No.
It might have "Blu-ray" support, though.
"BD" is the acronym - "Blu-ray Disc". BD. BD-ROM.

iMac on sale at best buy?
I've been wanting to get an iMac myself. I have been checking out the ones at Best Buy and do you know what I noticed on friday? Both of the Best buy stores near my house were selling all of the iMac models that were on display. Im new to the forums, so is best buy not going to sell them or are we getting new iMacs?
For both stores to mark down and sell the store display models on the same day is odd. The new macbooks were still full price.

im located in ct and most of the bestbuys in the state arent carrying imacs
you can buy them online from the wear house
theres is only a 2.8ghz imac avaiable in 1 store in the state.
the mac mini's and macpro are all backordered and not available in any store in the state.
so much for being a reseller huh.

Since Best Buy is selling their iMacs that were displays, IT'S CERTAIN! The iMacs are going to be released this TUESDAY! I guarantee this. I have seen this before. Best Buy definitely has inside information. Ok, will get my money moved over to my checkcard for purchase on Tuesday. Well, I have never seen it happen before but surely this is now FACT!
It is possible there will be no big escapade but just a small note to the press stating the entire lineup of Mac desktops have been released... oh and btw, they're shipping "today" with Snow Leopard pre-installed! And by the way, they have Blu-Ray Drives installed in all of them, even the MacMini. Oh, and there's now a headless Mac - every Mac lover out there just dreamed of the day, and now we know it's TUESDAY! And by the way, there's also a Mac Tablet, a Mac Media Server, and of course an iPhone NANO. All being released Tuesday morning! Can you imagine? Like dreaming... ok, we are dreaming, but wouldn't that be the day! And ah NetMacBook... almost forgot for those of you that want a netbook.
Can't we all dream, BIG!?

I don't think they'd call the press to a redesigned mac mini, its not a big seller for apple. If they did redesign it they would probably just put black plastic on the top or possibly make it thinner. I hope they release one tomorrow. My wife's crappy pc broke and now i'm finally able to get all the windows out the house!
If it was to get a redesign, probably. But again I'm betting it is just going to be a bump and move to Nvidia chip set. Much like the white MacBook update last week.
I hope I'm wrong and it is a more significant update - but I'm not counting on it.
Way to go out on a limb.
Debating?
If Apple hasn't figured that out yet, it's going to be a long wait!that cnet article gave zero new info. in fact, it seems to contradict apple's own target release date for snow leopard of 1Q 09.
i'm new to apple but it also wouldn't seem to make financial sense to time the updated imac release with snow leopard's release b/c apple would make less money that way. and from a marketing perspective, separate releases keeps them in the "news" longer and more frequently, giving the company more buzz. the two products almost certainly will be released separately.

This thread is becoming like the 'broken watch', sooner or later it will be right if it just stays around long enough.
In the meantime I have put together an i7 PC system for about $1200. I guess I will get a new iMac the 'next time' around. You can only wait so long sadly.

Chip complex delaying Apple's new iMac line, says analyst ( I sure hope not . . . .)

Apple's next-generation iMacs are being held up for business reasons and a minor technical obstacle, according to one Wall Street analyst.
"We wanted to give an update on the Mac business from what we are picking up from our latest supply chain checks," Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a report to clients Monday. "While new the iMac appears to be almost ready for primetime, what is holding it up appears to be business reasons and a potential small technical hurdle."
Specifically, Wu said his sources indicate that external casing changes will likely be modest and that "Apple is in the midst of figuring out whether to power the new iMac with Intel quad-core processors or more high-powered dual-core processors with larger caches."

The same place they put the apple logo on their cinema displays of course.
Epic fail!
It's hard to believe that Apple would do a "stealth" release of new iMacs and minis now, without even dropping a hint three weeks ago when they had the attention of the entire tech press corps at Macworld. That doesn't seem like Apple's MO. If they were that close to being ready they would have dropped a teaser or two.
I hope so, but I've learned to stay pessimistic with anything concerning release dates.
When the rumors of the iMacs being redesigned were swirling in mid-2007, there was speculation that the iMacs would be released with Leopard, or at least have a free/upgrade coupon or something. Well, neither of those happened, and the iMacs were released 2.5 months before Leopard.
There have been updates in late January and late February. Revised PowerBook G4s in January 2005 is one example.
