New iMac, Macbook and Mac Mini: A Rundown

**Apple's Refreshed Mac Lineup: A New Era of Performance and Design**

From Apple's latest lineup of Macs, it's clear that the company is pushing the boundaries of performance and design. With a range of new models that cater to different needs and budgets, there's something for everyone.

Starting with the iMac, the 27-inch model has seen a substantial upgrade without a significant price hike. The base model starts at $1499, featuring a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 500 GB of hard drive storage. However, for those looking for more power, the iMac can be upgraded to include a quad-core 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor or a dual-core 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.

The new iMacs also boast impressive NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics and a sleek, thin design that makes them perfect for anyone looking for an all-in-one computer.

**A Powerhouse at an Affordable Price**

One of the standout features of the new iMacs is their ability to outperform even the most expensive Mac Pro models. With prices starting at just shy of $2000, it's clear that Apple has managed to pack a punch without breaking the bank.

"We're not entirely convinced the 27-inch display is really needed," says an observer, "nor such a massive resolution which will invariably make Windows look far too small." However, when it comes to performance, there's no denying that the new iMacs are fast and capable of handling even the most demanding tasks.

**The New MacBook: A Refreshed Classic**

Meanwhile, the new MacBook has also seen a refresh, with Apple keeping its price point at $999. The latest model features an LED-backlit display, which is still not as impressive as some Windows laptops that can achieve similar results for less than $500.

However, there are other upgrades that make the new MacBook worth considering. These include a glass multi-touch trackpad and a built-in battery with up to 7 hours of usage time. Inside, you'll find a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce 250 graphics processor, and a 160 GB hard drive.

**The Mac Mini: A Refreshed Server Option**

Finally, the Mac Mini has also seen a refresh, with Apple keeping its price point at $599 for the base model. The cheapest version comes equipped with a 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a 120 GB hard drive.

However, for those looking to upgrade, the Mac Mini can be purchased with more powerful specs, including a 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 320 GB hard drive. The most exciting thing about the new Mac Mini is its dedicated server model, which ships with two 500 GB hard drives and Snow Leopard Server.

**A New Apple Remote and Magic Mouse**

To round off the refresh, Apple has also unveiled a new Apple remote and magic mouse. While not directly related to the Mac lineup, these new devices are sure to bring a touch of innovation to any Apple user's life.

In conclusion, Apple's refreshed Mac lineup is a testament to the company's commitment to performance and design. Whether you're looking for an all-in-one computer, a budget-friendly laptop, or a server option, there's something on offer that's sure to suit your needs.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday apple has launched a bevy of new products including a new imac mac mini and a new plastic macbook let's sort through what all has been upgraded and see what's really brand new let's get this one started first let's start with the new imacs the imac has been given a substantial makeover growing in size from 20 inch and 24 inches sizes to respectively a 21.5 inch and a 27 inch along with the much larger screens the already sleek all-in-ones have gotten all aluminum enclosures one of the biggest changes to come to the resolutions the standard 21.5 inch model comes with a huge 1920 by 1080 resolution while the 27 inch model comes with a ridiculous 2560 by 1440 resolution pricing hasn't changed much but the specs have been bumped up nicely the entry-level 21.5 inch model is 1199. with a 3 gigahertz intel core 2 duo processor nvidia 9400m graphics 4 gigabytes of ram and 500 gigabytes of hard drive storage from there you can go to the 1499 model which includes a terabyte of storage and some impressive ati radeon graphics the base 27 inch model is 1699 dollars with the same specs lastly comes what could be a real powerhouse the 27 inch model with a quad core 2.6 gigahertz intel core i5 processor for just shy of two thousand dollars for an additional two hundred dollars on top of that you can get it with the new core i7 2.8 gigahertz processor which should certainly give even the mac pro a run first money not too bad considering it's a very sleek and thin all-in-one computer the imacs have received a substantial upgrade without a substantial rise in price which is always a good thing i'm not entirely convinced the 27 inch display is really needed nor such a massive resolution which will invariably make windows look far too small but i'm going to wait and see before passing judgment one thing i can say for certain is that the new imacs are going to be fast no matter what model you get and the fact that for twenty two hundred dollars you can get an imac that is likely faster than a much more expensive mac pro should definitely raise some eyebrows next is the new plastic macbook it has been neglected from apple's lineup for a while now but it has finally gotten a decent refresh while rumors that price would drop weren't true it has remained at 999 dollars it has got a nice spec bump and a redesign it now has an led backlit display which isn't saying that much as that can be found in windows laptops for less than five hundred dollars it gains a new glass multi-touch track pad as well as a built-in battery just like the macbook pro with supposedly seven hours of battery life inside you'll find the 2.26 gigahertz core 2 duo processor with 2 gigabytes of ram an nvidia geforce graphics processor 250 gigabyte hard drive and the tried and tested super drive the outside of the new macbook has been redesigned with a different polycarbonate as well as a rubberized bottom however it looks very much like the previous bottle and is still easily traceable back quite a few years to the original ibook which isn't necessarily a good thing when paying a thousand dollars for a new computer however it was a decent upgrade and it should keep the macbook alive for at least another year or two before a major refresh lastly but certainly not least we have the refreshed mac mini no price cuts on it either but it has gotten a spike bump as well as a new dedicated server model the cheapest model at 599 dollars has new 2.26 gigahertz core 2 duo 2 gigabytes of ram and a 160 gigabyte hard drive up from a miserly to 120 gigabyte hard drive bump up to paying 799 dollars and you get a 2.5 3 gigahertz core 2 duo 4 gigabytes of ram and a 320 gigabyte hard drive however the most exciting thing has nothing to do with the standard models it's about the new mac mini server the biggest difference between the normal mac mini and the server model is the lack of an optical drive in the server model instead there is an extra hard drive bay allowing it to ship with two 500 gigabyte drives it also ships with snow leopard server and keeps with the rest of the specs as the upgraded 799 dollar mac mini not entirely unreasonable for a thousand dollars so that's it the major refresher the imac macbook and mac mini there was also a new apple remote and magic mouse unveiled as well but for the most part it was all about the new imac personally i'm really liking the 21 inch imac myself just nice to see a refresh for the mac mini and macbook as well so what do you guys think planning on buying any of the new models or have your eye on something else be sure to post in the comments what you think about all this anyway thanks for watching guystoday apple has launched a bevy of new products
