Mac Mini and iMac Product Part Numbers? Available Tomorrow?

[Thomas2006]

What would be the difference between the Entry Level and Mass Market?

Maybe the entry level is the 20" model with integrated graphics so it can be sold at a "bargain" price.

He promised elaboration after its announced, as in the story behind the delay and such.

I don't follow him, but his name is huge when it comes to apple leaks.

He's also quite entertaining

No quad-core Penryn iMac??? WTF? They've been out for 2 years now, and the newer models are EASILY within the power and heat budget of an iMac.

This will be hilarious... The Mac Pro will have 2x Quad-core "Nehalem" Xeons which already blow away the existing quad-core "Penryn" Xeons and the iMac will be stuck with a freaking Core 2 Duo!

New CPU (which I've colored red).

There already is a 2.66Ghz iMac albeit in the 20 inch model.

they are out now... check the site. Their high end one is the same one my boyfriend got last cycle, exactly. I dont see what else has changed except for lower end models.

I was kinda hoping they'd do something with the mini's case/form factor

 

[Axemantitan]

Maybe it's apple really REALLY over packaging something again, and that box was for the Apple Remote that's sitting on top of it...

I think that the remote might be there just to throw us off.

Yeah, I realized that and edited the post soon after.

Don't see anything changed.

What's the point to put a mini-DVI into a Mini? To make people switch from MB to Mini?

I'm guessing the mini-DVI is to make it easy for people to run it with a regular monitor as well a HTPC-type connection at the same time.

iMac 3.06Ghz =£1359
Mac Pro 2.8 Ghz quad =£1399
It's not exactly the same but it's similar.

Comparing the highest end iMac to the lowest end Mac Pro. You sure can't find any Mac Pro's in the $1500-$1600 range where there used to be some Power Mac models.

ok

Much too hot for the iMac.

 

[bmcgrath]

Bring on new minis. I would consider buying one and a Dell LCD now

 

[misterthingy]

Looks like Monthy is on the verge of owning a lot of us now

 

[0098386]

It's a crying shame these systems are no longer what I need. I love the design of the alu iMac. Unless they announce the graphics card will be a 4870x2 on the iMac I'll be skipping

You are right the mac pro is more expensive that the power macs were, however iMacs and minis are also more expensive.
The desktop range of macs have gone up in general.

Does anyone care? Why should we have believed him?

Erm?

*checks site*

No...?

I hear what you are saying, but currys is a pretty big store over here, who aren't particularly enamoured with apple. I don't think that they will be reading rumour sites and adding placeholders because of it.

I very much doubt Currys would be adding placeholders to the Comet web site, rumours or not.

 

[D4F]

Actually you're the one who needs to wake up because if you were awake you'd of known that the iMac has used notebook components for a long time. Do you see Quad-Cores in notebooks yet (I'm not talking about the notebooks that get a 5 minute battery life)?

My brother has a quad core Alienware laptop. It lasts more than 5minutes on battery trust me.

Lol my bad. Though I'll stick to my original comment, as I think it applies equally to Comet

Looks like there will be some form of a hard drive bump, if this poster is correct.
