    New iMacs

    Apple have just updated the iMac's its an aluminium black glass number. Looks quite tasty.

    Updated specs, and they've replaced the 17in model with a 20in one.

    iLife 08 out as well.

    More info coming

    Keyboard looks good, but it doesn't seem to have a numpad which may hold it back.

    Not sure about the iMac, the black just doesn't look right. Could be a grower I guess. I do like that keyboard though, the old one collected hair and bits of dead skin too easily.

    The .Mac update hardly seemed worth it.

    What's weird is that in the promo video/ad thing it shows the keyboard as having a number pad...

    Yeah the mini really looks good at 399 now

    The wireless keyboard looks stunning. I'm really tempted to get one for my mini.

    mac mini is great value. Just picked up two.

    question is when will we see the mini in black.

    Love apple or hate apple, the apple hardware is well designed and pleasing to the eye

    I wish they would use standard keyboard layouts though and not have such a big apple logo on.

    I've been look at the new iLife and iWork and they are stunning. The new excel option numbers looks great. Its what MS should have been looking to do years ago.

    Just downloading a trial now to try it out.

    iKonia: Did you get the new version or a refurb? I'm waiting for all those who bought one this week to send them back so I can get some nice cheap refurb action for a car pc

    ... I've just ordered the new Keyboard - I want one for my desktop

    I really want to see a Mac Pro refresh soon

    I doubt there will be a mac pro refresh as it was only changed very recently, tho there was an addition yesterday of some raid option I believe.

    The mini can only be hooked up to the 23incher as it doesn't have the special dvi port for the 30
