  • New iMac still on track for November/December launch

    Alongside the iPad Mini, Apple also unveiled the new iMac. A stark departure from the previous models, the new iMac comes in a razor thin body that puts most other all-in-ones form other OEMs to shame. The new iMac was not available immediately. Shipping was expected to be around November or December depending on region. However with all the supply issues Apple is going through, there were reports that the new iMac has also fallen victim, and has been delayed till early next year.

    Fortunately for budding customers, that is not the case. The new iMac is still scheduled for its November/December launch. In fact Apple is shipping the 21-inch model right now to its distribution hubs across the world. The 27-inch model will be available by december. Both these will be in Apple Stores around the holiday season just in case you want to be an early adopter.

    However that being said, there is no word on whether Apple will be able to fulfil demand for these. They’ve failed to do so for the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini in the initial launch phase, though in their defence the situation is now a lot better, and iMac isn’t nearly as high in demand as the other two iDevices.

  • Apple iMac and Mac mini updates to retain their current price

    With all the excitement towards the iPad mini launch next, it’s easy to forget Apple makes other products. The products in question is the all in one desktop called iMac and the small form factor PC called the Mac mini. Though not quite the best sellers as the MacBook, they do form an important part of Apple’s arsenal. iMac and Mac mini updates are a near certainty for next week

    Reports are coming in about the pricing on these products. According to 9to5Mac both the iMac and Mac mini will retain their current price. $599, $799, and $999 for the two standard models and single server model for the Mac mini and $1199, $1499, $1699, and $1999 for the iMac. Apple is also reported to offer a 8GB RAM module for the Mac mini and iMac for the first time. Previously it was only 4GB. This means the Mac mini can be upgraded to 16GB and iMac to 32GB of RAM.

    Nothing else is known about the iMac and Mac mini updates. There are isolated reports about a possibility of a Retina Display on the iMac but so far it seems unlikely due to costs and availability. We will find out more on the 23rd when Apple gives out the official details.

     

  • 3.4GHz i7 iMac With 256GB SSD May Be the Fastest Mac Ever

    Apple has started shipping its 3.4GHz i7 iMac with a 256GB Solid State Drive. Macworld recently benchmarked this computer as the fastest Mac they’ve ever tested, even faster than the current Mac Pros. Video after the break. [box] This $2699 BTO iMac takes the top-of-the-line standard configuration iMac—a $1999 27-inch 3.1GHz Core i5 quad-core model with a 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive—and replaces the processor and hard drive. The upgrade to a 3.4GHz Core i7 adds $200 to the price. And the 256GB SSD is an extra $500.

    The 27-inch 3.4GHz Core i7 iMac with SSD is the fastest Mac we’ve tested. The previous Speedmark 6.5 record holder was a build-to-order Mac Pro with a 3.33GHz Xeon Westmere six-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a price of $4074. Add a 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display and the price jumps to $5073.[/box]

    Here’s the video of the mac launching a plethora of apps at the same time with ease.
