in Future Apple Hardware edited January 2014
over at gizmodo.com they saw that there will be iMacs updates this Tuesday. From the website geeksugar.com was were the rumor came from. This website also was the one who guessed the new MacBook and macbook pros. They saw there will be only hardware upgrades. I'm guessing this:

-2.4ghz(basic), 2.5ghz(better 20 with option for 2.6), 2.6ghz(basic 24"), quad 2.4( better 24)

-320gb hdd 20", 500gb 24", 750 better 24"

-1gb ram basic, 2gb ram all other

-better iSight camera



What do you think there updates are going to be

And



Is this a hoax or real???

    I was going to order a refurb friday and I think I'm going to still because if its just a speed bump with the cpu its nothing to get excited over.the new cpu's out now are not much faster then the current core2duo and I have a lot of HDD space on my network.The only thing i would like to see upgraded is the gpu,

    Not unless they're switching to desktop processors, which would require a redesign.

    The quad, and no mention of GPU makes it sound iffy.



    Std. 2gb ram - everyone asks for it, but Apple usually does this with two 1gb sticks instead of one 2gb. Upgrading to 4gb means buying (elsewhere) two 2gb sticks and getting rid of the two 1gbs, instead of just buying one 2gb to add in. BTO w/ just 1gb is probably the best deal.

    Sorry, my response was to the spec.s in the other post. Unclear quoting.



    The comment about included ram was just general. Other posters always seem hot for more included ram, but it's always almost cheaper to get the minimum and add third party ourselves.

    2 gbs of RAM is plenty for most iMac users. For iLife apps, web browsing and iWork that'll be plenty. Making 2 gbs standard on all iMacs would be a nice feature improvement for this computer IMO.



    If you're doing CS 3 work then it's probably a different story.

    Well, I'm excited about an upgrade.... My wife has given the green light to spend our IRS stimulus check on a new iMac...



    I personally am not too concerned about HD or CPU speed bumps...



    By in-large the biggest negative across all the reviews I have read about the current iMac is the underpowered video card so lets hope for an upgraded one!
