I was just going to post that Gizmodo thing. Anyone willing to assume an AppleTV? (One with an LCD)

hmmm... a larger iMac?
 
One 20" model and three 24" models? I hope not. 20" is the sweet spot IMO, I would never want anything larger.

The equation only works if you assume that the profit lost from Mac Pro buyers who end up spending less on an xMac is less than the profit gained by customers who are currently not being satisfied and substitute something else.

That probably used to be true, when the ranges were closer together, and when the Hackintosh option did not exist. I actually think it'd make more sense to do an i7 xMac, and ditch the Mac Pro altogether.

I agree, except the Pro users often have a multi-screen set up, so the pro version would have to have a razor thin margin...

Except there's no driver support for that in the leaked 10.5.7 release, good idea, but sadly not going to happen.



Maybe it's the new Apple HiFi 2.0, now with 10.2 surround sound ear bursting speaker glory!

ya but remember when the mac book pro's (or jsut mac books i cant remember) had drivers for GPU accelerated video decoding that wern't in the offical seed. "the more you know" :)
 
*cry*. I want a new apple display for a DESKTOP!!

Mac mini will be unbelievably fantastic if it happens. Really wish they would do a redesign to bring inline with rest of products.

Since the turn around that Apple made in the mid to late 90's they have deliberately kept their product line lean as it's the most cost effective way to run the business. Adding an 'xMac' would make the product line unnecessarily bloated and complicated.

I thought Apple's turnaround began in 1998 with the iMac. Anyway, between 1999 and 2005 or so, iMacs and Power Macs (the "xMac"-type system) co-existed peacefully in Apple's product line, and both sold well.

It could be pretty much anything, here at UPS some shippers try to save money by shipping smaller packages in bigger boxes, or also known as dimensions. Example we had a box about that size and the weight said 70 pounds but it actually felt like 15-25 pounds.

Surely the power mac was a Mac Pro type system.
 
Side note, dont forget that if these products are indeed true and are coming out tomorrow, a big giveaway is that Apple usually takes down their product from the site and reuploads a new product with specs etc. If we dont see any changes on the site by tonight or early morning, its probably safe to say the product might be announced at the rumored March 24th event.
