After a drastic revamp to the MacBook line during last week’s special Notebook event, Apple stands to upgrade the iMac and Mac Mini come Macworld with the same energy saving Nvidia technology shipping in the company’s latest products and enhanced graphics. The unibody manufacturing process could be Applied to the iMac and allow for a new enclosure to the Mac Mini.
Ever since the dawn of Apple’s new design regime with Steve Jobs at the helm, glorious new form factors have been the forefront of the companies focus shedding functionality users have become accustomed to just so a stunning new enclosure can be created. Often times it has allowed Apple to pioneer new designs other manufacturers have yet to venture into but this also means the end user has to sacrifice quite a bit the most common being the lack of easy expandability. Sure you could take a crowbar onto your iMac to swap out that Hard Drive but after you’ve channeled your anger onto some inanimate object the sudden realization that your do-it-yourself venture is nothing more than a pipe dream while users of those ‘other’ computers just unbolt a few screws and play mix and match until everything is right.
