Apple, while keeping up with the times, has decided that it is time to unveil a new set of iMacs to the world. There are two base models — with 21.5-inch and 27-inch version — with the rudimentary upgrades included, but there are also some new additions that might peak your interest too. This time around there are faster processors, improved graphics chips, and a FaceTime HD camera. There is also a Thunderbolt port provided, which will enable these iMacs to transfer data at incredible speeds (assuming the devices that will support Thunderbolt are coming out soon). So what’s included? The 21.5-inch…

Digitimes is reporting that Apple is apparently working on a new MacBook Pro and iMac to launch in the first half of 2G’s+11. The piece claims a new MacBook chassis design, but perhaps most intriguing is an alleged lower price point for the iMac. I love Macs, and swear by their overall superiority in certain areas, but let’s be honest: as it is, they’re too expensive. Any hardware you can get in a Mac, you can generally equivocate in a PC for half the price. Even as a total Mac ‘fanboy’, I can admit that part of what you’re paying for is that wee little apple laser-cut into the chassis. Considering that,…

Sometimes, you’re a BSG fan. Sometimes, you find yourself with an old iMac. Sometimes, you add a Larson Scanner kit. Sometimes, you dare look this good on the internet. And that’s all I have to say about that….

It’s been talked about for a while. It’s been hypothesized, contemplated, dissected, discussed and dismissed, but it might actually see the light of day. Apple clearly feels pretty strongly that MultiTouch is the future of all computing, but the one area of desktop computing has so far remained “untouchable”. What has been clear from the start is that the model of fingertip computing where the user reaches out to the screen is simply not viable, the ergonomics being a huge nightmare. Sure, Apple is testing the waters with its MultiTouch magic pad. For most, this has turned out to be a peripheral…

It’s that time of the product life cycle again: reports are beginning to trickle in of a slight yellow-screen issue with the new iMacs, continuing a now-long tradition of slight yellow-screen issues for Apple. Between, the previous generation of iMac, the iPhone 4, and now this, it would seem Apple just can’t catch a break. But what gives? Apple claimed they had eliminated the problem back in February, with the previous iMac. Did they just forget to apply what they’d learned to this one? Sup, Steve? Granted, the vast majority of users are reporting no real problem – approximately 80% of MacRumors…

Oh, hi there. You okay? You look a little red. Y’know what, that’s probably the burning desire you have to know about everything Apple released yesterday that wasn’t a trackpad. You look bloody awful. Here, let me tell you about this stuff so you can cool down a bit, yeah? Yeah. Let’s go over the key features. The New iMac $1299+ A dual- or quad-core Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 now rocks out with its socks out, meaning the Core 2 Duo is now relegated only to the Mac Mini. Graphics are now discrete, which means dedicated memory on its own card. The screens have adopted the iPad’s IPS technology, giving the iMac…

Apple has hit 200 thousand units sold per week for the iPad. If you’re bad at math, that’s more or less a couple of iPads. Amazingly, this figure is also a pretty big milestone – according to Mike Abramsky, an analyst for RBC Capital Markets, this means the iPad is now outselling the Mac itself. The future of computing is nigh, it seems. Suddenly my Mac Pro seems, like, all ancient and stuff. “We believe Apple is now selling >200k iPads/week, greater than US Macs (est. 110k Macs/week) and just below US iPhone 3GS first quart (246k/week),”said Abramsky, attributing the mega-strong sales to…

Apple’s set to account for 25 percent of global desktop sales growth this year, thanks to strong iMac sales, veteran Mac news website, AppleInsider, tells us this morning. The report cites Caris & Company analyst Robert Cihra, who estimates 15-20 percent growth in the overall PC market for 2010 with desktop sales showing resurgence after 24-months slow decline. …
