterior redesign.

Mac mini price drop to $499?

And if the iMac gets thinner will the maximum CPU TDP that can fit in it drop from 55 W?

Ugh i dont like the sound of the 'Ultra Thin' iMac

Dammit Scotty! I need more power! (or at least two more cores...)

Still crossing my fingers and hoping for a quad core..

Unibody iMacs?

Sounds neat.

Ugh. Four cores please. Who cares how thin it is.

This is great! Surely the new products can't be far away now, maybe Monday?

Thats funny, why does the Netherlands have the same price in the US when the currency is different?

$499 is the price they had on the first G4 mini, so it makes sense.

AppleInsider says dual-core, although other places say quad-core. Personally I believe AppleInsider more.

Soooo nothing on the MBP, then? Phew... guess I won't cancel my order then.

seriously? making the imac thinner is just retarded. who cares????

"Krachtiger' in Dutch translates to "more powerful". Not "stronger".

a dual core iMac is not going to be a good upgrade for current al iMac users. It's not a 'must' upgrade unless it's quad.

Come on Apple i want the new imac to be more powerful than a dell LAPTOP

This may be the one I've been waiting for!

I've felt for some time that the Mini has huge potential, but has been hobbled by (a) too high price for the hardware you get, (b) too little focus from Apple, leaving it languishing in the doldrums too long, (c) ludicrous 'high-end' version of Spring 2009 model, where you paid $200 just to get an extra gig of Ram and larger HD while CPU stayed same.

So I hope they really do give it some 'muscle' and an appealing (read lower) price.

Re. iMac becoming ultra-thin. That, to me, seems just dumb.
The iMac has been having heat issues (in the ones I've used) so making it thinner seems a poor engineering choice. Besides, it provides no tangible benefit to user... to use the computer, one views the front of the machine, not the side view (who uses their computer by staring at it sideways...)

But maybe the engineers have created a miracle and allow it to be more powerful without hotter.
One can hope that actual power efficiency and better CPU throughput are at least somewhere high on the list (below of course the 'top-priority' of thin and artsy design ).

My prediction:

Quad core iMac only in the most expensive model

Dual core in the two lower versions of the iMac, quad in the higher end versions.

Well, i just did the search for "nieuwe macbook", and it shows the same macbook ad but for a macbook air.

Anyway, are we sure these ads are new?

Is it just me or is a google ad-buyer spending more money than he needs:

So... the first 3 results are apple's own... but they buy an ad just before it.
I wonder, why spend that kind of money?

How much time?

So anyone have any ideas on when these new Macs will come out. I am in the market for a new MacBook! I need to replace this eMac of mine...

if they dont give the iMac a spec bump that include better GPU & CPU then I think its going to be an epic fail by apple... Its just going to be left standing as all other computers are going to be i5 & i7 based
