Apple Launch New Products

Just thought I would let you know that Apple are about to launch some new products within the next hour, I believe they are going to launch a new mac mini with their new multi media centre to include TV/ freeview, pause and record live tv etc etc ( If the romours are true)!!!!

Their website is closed at the moment as it is updating??? so looks like the launch will be today.

Hope its the mac mini, bought one of these the other week and it is so small its fantastic

    But is this relevant to the Grab It forum? I think the mods should remove this thread.
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.
  • I suspect it was more of a 'heads-up' that the product is gonna be released so you can grab it before others do. I expect there is gonna be high demand and limited initial stock?
  • well the websites up and I don't see any big announcement??


    edited : - parts of the site (as in the store and the .Mac parts are down) - apologies :)

    Well judging by Apples record the first people will be the guinea pigs and teh last few players thee have down have had problems.

    I agree this doesnt belong here as its meant to be for quick bargain.
  • Main Apple website was updated at 7pm today http://www.apple.com

    Highlights include:
    * Intel based iMac (twice as fast as the previous model)
    * Intel based laptop called the MacBook Pro (four times as fast as the previous PowerBooks)
    * Updated iLife 06 (including iWeb software for web publishing)
    * Updated iWorks 06

    It's well worth keeping an eye out for G5 iMacs and G4 PowerBooks, might be able to grap a bargain! Don't forget Apple also have a refurb shop which might have some further reductions following the release of the new Macs:

    Thanks Chococat
    At least someone understands why I posted on here, there will be some good reductions to be had with older models

    That sounds a familiar situation for Apple to be in lately. ;)
