Apple made a veritable slew of needed updates to their iMac and Mac mini line. And also an update to the MacBook (White). And also a bunch of accessories. Right up front it is worth noting that availability on all the new Macs is fairly immediate, with the exception of the high-end 27″ iMac.
Also note that almost lost in the commotion is the current $899 iMac. This product is still available, it has not been discontinued.
So first, the MacBook. Lots of little tweaks on this reintroduction of an old favorite, but probably the most noticeable change is that now, like all the other Apple notebooks, the battery is built-in.

Next, the new iMac. A slightly large “small” size, now 21.5″ instead of 20″, faster processors with the option of a quad-core processor on the high-end, and other small changes. The biggest change to note is the inclusion of the new, wireless “Magic Mouse” along with the these iMacs now coming with Apple’s wireless BT keyboard. I know in the past I used to stock specially configured iMacs with the wired “long” keyboard with numeric keypad, but I will no longer be doing this. As these stock iMacs come with both a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, it would be kind of arbitrary on our part to stock these with the wired keyboards considering the direction Apple wants to take with these. We should set our customer’s expectations appropriately.
