Apple rolling out new iMacs

Latest set of rumors lurking around on the Internet say that Apple is rolling out new iMacs and it will be having the latest Core i5 or i7 processors inside. It is also said that the new computers will sport the new Thunderbolt processor. These new set of iMac might be out by May 3, Tuesday and Apple will be announcing them shortly before bringing them in the market for sale.

Apple has been a bit late with the update for iMac. First PCs having the new processors were out in January 2011, and Apple shipped their MacBooks which had the Sandy Bridge architecture shortly. Apple hasn’t upgraded their iMac line up; it has been running on older hardware since June last year.

Apple might be late to bring out iMacs having the new processor but in a way, it is lucky too.Intel said in January that there was a flaw in the architecture of these new processors and shipments of some motherboards were stopped because of this. Some hardware that was already shipped was recalled.

So will you be buying these new iMacs having the faster processor? Or you are happy with the older models? Some say that the previous iMac is already fast enough and hence more speed isn’t a priority. But do let me know what you think by posting your comments below.
