New NVIDIA-based iMacs Imminent? More Hints.

Over the past week, there have been an increasing number hints that the long-awaited iMac revisions are indeed imminent. Resellers have had low stocks of iMacs and educational Apple sales reps have been authorized to give special pricing on the current iMacs.

One image sent to us even claims that new Apple marketing materials describe the new iMacs with "High-performance NVIDIA graphics":



If true, this is consistent with expectations that the new iMacs will be based on the NVIDIA motherboards like the newest MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

Finally, Swedish reseller Dustin.se appears to have a new placeholder for an unusual iMac configuration that is labeled as "News". The configuration itself doesn't match an existing configuration, but doesn't necessarily represent any new features either. The price is curiously listed higher than the other existing iMacs, and may just represent a placeholder or mistake on the part of the reseller.

Could this be the day?

As for some specs I guess:
3.0GHz Quad
Nvidia 9400M, 9600M, and Nvidia 9800M
4GB RAM standard?
same or close to the current price

Could this be the start of sly releases onto the Apple website without an actual event?

What is wrong with "silent" releases? :confused:

Did I say there was?

Apple said they don't really need events to release new products (in particular MWSF) and the popularity of the Apple website and Apple Stores mean they can get enough publicity through that way.

Eh, 4GB ram standard? Maybe a slight chance of that in the high end, but more likely in an upgraded Mac Pro.
Maybe the new iMacs will support the option of 8GB's of ram.

We got those flyers here months ago.

It's not really a new development.

I don't know if we'll see a silent release for these new iMacs. I would think Apple would want to show off the new nvidia GPU's and how they compare to the current ones.

Not a good enough reason for an event.

The 9x00 series is just a rebranded 8x00. As in they share similar/same (G9x) cores. Not anything one should crow about.
