iMac Refreshes Coming Soon. Real Soon.
Jason Tsay
Many authorized resellers of Apple desktops have begun reporting that the 21.5 inch iMacs have been running clean out of stock. The main reason Apple didn’t use i3 processors on the Macbook Pro 13” was that the cost would be higher due to the fact that they would have to have both integrated and discrete graphics (Intel doesn’t allow NVIDIA integrated graphics). We’re not sure what Apple is doing differently this time but I’m willing to bet the main difference will be processor changes to the 2010 i cores or maybe even AMD? Advice from Apple to resellers is to “keep inventories lean.” With recent leaks of a so-called Magic Trackpad, it is possible that this new input device will make an appearance as an alternative to the Magic Mouse.
