I can't wait to see what new iMac might look like. Have thought of getting a cinema display for my MBP... maybe I can just get an iMac? 
Got a tip for us?

Brushed Aluminum iMac at WWDC?

Can anyone depict what it may look like? Someone should draw a nice little sketch
there you go:
I don't expect a brushed-aluminum iMac. Why? Because the pro systems are brushed aluminum. How will the unwashed masses understand what is pro and what is consumer?
Noooooo!
I'm holding out on one more update/bump before I upgrade the G4 here and I want it to be white.

All these reports are killing me... So? what is it - iMac? no iMac?
SJ has to intro something. He can't talk 90 minutes about Leopard, Can he????
Wait - no - don't answer that question....

He doesn't. If the Mac Mini and 17" iMacs both die and Apple positions the iMac higher up, it means that they're either taking on partners to license the OS or they flat out don't have a clue what desktop users want beyond the Mac faithful. The iMac and the all in one form factor favors families, not prosumers. The less accessible they are to families, the less they will sell.
Plus, need I remind everyone that Think Secret doesn't have the sources they did a couple years back.
And it would essentially make the low end Macbook the entry level...
Though by doing this Apple would control the type of screens their new users have.
I'm hoping even for improved specs...
Hey, once you make ANY update to the iMac I have some nice funds to hand over..
Hurry up, getting tired of my G4 Mac Mini
Now I need to know...I will be broke buying my Volvo, but want to have a new Mac as well, to replace my wonderful iMac G5...question:
Should I buy a new MBP or a new iMac..? GO APPLE!
And I AM 65816!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIVA MY OLD APPLE IIGS!!!!!!!!
ATTENTION: APPLE DOES NOT USE BRUSHED METAL FOR ANYTHING. IT'S SIMPLY ALUMINUM. BRUSHED METAL IS THE GUI OF APPS LIKE SAFARI. LEOPARD RIDS THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF BRUSHED METAL.
APPLE DOESN'T MAKE A SINGLE PIECE OF HARDWARE USING BRUSHED METAL. IT'S MORE OF A "POWDER-COAT ALUMINUM" IF ANYTHING

If it's true, I will definitely be buying the 24" brushed Aluminum iMac!
And if they are getting rid of the 17" and the Mac mini, maybe there will be another big surprise at WWDC for the lower-end market.

I am considering iMac vs. MBP, but I really think I'm a desktop person(note: I have a crappy laptop for work), but I really think hard drive space limits me on laptops...I don't want to have to connect an external for my entire music library to be available to listen to or edit...
My plan is to get an iMac soon to satisfy my desk needs, and in a year or so either an iPhone or a lower end macbook for portable uses.
Bugger. I like my plastic iMacs. They remind me of a blank canvas.
Anyroad. Keep the Mac Mini as low end, emphasise the iMac as a more than capable consumer desktop, and the good ol' high end Mac Pro.
A lot of my not-so computer literate friends think of my iMac as a low end system. Despite it being a very capable machine (even playing the latest games n such).

They could mac the iMac a BTO box if you will, buy a cinema display and piggyback anything from a low-level consumer (mac mini) to a pro-sumer (mid tower) on the back of it. When I say piggy that is literally what I mean, a cinema display with a computer hooked on the back.
