  • New iMacs, MacBooks coming?


    Eric Savitz, at the Tech Trader Daily blog at Barron's Online, reports that Wedge Partners, an "independent equity analysis firm with a focus on the technology and media industries," is claiming that Apple is weeks away from an announcement of redesigned iMacs and minor changes to the Mac Book line.

    According to Barron's, Wedge Partners
    ... assert in a note today that the company will release both new iMacs and new MacBooks “in the next several weeks.”

    Wedge sees a redesigned iMac with a “thinner, organic design, likely with smoothed or rounded edges. The MacBook redesign “is likely to be limited,” Wedge asserts.
    Price cuts are also expected ahead of the Windows 7 release and busy holiday season. While the rumor mill churns wildly, especially late in the year and has been dead wrong more often than right, a report from a financial observer should carry a little more weight than the standard fanboi fantasy. These people get paid - a lot - to get it right.

    AppleInsider notes the Barron's report and reviews last month's vague but interesting rumors about new audio/video authoring capabilities on the iMac and a feature that has supposedly "long been on the wish-lists of many Mac users."

    I'll be accepting guesses on just what that might be in comments. What's been long on your list?

      It's time for an iMac refresh so I see that happening. I LOVE my aluminum iMac so it doesn't matter a bit that it is going to be 2 yrs old not too long from now. I have no need to upgrade, it does everything really well. I'll never need more then 4gb of ram and the HD can go as big as I want so with 2.4ghz processor it does just fine. I'm a "gotta be first to have it" guy too so I KNOW I love my iMac.......

      I was already to buy an iMac Thursday morning till I read this post and now I am torn between waiting or saying "ahh what the hell", but I know that I will regret it as they will put a better GFX card in. Now I have to decide how long to wait..

      True. First Mac I bought was an iBook G4 then a few weeks later the MacBook dropped. At first I was pissed but I love my iBook so I got over it pretty quick. Plus I have 4 friends with MacBooks and all had problems. One had the HD die in the first year. Luckily I've had my iBook for almost 4.5 years and not one single issue so I'm thinking things work out for the best.

      BUT I will definitely do my research this time.. I really don't want to buy another laptop and then in a few weeks a brand new version drop again. I love my iBook but lately I've been running into issues with having a non Intel Mac so I'm thinking its finally time to think about upgrading.
