“iMac stocks across Apple’s reseller chains are running down, suggesting the company is closing in on a refresh for its range of all-in-one desktops,” Andy Space reports for 9 to 5 Mac.
“If whispers emerging from Apple partners are to be believed, the product upgrade may not be immediate – stocks of the product still exist, but supplies of the product are wearing thin. This suggests the product may see an update as soon as this month,” Space reports.
Apple’s next round of iMacs are expected to receive “Intel’s new 45-nanometer Penryn processor inside the machines. The Mac mini is expected to receive a similar treatment, with the addition of an improved graphics chip,” Space reports.

Maybe there will be an option for matte displays? Fingers crossed!
They can’t come soon enough! Geesh…this has taken a while!
Make it quad !
I forgot!
And with a better 20” monitor, please…
Multi-touch track pad and illumination built into the keyboard, please. Also, a low-end key accessible zoom built into the iSight.
A little thinner would be nice. A slot for
a replaceable flash drive.
Hopefully Apple will learn it’s lesson and put TRUE 8-Bit display’s in the new models. Apple’s putting 6-Bit displays in the current generation and trying to pass them off as 8-Bit displays is shameful.

I bought my 24″ iMac in November and it is terrific. It gets used all of the time by my family. I imagine that I might have a touch of envy when the new iMac models are released, but no regrets about my purchase. After getting by with a hand-me-down Dell for several years after my 1996 PowerMac bit the bullet, the last five months of Windows-free computing have been wonderful. I’d rather have an old Mac than a new PC any day.
Hopefully will Apple will deliver a 30″ iMac one of these days. When it comes to display real estate, bigger is better. And that would be a great display size for convergence as a second HD TV.
Quad Core AND Touch screen?!?
Can we PLEASE get an iMac that shoots little foam missiles at salespeople when they enter my office?
Maybe use the iSight to “zero-in” on the “target”?
Oh yeah… and TRUE multiple display function.
I’ve got ALOT of salespeople entering my office.
I dwindled two iMacs myself last night at the Natick ma store
“They can’t come soon enough! Geesh…this has taken a while!”
-that’s what she said…
“I might have a touch of envy “
-should have got your end flew envy shot
“Quad Core AND Touch screen?!?”
-try the Chicken Ranch (and take plenty of cash)
Apple! Please put a faster GPU in the iMac. Please!
They need to get the S-IPS panels back in the 20″ models like what they had in the previous white iMacs.
It’s just another obvious sign of global warming.
” . . . an iMac that shoots little foam missiles at salespeople . . .”
C’mon. Don’t wuss out. Caps of muriatic acid that explode on contact with human skin. Not enough to wound. Just enough to leave an indelible mark. So you can track them like deer.
Hopefully the lack of ram as standard will be at least doubled.
Better video board and larger shared L2 Cache would be welcomed changes.
The monitors will display 1,000,001 colors. Apple will claim that is millions of colors. Frivolous lawsuit will follow.
Just my $0.02

Yeah, you’re right.
How about a Paintball Gun… it would leave a mark, and also “sting” a little. Maybe it would make them think twice about stepping foot into my office. LOL
No new features except thinner and new chips

I WON’T buy a 6 bit. unless it’s an AMIGA.Hey what time is it? 1985? Maybe I want the smaller size mac. It’s also time for blu-ray!
A new Mac mini would be nice.
Especially with faster graphics. The current GPU is a DOG.
I’m itching to connect one of those puppies into my HDTV for livingroom picture viewing, web surfing and even some gaming. Call of Duty is trippy on a 40″ monitor! ;^)
“Hopefully the lack of ram as standard will be at least doubled.”
twice as less?
“Call of Duty is trippy on a 40″ monitor!”
If you dominated Call of Duty network play, would that be a LAN mine?
