Brushed Aluminum iMacs in August?

Making them thinner would indicate to me that they aren't planning on making them any more expandable - though I would happily accept being wrong about that. My whole issue with iMac is that they aren't expandable enough, at least not if you want to keep your warranty.

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! Ok...after bashing Apple on the last thread for slow development on their computers we finally get some good news!
Maybe Steve saw what I said about him and his company and he decided to give us a little Mac news!!!

lolAlthough the design specs are nothing more than a rumor, it's about damn time that Apple updates the iMac.
It's only next month, if the rumor holds true, the most you have to wait until is August 31. It's not that long to wait.
would have to agree with him, ive been holding out as it is, unless it was the very very beginning of aug, as in first few days, aug would be too long.
im still hopefull we will see them late july, think secrets track record lately aint exactly brilliant is it
Be nice if they came with 2 GB of memory too. Then it would be an out of the box solution for me.
However, I don't really get the big deal about 2 inches thick? I don't think mine is much thicker than that if any.

My thoughts exactly, however the wife doesn't feel the same. Her thought is that my current iMac is only 13 months old, so no need to upgrade. It may take a couple months to wear her down, but by Christmas I should be able to in everyone else's good fortune.
Apple still makes desktops? JK, I guess after all the iPhone hype + my new MBP, I can hardly contain myself. Hopefully the new iMac will be a nice design and good upgrade for those that need it.
One more thing...
If the rumored iMac spec update is true, that it will be in the form factor of looking similar to the Apple Cinema Displays, then in my opinion, the iMac should then be called the "MacBook Pro, Desktop Edition".

People who are willing to spend the money on a top-of-the-range Mac Pro, and need a display could look into getting an iMac as a display:
They're not THAT much more than a display, and it would be great for when your machine goes into repair.
You also get the HD (for Time Machine?)...
So if this new iMac comes in August do you think Apple will offer a free or discounted upgrade for 10.5? It seems like a lot of people might wait until October to buy a new iMac preloaded with 10.5 since it will be out pretty much right after the new iMac comes.
I kind of agree. If they change from the current look, I think I'll miss it. They've changed form factors with things like the MacBook, but they've kept the overall look for quite awhile now...
The current iMac is not much (if any) thicker than 2'', certainly not at the thinnest points. The MacBook Pro is only one inch thick.
2 inches?
Only 2 inches thick? That would...uh...place it at the exact same thickness as the currently shipping 20-inch iMac.
