Last Minute Specs: iMac, Mac Minis, Airport Extreme, Time Capsule and Mac Pros?

[Umbongo]

But the i7 rocks and you said yourself high end desktop so why wouldn't apple release it. Makes no sense.

These perform the same. A Xeon 5550 is the same as the i7 920, just has one more QPI connection to connect to another processor. High end desktops are really aimed at gamers and enthusiasts. The Xeon W3520 is the same as the i7 920 too but with ECC support and will be aimed at UP (uni-processor) workstations and servers on the lower end. The Xeons are for DP (dual processor) workstation and servers like the Mac Pro and Xserve.

Intel like to be as confusing as possible

MacBreak Weekly

These announcements may be out just in time for Leo and the MacBreak Weekly guys to talk about them.

 

[whirlpool]

Scoop it, bro...

Tell us something specific.

i will buy an imac with core i7, will u?

 

[DaftUnion]

Seriously, if Apple releases the iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro all today that's pretty damn impressive. Hell, that's even better than some of their scheduled events for product updates.

BUT

Who wants to make a bet that at least one of them won't be out today.

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman....

walk in to a pub. The barman takes one look at them and says "this is a joke isn't it".

What is taking them ages

they're still making the new macs and taking product photo's while some coder is using iWeb to upload the pages to Apples servers

 

[macintel4me]

I just tried calling the 800 number for the US store to see if I could get the latest specs. Unfortunately, the customer rep was clueless.

 

[vvebsta]

Glad I'm not the only one that saw it Thanks for the screencap assist.

Says $599 on the mac mini page...

I bet on the Mac Pro.

And, yeah, guess what? THIS time, I'd RATHER be wrong.

Right, I just registered today, after lurking for years.

This updating of the site is taking an inordinate amount of time , far longer than usual

 

[Mr. Specialist]

iTunes store still up.

is slow! They just now updated iTunes (US) Home page.

 

[Kiyomizu]

It's taking such a long time to update. It doesn't seem like a simple update to change some specs but a full blown graphics and videos media presentation. Maybe it's a new product?

 

[robinp]

And those SDKs are pathetic nonsense. We're not WRONG, yet, because there is NO way that Apple will only have TWO models.

SKU I think you mean...

Cup of tea?

 

[hacksaw-C87]

iMac, Mac Mini today and save the Mac Pro until 24th as it may be the most impressive upgrade of the bunch?

Seems more than plausible.

 

[CalZephyr]

i will buy an imac with core i7, will u?

Time will tell...

 

[danz90]

i will buy an imac with core i7, will u?

I'd LOVE i7 in an iMac, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
I so hope you prove me wrong!

 

[Theophany]

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what the Hard Disk upgrade options will be? I'm not sure if WD's 2TB disks are available yet, so maybe just a 1.5TB upgrade option?

P.S.
I'm unbanned

I was searching the us store after the au store went down and it said $599 before the store went down

I suggest more sleep and reading Macrumors more often

 

[thelairster]

the austr.... I'm not even going to go there. These updates look good to me, not looking forward to the price increases because the aussie dollar has migrated to Antarctica.
