Citing “people close to Apple,” Kasper Jade reports for AppleInsider that Apple’s “earlier plans to offer Blu-ray technology on the new all-in-one desktops may have been pulled back just before [Apple’s next-gen iMac] systems went into product last month.”
“Either way, it’s believed that the technology would have found its way into the new models largely in the form of build-to-order options, given steep pricing still associated with Blu-ray drives,” Jade reports.
“Around the same time, others with connections to the Mac maker have shared word that Intel’s recently released Core i7 ‘Clarksfield’ quad-core mobile processors may find their way into the new iMac line in some capacity, making the new models the first consumer-oriented Macs with four processing cores,” Jade reports.
