It looks like Apple’s decided to grace us with some new iMacs and an updated Mac Mini without making us wait for a major Apple event to get the news.
Brand spanking new iMacs and updated Mac Minis have been released. For the iMac line they now have Backlit Displays, and Quad-Core processors. They come in both a 21.5 and a 27 inch widescreen display.
The Mac Mini
- 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

- 160GB hard drive
- Five USB 2.0 ports

- NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics

But the real news comes with a 999.00 USD price tag. It’s a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard – Server Edition. It features two 500GB hard drives, which means you now have a new option for a home server, that doesn’t include buying a Mac Mini and OS X Server separately.
