Looking like a company desperatly searching through the parts bin in the hope of coming up with something that might attract new business.![]()
Damnit. The Canadian versions just got $50 more expensive, all across the board. I sure hope that's just a glitch, or I'm going to be majorly disappointed.
I am in the same boat - the ram is the same on mine but should I make the 1 hour trip for a 200mhz increase in processor speed.
Erm. No. It's Intel refreshing the CPU range.
Your point being what. The only offering Apple is able to make is a minor upgrade by one of their component manufacturers.

If that's all it takes to whet your appetite then your more easily pleased as a consumer than I. For most people a minor speed bump will make almost zero impact on their computing needs.
Broadwell got delayed. Deal with it. In the meantime Apple have installed the best Intel have to offer, and decreased some prices.
You'd rather they'd left the range alone so you could rant about no updates, Broadwell being delayed and higher prices?

Absolutely not - I'm more than happy with my mid-2011 iMac. It's yet to break sweat and will stay current for many more years to come.
I'm probably not the type of consumer Apple likes i.e. I can think for myself and don't get swept along by all the hype Apple loves so much.
It's one of the reasons they have become so successful. Just look at the queues when there's a product launch. They are masters at the product psychology and the younger you are the easier you fall for it.
Don't get me wrong, I think Apple make a good product but I'm way past the age where my head get's turned by the latest bit of tech.
Me either. I was perfectly happy with my 2011 MBP. Shame the GPU was made out of chocolate!
