    Snow Leopard later this year, I reckon then they will release new iMacs with maybe Core i& Intel and NVIDIA graphics. But I agree, for the last Keynote, it was pretty poor.

    The news item is really more about what Apple failed to announce...

    No update for the long overdue and outdated Mac Mini. The expected 9400M chipset didnt appear. Not a lot was actually announced.

    Apple fail...

    Re: News - Apple launches 17in MacBook Pro

    Wasn't the plan to put more focus onto separate, smaller events?

    So that they get more control over their product releases etc

    It would explain the rather lacklustre keynote - if they were to release new mac minis then i'd guess it would be a special event - not macworld which they've all but pulled out of.

    So their 'Pro' users are now too stupid to know how to change a battery?

    Another money spinner for Apple.

    More than just that aidanjt, their Pro users don't demand much for their money either.

    No way that would be able to replace my work desktop which cost substaintually less too!
