appleinsider.com — Assuming last minute snags are avoided, Apple in the coming weeks is expect to unveil a family of refreshed iMacs that will round out its 2008 introductions and send the company into the holiday shopping season with one of its strongest product portfolios ever.

Its pretty obvious given how Apple designs its computers.Apples #1 priority when designing something is how it looks.It shows on the mini that is stuck with a small HDD because they didn't want to make it an inch taller, it shows on their desktops that use slow laptop parts, and it explains their s**tty mice.

Honestly, about 5% of MacBook users care about firewire. Then again, for 10 bucks, apple could of put a port (hell, even a 4pin port), and pleased the 5%, but no, they say f**k you, buy a MacBook Pro.

As well as keeping the Firewire the iMac needs a fourth USB port. When you have an iPhone, a printer, and a backup drive plugged in you've no free USB ports. 3 is weak, when you consider the forgotten Mac mini has 4.

Seems like a pretty meaningless update. Still no quad core or blu-ray. Apple have fallen very badly behind in the desktop market.

Or maybe they're just using the term "refresh" as an excuse to bump up the price - i.e. White Macbook in AUD...(adding a superdrive doesn't constitute a $149 increase)
