Just noticed on the UK store, what a nice surprise! I can't believe the Mac Mini finally has "New" by it's name!
 
the lowest priced imac in the uk is now £949 which is $1336

its way too overpriced for an "entry level" machine

The new features of time capsule are sweet. Dual mode. Guest wifi...
 
Good update. The iMac updates are nice. If I cared for a desktop, I'd get an iMac. However, my Unibody MacBook serves me perfectly.

The best part of £1k for an entry level ready to go desktop (the mini doesn't count) really is just too much, especially in these times.

They will still sell, but it's a great shame the cost of entry isn't lower.
