New iMacs!!!

 

[joost538]

Solid State Drive now an option!

Yes!! God I hope it's an Intel drive and not a Samsung one.

 

[lazyrighteye]

1 down, 2 to go?

 

[MacQuest]

Sweet update.

I can go to sleep now.

😎

Pricing?

Apple site said $1199/1699. I assume the 1199 is the lowest of the 21inches.

Bad day to lose my wallet!

Yippie

Now if only we weren't in a recession, so we could all get one.

 

[Stella]

Wow - only i3s - apart from the highest end. I was expecting i5s at least in all.


No Mac Pros.. still.

Are the ATI Radeon HD 5670 any good for games? Did apple up the graphic cards due to Steam?

 

[Kebabselector]

Magicpad!!! waiting for the UK store to wake up though

 

[REM314]

Phew, my new PC still has a better cpu, gpu and more ram than any of the new base models.

 

[GodWhomIsMike]

Finally got rid of the Core 2 Duo processors. Sadly, the video choice, while significantly better, could have been a tad bit better. Shouldn't they have 1GB video ram across the whole line, no?

 

[wesleyh]

How does this compare to the 2.8ghz intel core i7 imac I bought on the last refresh?

 

[opeter]

The CPU upgrade is OK. My only problem is with pricing. Especially in Euros ...

The Mac Pros were updated also:
http://www.apple.com/macpro/

12 cores ... for 5000 $.


Quad-core starting at $2499.
8-core starting at $3499.
12-core starting at $4999.

Yess,

Please give us a 13'' MBP with dedicated gfx!

Christian

 

[Digital Skunk]

Great! Now where's the MAC Pro

 

[Maserati7200]

No Mac Pros.. still.

Check the Mac Pro page... it says it has 6/12 cores now... they just didnt post the story yet

 

[ValSalva]

No Mac Pro's?!?! Amazing. Was Gruber wrong?

 

[JLew715]

Wow, i know this wasn't expected to be a major update, but God forbid Apple would come up with a new design! I've been waiting literally six years for a design that wasn't just a computer-in-a-monitor. Another year, another disappointment. Did they fire all the guys who did the iMac G4?

 

[ma5ter5]

Hd + Ssd

interesting that you can option for HD, SSD, or both on the 27"s.

 

[lazyrighteye]

Wait, Magic Trackpad is also announced.

SSD + Normal Hard Drive

This was a nice surprise. Still a little pricy, but very tempting!

 

[wesleyh]

It appears that you can now buy a 256GB SSD for $600 extra.

 

[hismikeness]

21.5" / 3.06GHz Core i3 / 4GB / 500MB / ATI Radeon HD 4670

I assume that should be 500GB...

27" / 2.8GHz Quad-Core Core i5 / 4TB / 1TB / ATI Radeon HD 5750

And 4TB of RAM seems like an awful lot.
