I am stuck on a 8 year old windows pc
Lol me too. Need that stuff. When does Snow Leopard come? Do we know that?
Got a tip for us?

I can see it now "The All-New iMac Commercial Ad" haha I wish but I do not think it will happen. There will be Apple Commercials but not one on a new product. That would be sweet if they did that but not going to happen. I hope there will be one on a typical Tuesday.
Sadly, I agree. I doubt that there will be anything new today
At least I can still hope Unless it a secret which I doubt. I looked at all the superbowl ads and apple has 2.Sadly, I agree. I doubt that there will be anything new today
Given that the Macbook line is now completely in-line with that of the Macpro and iMac (all aluminium build) then the style won't be revised ... therefore its not technically "all-new" just an internal tech-refresh ... they've done it before ...its not like its going to be a big new design style (like unibody was) so i can see them just popping up a nice new ad in a high-profile scene (to get some visibility)
Maybe we're all deluding ourselves and getting hopes up but i was disappointed with Macworld so i'll take it this time .... i have fingers crossed

I'm pretty sure the updated iMacs will look the same as the current models as the unibody mb/mbp has finally achieved to match the iMacs current design with the glass and black bezel look. Only the mac pro (desktops) and mac minis will need to update their casings to match the rest of the line of products.
I'm very sure that the imacs will get updated to i7, as there is no new notebook cpu variant that the iMac can adopt or speed bumps.
I7 is very much doable, possibly their highest end model being a 30" to fit the i7 in with room for cooling, especially when the screens go led backlighting which will create more room and cause much less heat.

No i7s. Intel just released C2Q processors which are made for all-in-one desktops. And no 30", yet, becouse of economy issues and it's price. No one would pay over 3000$ for iMac becouse for same money you can get Mac Pro.
Why would the 30" iMac cost $3000? If anything it will cost the same as the current high end or just a couple hundred more.
Led backlighting is starting to replace ccfl variants while actually costing cheaper with the newer technology. Led backlighting is much cheaper to produce nowadays with superior backlighting and just look at the new 24" led cinema display, it's the same price as the 23" acd while being much superior with the h-ips panel + led backlighting.
Not to mention i7 is pretty cheap on their own.
Okay, maybe not 3000$ but at least 2500$. 24" LED costs 849 and 30$ ACD costs 1 849. If 30" comes it must be the real high end iMac with best hardware ever. So yeah it costs way too much.
Is it confirmed that apple has superbowl ads for today? Does somebody have a link that confirms that they DO have an ad? Thanks. I hope they actually have something planned!
Initial Lynnfields are 95 W, they'll likely do a 65 W version later. It may be that the 65 W Penryns are speed bumped and Apple will use those in the iMac in late 2009, then the update after that could bring 65 W Lynnfields.
There's not much reason besides heat and differentiation to use 65 W quads in the whole lineup, since they cost about as much as mobile dual-cores.
55 W 3.33 GHz I'd say is quite possible.
Interesting...
No Core i7, due to too much heat.
There have been new notebook CPUs since the iMac, both dual-core and quad-core.
Just a reminder, you guys need to take into account that all the future entry/mid-level Nehalem CPUS (i.e. other than the high-end Bloomfield and the Xeons) have nearly all of the traditional northbridge integrated into the CPU, so the TDP value is going to be higher than normal. It will be important to evaluate heat/power on a CPU+chipset platform level --- not solely the CPU.
The reason for Nehalem mobile CPUs having strangely high TDPs. Apparently the northbridge is ~10 W.
Would a "95 W" Lynnfield still be be hotter than a 65 W Penryn?
Is there any confirmation that apple WILL have commercials during the superbowl? Provide a link if possible.
No? We never know anything before release...
What would the commercial be, anyway? They won't release anything today, and so they're not going to tell us two days in advance.
I'd gladly pay $2599 for a 30" led backlit 3.2ghz i7 core, 8gb ram, user replaceable hdd, (bluray drive wouldn't hurt).
Think about it, even if the 30" led acd costs $1599 (but this is retail price, I'm sure it costs apple less than half to produce it) on top of that the i7 core is retail ($299-$599, I'm sure apple gets a nice hefty discount from intel), in which apple can more than easily keep the higher end iMac the same price.
Hell even at $2599 + student discount that one hell of a bad ass deal.
LCD is a display technology, LED is a backlight technology.... CCFL is the other backlight technology
But the 30" does not use LED yet
All monitors use LCD panels, LOL.
But the updated 30" will incorporate led backlighting and I think your confusing yourself with oled technology which is still at least 5 years away from now.
my monitor just went black , now I am stuck on a 8 year old windows pc with a 10 year old monitor. It is about time apple update their imacs
