Rumored Product Introductions Today: Mac Minis, iMac, AirPort, Time Capsules? [Updated]

[Perrumpo]

Why does the new macbook still weigh more than the 13" Macbook pro? Isn't aluminum heavier than plastic?

Perhaps the plastic needs to be thicker in order to be strong enough.

Anyone notice that the power adapter changed on the lower-end model? Looks like the macbook air one.

Very strange. I was wondering why there were 60W rumors when there was already one out there. They just changed the connector.

That's gonna be confusing.

Store Is Up!!!

Store Is Up!!!

Presumably, the fact the trackpad is there, adding these controls is a simple software update ... they have to save something for the 22nd

Just wish the store would come back up! Talk about teasing us!!

I suppose. Just seems like something they could ship with pretty easily.

Nice the new 27 iMac comes with 4 memory slots! And Apple only wants 200 to upgrade from 2x2 to 4x2 for 8Gb

Yeah I was surprised it was only $200. I may have to do that.

Something lovely: For 27-inch iMac, they finally supporting Video in!

http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html
says "supports input from external DisplayPort sources (requires cables and adapters, sold separately)".

Does it mean now I can connect my MacBook (late 2007) into the new iMac as the secondary display also?

I have a MBP (17", Santa Rosa, June 2007) and wonder the same thing. If the answer is yes I'm not sure I´ll survive.

Mac Mini up to a 2.66Ghz Processor...still no 8GB CTO available but we know that it works....

 

[whooleytoo]

"Two" button mouse? Booo! Otherwise it's gorgeous, mind...

 

[bradleyjx]

One more thing...

The Apple Remote has been upgraded.

 

[Xtremehkr]

$2618 for a 2.8GHz i7 with 2TB drive and Applecare. There's no point in getting additional RAM through Apple.

Sold.

Why is the iMac £949 if its $1099 in the states

I didn't make the iMac purchase before, just for this reason. I want to own a great Mac desktop, but it's totally unacceptable that I couldn't make use the big iMac screen when I need to operate the Macbook at home.

Most people hasn't noticed, but there is a revamped Apple Remote too. It's metal and smaller.

 

[Perrumpo]

Yeah I was surprised it was only $200. I may have to do that.

Why would you pay $200 for 2x2GB added in? Much cheaper elsewhere.

 

[Shivetya]

Well if I don't do the quad, the 3.33 and 4850 looks good too.

 

[YMark]

Is there any reason to purchase the low end Macbook Pro now that the Macbook has been upgraded? What does the additional $200 for the Pro get you?

 

[rogan]

The uk MacBook price has risen by £50...

Wish I'd just bought an old one now...

I enjoy wasting money. It is my favorite hobby.

Time Capsule

Where's the new Time Capsule?

I was hoping they reconfigured to fix the "18 months breakdown problem"...
