Apples ubiquitous “We’ll be back soon” postage note has appeared on the Apple online store today leading many to speculate that the newly refreshed iMac is about to be unveiled.
We reported last week that Apple will be releasing new iMac computers on May 3rd and seeing that the online store is down surely this is the day of the refresh.
It’s not going to be a major overhaul as that was done last year, but you can expect to see a speed upgrade and a new thunderbold port.
Speculation is rife with Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge CPUs top of the likely additions to the range, and some are even speculating a whopping great 30-inch variant an intriguing yet highly unlikely possibility in our book.
Your unlikely to see Blu-ray drives onboard as Steve Jobs is refusing to pay the licensing fee to get the High Definition drives in Apple computers.
Apple has changed graphics card suppliers more time that we care to remember, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see the ATI Radeon 5750 used in most of the current line-up getting either a speed bump or kicked into touch altogether in favour of something from arch rival Nvidia.
The only thing that’s certain is that no-one really knows what Apple has up its sleeve, but they usually have a couple of surprises, we’ll know more when the store comes back online, and you’ll be first to know.
What would like to see in the new iMac’s would new processors and a new port make you sit up and take notice? Or is this another cynical Apple upgrade. All talk and no trousers.
