So if every older generation macbook pro with 8600 video card will fail question remains- what do apple gets from it? Decreased reputation? Smaller sales? Increased repair costs? Loss of money in another words. So could it be then that apple and nvidia made a deal- Nvidia will supply Apple cheaper parts, way cheaper than for some other manufacturer and Apple will exclusively use only Nvidia parts (getting rid of Intel and ATI)?
Got a tip for us?

How about you wait until we see some more updates? I have to say that nVidia's IGP and chipset solution on a single chip is the best one out there. Why not pick the best along with Intel's processors?
I can't really see it being much of a benefit on the iMac but it's a possibility. We might just see the PM45 on the iMac.

One bad bunch of GPUs is hardly justification to totally get rid of dealing with nvidia. They have a long track record of making good graphics cards, as does ATI. I applaud Apple for ditching Intel graphics on the MacBook line because they simply make poo poo GPUs.
