New iMacs Still Coming Before Holidays?
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I'm thinking that they will wait to update the iMacs at MacWorld. Maybe along with the trackpad of the MBAIR
I am in the same position - I have a 3.5-year-old Rev B iMac G5 that is starting to feel s-l-o-w. I am getting antsy to upgrade but have decided to hold out for Nehalem. From everything I've read about it, it will be a performance leap worth waiting for. Given that I only upgrade every few years, might as well make sure my next Mac will be a good one for that entire time. But it looks like it's going to be another year before the iMac-ready chips are available (Clarksfield in Q409, apparently). By then it would almost certainly come with Snow Leopard and a new version of iLife preinstalled. I can wait if you can! Just stay away from Apple stores, lest you start playing with one of the iMacs and lose your resolve

Definitely wait. A G5 should hold you fine till then. Quad-Core may be in the iMac by then as well.
The Holidays?
Now a bit of topic, but still not
When is the famous "The Holidays"? Does it start on a specific date each year, or is it more like "around Christmas"? Or can it mean several different times of year? I mean... isn't there like a bunch of holidays each year?
I'm from Denmark, so what do I know

I would say from a US perspective that when they say holidays they mean Christmas. Which means they should be out by black Friday. (The Friday after thanksgiving.)Now a bit of topic, but still not

That old rumor?
What ever happened to that old rumor of patents that Apple made of the MacBook dock in the screen. It looked like an iMac, but you slid your laptop in the side. I would love to have that

I hope not, the reason I buy an iMac is because I like sitting here watching television, and have it is as the complete device (as to avoid having to hang out with my flat mates).
I would lose my backups. Currently I FW my time machine and would not be happy to have to switch it to USB... which is already eaten up by my keyboard, mouse, ipod, and cameras
Whats next, forcing us to buy their overpriced wireless backup for time machine?
I want to see a 27" $2,199 iMac. With that new 27" monitor out there its only a matter of time before its an iMac
Here is the new wireless keyboard that will come with the new iMac with glass multi-touch track pad
great ideia

That is exactly what I want. Looks awesome!
Looks good, in theory. As long as the track pad's better than the annoying thing on my G4 iBook.
I haven't gotten to test the Glass Trackpad on the notebooks yet, but my Multi-Touch Macbook Air trackpad is amazing.

Don't take away the number pad, or are we now saying that is now a Pro feature?
I'd prefer a completely separate external glass track pad.

whoah that looks nice
1) One of the bajillion threads on the subject shows the guts of the macbook and why getting a FW plug in would have been difficult (i.e., drop something else). The iMac doesn't have that limited space.
2) The rumor suggests only speedbumps, which means no case redesign. Why would they drop a FW port just on a speed bump?
3) That said, if they introduce new ones w/o FW, I'm jumping on a refurb immediately.
