iMac Revision and iLife on August 7th?

[AlexisV]

What is the expected life of the iMac logic board? I am almost afraid to buy one because of the tight enclosure keeping heat inside. Have been holding off on a new Mac purchase until a headless Mac arrives

Expected life expectancy is decades.

It's still going to be outdated a few weeks after you buy it....that's just how the technology world works.

Not with Apple anymore.... it takes nearly a year! Especially with iMacs! </sarcasm>

It's bound to happen some time, better sooner than later, I hope it's now...

core 2 quad?

God, everyone's gonna be so disappointed when they just get a slight bump in specs with the same case...

 

[ju5tin81]

Or, if they just take the word 'new' off the iMac page... Cannot believe that's still there, nearly a year later...

I'd be really chuffed actually. I love the current design! I just want 2 gig RAM standard, exapandable to 4 and a 500gig hardrive!

It's been down for aaaaages actually! Could be a speed bump!!!

If it is just a speed bump I am just going to get it. I can't deal with all this hanging around.

Me too! I love the current iMacs; I just refuse to pay top dollar for year old tech; 2gig RAM and a chunky hard drive would do me lovely!!

 

[AlexisV]

Very interesting. When it's down, it usually just won't work for a short time. This time it has an updating notice and has been down for a while.

 

[mrmjd]

Come on baby! Bring it to Papa!!!!!

 

[zedsdead]

Come on baby! Bring it to Papa!!!!!

My thoughts exactly........come on Quad-Core iMac!

 

[mrmjd]

My thoughts exactly........come on Quad-Core iMac!

That would indeed be most welcome, my friend

 

[Yateball]

Apple Canada store down too!

In addition to the U.S. store being down, the Canadian store at apple.ca is down as well. It also says it's updating!!!

I personally am not crazy about a revision as I JUST got an 20" imac 1 month ago... oh well, such is life!

 

[Barabas]

Nope, nothing new.

 

[mrmjd]

Some crazy guy told me once that Apple used to be a company that actually sold computers once!....as if, eh?

 

[AlexisV]

Just some iPhone accessories.

Sick of the bloody thing now.

On/off switch

I'm guessing the new iMac will be switched on and off by pressing the Apple logo on the (probably smaller) chin. You read it here first.

Any other guesses as to outside tweaks?

 

[Yateball]

Nothing new

The site is back up and nothing new but some iPhone accessories, and a minor layout tweak.

The rumoured announcement is only a week away though so we'll hopefully find out soon
