iBook and iMac SE

Spymac provides hints of upcoming iBook and iMac Special Edition (SE) models. Details, however are lacking.

Apple has introduced previous SE models starting back in 1999.

Why even bother posting rumors from the site that created AND propagated the iWalk rumors, and other fine hoaxes? That's a pretty crummy way to try to gain popularity, and now they're posing as a real rumour source. I think they should be shunned.

i dont personally think that apple is going to introduce se models... i think that this was only a fad that affected the original imacs and ibooks.

like.. for instance, the se imacs and powerbooks were specially colored... how would apple change around its imac? and anyways.. it looks like the port on the existing imac are pretty close together.. unlike the original imac that had space in the port area...

maybe apple will release dual processor imacsk, and give em some special name or sumthin? just a thought...

We just had a cross site flame war going on with SpyMac which started because people on the MacRumors forum were trash talking SpyMac on a regular basis, people like you. It ended peacefully and I think everyone wants to keep it that way. Try not to start it up again.

Besides, SpyMac has, beleive it or not, actually provided some acurrate rumors. So they're first big rumor was a fiasco, let it pass and move on. Arn posts the rumors he finds, because that's exactly what they are, it really shouldn't matter all that much where they come from.

Yes... some people dislike MacOSrumors. some dislike Spymac. some dislike Macrumors.

As dukestreet stated... let's avoid a full out rumor site jihad and instead focus on technology we all want today that we can't have until tommorrow. :)

I didn't even know there was a Mac Rumors / Spymac flamewar. I wish someone would have told me, so I could have been around for it. What would Macrumors - heck, what would the whole Internet be without flamewars? I'd say it would be boring as hell. Personally I need a good flamewar every other week or so, because otherwise I would just slip into an All-Hail-Jobs coma like around 20% of the people on this site already have.

[edit: seriously... let's stay on topic.... :) ]

Thank you,
Alex

(And to make this post on-topic: iBook and iMac SEs would suck! That is all.)

Ok, I know that everyone has already responded to the flamebait, but I have to as well. Look, everyone has opinions, and the fact it that uninformed opinions are just stupid comments meant to insight a pie throwing contest. SpyMac either got played, or they played us. Big friggin deal. It was very entertaining, and wel all loved it, just some of us won't admit it. Now since then they have been very good in their rumor postings. Hey they called the eMac, and noone saw that coming. So, be careful who you pick on. Some of us have had issues with them, but we recently kissed and made up. So tread with caution, or you may be shunned.

Now on the topic....
Did a little diggin, and there is some validity to these rumors. May not be for this upgrade, but the rumor that I am now hearing is that the special edition will have the G4!!! Cannot confirm the speed, but it will be at a price point that is attractive to consumers and pros that want a smaller footprint that the Ti. No, I don't think that will steal sales from the Ti, but it could impress consumers to the iBook that have never gone to a portable before. :cool:

Arn, you bastard. :)

Ok... regarding the topic... I think a SE souped-up iBook would be very welcome. Personally, I far prefer the iBook form factor to the TiBook. In fact... I would prefer a smaller portable if they would make one.
