that said I think that yes something will occur. but it will be on the desktops only since the laptops just got theirs last june. perhaps the 24″ display also.

what do I think is on the line.
well first off, I do not believe as some do that blu-ray in the machines is a given. not in the standards, perhaps as a custom item for the Pro and maybe the highest 24″ imac. as a test.
i do think that new glass on the displays/imac is possible since there have been a lot of complaints. again, maybe not standard but as a custom item test. and likely at a small markup. I’m pay $50 more myself
perhaps the 30″ display will be redone to fit the new look. if that happens I think the anti-glare test is more likely since that size is favored by pro users. or they might keep the old one for now for those folks
on the imac front I see taking everyone to 4GB of Ram (i think the 20″ inch is still 2 and maybe that low 24″), increasing the HD and the processor speed with perhaps the addition of a card slot (that frankly I wish would be open like the old laptops had so I can pick if I want SD, esata or something else). this might turn up on the Pro as well.
on the ‘chin’ debate, I don’t mind it. but I find it is a bit of a waste when it could be used for front connecting USB and audio port. perhaps cut it in half height wise and use it in such a manner. maybe paint the whole front black even for a ‘cleaner’ look. then again, that’s what modeling paint is for. I also wouldn’t mind if they moved the display area down a bit to have the camera a little lower and perhaps space for better speakers. that would reduce ‘the chin’ a bit as well

and I think that the Mini would likely give a speed bump, HD bump and maybe Ram also.

if nothing else, some price drops could happen and probably should. on the computers and that 8gb upgrade (ouch)

The MacBook though is a different story and I can only see minor changes there right now. Maybe a processor and memory bump. Of course Apple has been surprising us with laptop upgrades of late but I just don’t see any hardware available for a massive update. The next major update would have to wait for Arrandale.

Four core i7 with OLED? I’ll buy one as soon as they’re available. However, realistically, I’m guessing it won’t be until 2010.
