Macs Climb The Core Duo LadderApple announced upgrades yesterday to it's entry-level desktops, moving the Mac Mini line to all Intel Core Duo-based, and the iMac line to all Core 2 Duo-based. "George Swords, marketing manager for PowerMacPac, a Portland, Ore.-based Apple specialist, said the iMacs had previously been selling "ridiculously hot. Really, really selling well." About 60 percent of the early adopters of the Intel-based iMacs were previous Mac users who were upgrading, and "the rest are ex-PC people," he added." The Minis have been making their mark here at CMP, where they're appealing for their ease-of-swappability with low-priced LCD displays. Look for more Apple announcements on the consumer side next week. UPDATE: HP also refreshed it's client line yesterday, with new notebooks, desktops and displays. UPDATE: Over at The Big Picture, Barry Ritholtz suggests his wish list for Apple's Tuesday announcements. Posted by Joe Caponi at 10:13 AM, September 7, 2006 This is a public forum.
