Apple Store is down

The UK and US Apple Stores are currently down. New Mac minis and iMacs on the way, perhaps?

The Mac Pro is using Nehalem-based Xeons, so that's definitely of interest. Other than that, it's just the same-ol' Core 2 Duo on the iMac as far as I can tell.

I do like that the Mac mini did get upgraded. It was WAY overdo for it.

The MacBooks also have been upgraded (new SSD options), as well as the MacBook Pro (new SSD options).

Also of interest is that the keyboards included with the iMacs are wired versions of the keyboard that lacks a numeric keypad. The Mac Pro's default keyboard is a wired keyboard WITH a numeric keypad.

Both keypad-less and keypad-full wired keyboards are offered as options on most Apple computers now.

Before anyone goes crying to mommy about this, be aware that you can "upgrade" your wired, numeric keypad-less keyboard to a wired keyboard WITH a numeric keypad for the low, low price of $0.00.

Still no wireLESS keyboard WITH a numeric keypad, though, for those who were wondering.
