iMacs - update coming? I want to buy!

[owen-b]

I have a Powerbook 15" with a 100GB drive and it's no longer enough for me, both in terms of storage space and grunt power (I have a lot of photos and CS3 to run...). So, I'm in the market for an iMac I think. A Mac Pro is too rich for my blood, a 24" iMac looks lovely but stupidly big, so a 20" with Crucial.com RAM up to 2 or 3GB, the largest possible Apple-fitted hard drive and a couple of firewired drives for system backup and extra archiving would be fine.

Question: looks like they might be upgrading the iMac soon. Rumours say end of June - but historically will that just be an announcement or will they go on sale in the UK the same day? Anyone any ideas at all if they will be full Jonathan Ive-style redesigns or just tweaked upgrades?

You might want to wait for WWDC

Yeah I read that site but all it did was pose questions. Just wanted the opinion of real people as opposed to journalists.

I also have a PowerBook, and I'm thinking of upgrading, but I won't before WWDC.

The refreshed iMac, currently on track to arrive by the end of June according to sources, will feature just 20- and 24-inch models.

All just rumors. Apple is always tight lipped.
I would guess by the end of June.

Fair enough. Will just sit and wait.

God it's going to be a long wait. I really really want that big screen, massive RAM and superfast processors

It usually takes them a while to kick out you out of the Apple store.

I like your sig. One day we'll have apples the size of credit cards and screens that manifest in mid air, projected like holograms. oooh.
