….and updated Airport Express and Time Capsule.

In short what has been introduced today:

  • Apple today announced updates to its iMac and Mac mini desktop lines, including a 24-inch iMac and a Mac mini with new NVIDIA integrated graphics. For the same $1,499 price as the previous generation 20-inch iMac, the new 24-inch iMac delivers a 30 percent larger display, twice the memory and twice the storage. Apple also claims up to five times better graphics performance in the new Mac mini with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics..
  • Apple today introduced the new Mac Pro using Intel “Nehalem” Xeon processors and a next-generation system architecture. The new Mac Pro starts at $2,499 and features “the latest graphics technology and an updated interior that makes expansion even easier than before.”

and a small surprise:

  • Apple has quietly increased the processor speed of their mid-range 15″ MacBook Pro from 2.53GHz to 2.66GHz and the top-of-the-line model from 2.8GHz to 2.93GHz.. The change is unlikely to be noticed in day to day operation but is a distinct modification from the original release. They have also begun offering 256GB SSD upgrade options for the 13″ aluminum MacBook and 15″ MacBook Pro as well.
