New, redesigned iMac models could be coming shortly

Matte screen is possibly the only thing that has halted me from update my white 24" imac... c'mon apple get your @r$e$ in g£ar

When will Apple launch the carbon fibre laptops? I had read somewhere that they had filed a patent for it.

It's easy: no matte screen and no quad core == no sale.
Ideally, the high end 24"iMac would have an i5/i7, radeon 4870/4890 and a matte screen option.

Never really considered buying an iMac, but here's my pick of the suggestions already;

-Faster CPUs (Core i5, with i7 at high end)
-Better discreet and dedicated graphics (ATI 4850)
-LED backlit display
-2.1 speakers
-2 More USB ports (don't think we'll see USB 3.0 this time around)
-SD card slot
-Smaller chin!

Regarding BluRay, not gonna see it this time around. If Macs d ever get it, it will debut in the Mac Pro I think.

My wish list for an iMac to replace my Summer '07 model :

Blu-Ray Read/Write/Movies (and iTunes Support)
Quad Core Processors
Discrete improved performance video card
Wireless Keyboard with number pad
New Wireless Mouse (Can't stand the current Apple Mouse)
Additional USB Ports (wish I had more)
Mini Display Port to connect additional external monitor
RAM expandable to 8Gb (4Gb standard)
2TB Hard Drive Option

Oh come on, the G4 flower pots look silly these days and the white iMacs didn't age too well either. I would not expect anything more than CPU bumps, a complete physical overhaul without a major event scheduled to announce it is unlikely.

iMac is so 80's. I would rather have a tower or something with a matte screen.

@ Joanna D: i would say the silver and black models are far more 'clean' and stylish than the White models, which I thought always had a 'clunky' look to them.


What do I want to see? Apple give blu-ray drive option to this new iMac, plus make it an option on mac pro, MacBook pro and mac mini. Oh yes, and an iMac touch. Now that would be awesome.

How about Core i7 (or at least i5) processors? In the Mac Mini?

Hoping for:

- LED backlit screen
- Backlit keyboard with black keys (wired and wireless)
- 2.1 speakers like the LED Cinema Display
- Discrete video on all models
- $100-$200 cheaper than current prices
