Looking ahead on the 2010 iMac

[Icaras]

MB/MBP updates and graphic cards in there will tell us what is the next GPUs in the iMac

https://buyersguide.macrumors.com//#iMac another three months to go!

God I hope you are right. I am waiting very anxiously and I really hope they don't wait until WWDC to refresh the line. The wait is killing me.

Do you suspect Apple may finally give the iMac an SSD via CTO?

I hope they put more than one video out so that I can have at least two external screens.
I guess they will update the iMacs pretty soon after the macbook pros/mac pros. Seeing as arrandale is mostly out....wouldn't they also update macbooks (again) while they are at it?

I'd say either iMacs come out 2 months after new laptops or they come out with a significant design change at WWDC with (possibly touch screens). i5/i3s clarks will probs replace c2ds in the lower model. The i7 27" might not get a speed bumb, unless they get released later than we think and they get the i7 Eidorian posted.

I highly doubt so, this is a desktop where you need like minimum 500GB storage even say at least 300GB, SSD are expensive above 128GB

the cheaper ones from Kingston and other companies are 60GB or 80GB.

may be next year 2011 WWDC we will see SSD option in iMac.

Why do people who want iMacs automatically need at least 300GB? I want a iMac and would gladly trade storage space for speed. 128GB is fine.

+1!

Hey, that's what externals are for.

It looks like LGA 1156 does have a little more life on the low end with a rumored Core i5 760. It's only a tiny 133 MHz boost from the older Core i5 750 and the stepping will remain the same.

There's nothing new on the Core 2 front after the release of the remaining mobile Core 2 Duo CULV parts for thin notebooks.

I wouldn't expect any major changes beyond high clocked Nehalem/Westmere processors until Sandy Bridge in Q1 2011.

LGA 1156 will be dead when Sandy comes as LGA 1155 isn't compatible with 1156
