MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

I'm betting iMac/Mini updates before Xmas... that makes more sense.

Apple should market the Mini for Plasma/LCD owners this year as a home entertainment integration unit.

Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Maybe new laptops...? Or something with Multi-Touch!

or finally that coffe maker i've been promised...

The first guy is right. iMacs in November, MacPro early next year.

While the MacPro is technically close to a new version, they always come out at the beginning of the year and usually it's a once a year thing. The last MacPro came out in January this year, but wasn't actually available until quite a bit later than that. If there is a new MacPro before next year, it would only be because it's completely new tech or some other unusual situation like that.

Can I FINALLY have an iTele that teleports organic materials?

About damn time.

Ocho MacPro?

Apple would probably hear from Chad "I'm Screwing Up Cubert's Fantasy Football Team" Johnson's lawyers.

I think a digital music playback device. Something that is portable, and maybe a little smaller than a boom box.

BillyBob right; Harvey wrong.

Well if the next Mac Pro is a dual Nehalem, then it will probably be summer 2009, so it might get announced in January.

I say the mini and the pro first - they are the ones that can use the new monitor(s) and the video the most - the iMac is relatively fresh.

Nov 10 is not a Tuesday.

The workstation versions of Nehalem are supposed to ship before 1 Jan. Thus new Mac Pros at MWSF is probable.

The mobile versions of Nehalem are not supposed to ship before summer 2009. So look for new MBPs (and maybe MBs) at that time.

Jeremy is right.

"The first guy is right. iMacs in November, MacPro early next year."

I think I missed something. Where did Sellers come up with November 10th?

I don't believe the dual socket Nehalems will be out in time for MWSF

Ready and waiting for the new Mac Pro. I would buy one today, but being 9 or 10 months into the product cycle of the current Mac Pro, I will wait. Besides, I only upgrade every 4 or 5 years, so I want it to be as FRESH as possible when I do. (Gonna miss that old G5 PowerMac).

"a completely revamped Cinema Display line (20, 24 and 30 inch models)".

No doubt all with glossy only screens... for all the amateurs that think they are pros.

rdbvideo...

You're probably right.

I've been waiting, what almost 2 years for new monitors to be released.

Just this morning my trusty 10 year old Mitsubishi Diamond Pro CRT went.... zzzzzzzzt... zzzzzzzzzzzzztt.. zzztttzzzzzttttt... with a little puff of smoke. Drat. RIP

Sorry Apple, Viewsonic's getting my money. Ordered a 26" VP2650wb. Matte screen, 3ms refresh. Yeah, a matte screen.

Unibody MBP 17" hopefully (If not sooner)

First. There is nothing newer at the moment to replace the current CPU in the Mac Pro.

Second. The Mac Pro has been updated in January for the past three years.

Stenar is more right than anybody - 10th November is not a Tuesday.

How about new cinema displays with higher resolution? I want new ones with more pixels per inch...

"That said, I also think Apple will unveil a completely revamped Cinema Display line (20, 24 and 30 inch models) with LEDs, iSights and built-in speakers," Sellers writes.

So, is Apple going to:

1. Launch a whole line of glare-gloss screens, like the current 24" LED Cinema, or:

2. See the error of their ways, and go matte?

Will buy a mini if they update them...won't if they don't.

BTW, if you cross Mac Mini with Mobile Me you get Mini Me!

I demand a matte mini!!

OK, maybe not... but come on Apple give us the choice of a matte iMac... I've been hanging on to my old iMac G5 for over a year waiting for you to see some sense.

The professor's right ...
The Skipper's right ...

It will be one or the other, but not both, and definitely one will be before the other one, but not the other way around or vice-versa. Unless I'm wrong, then it will be what one or both of them said.

Whatever configuration if it uses multitouch screens it better be matte and not gloss. Finger prints show up way too easily with glossy screens. By the end of the week the screen is matte.

This article is just guesswork, not news...

Nooo,
you are all getting this wrong. The next thing they'll release is a MacBook3G with Firewire! Think of all the people who pledged to buy one. The first 30,000 units are already sold. LOL
Seriously, my money is on a new Mini (or Nano?), while the iMac will get Nvidia graphics to make the most of Snow Leopard. That makes sense during the Christmas season.

Still waiting on core i7 Mac Pro. Seems like apple could care less about the high end market at this point. Making professional users wait over a year for an update is a little ridiculous.
