The Apple store is back up, and pretty much every Macintosh that doesn’t have the word “book” in it has received an upgrade.
Mac mini
Two Mac minis are now available, both with a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8x double-layer SuperDrive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. Your options come in the form of memory hard drive space: 1GB or 2GB RAM and a 120GB or 320GB hard drive.
The big question, of course is whether it actually has five USB ports. Yes. Yes, it does. And FireWare 800, a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort and Gigabit Ethernet.

iMac
Four iMac models from which to choose, now, including the awesome 24-inch 3.06GHz option: 4GB memory, 1TB hard drive (!) 8x double-layer SuperDrive and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics card with 512MB VRAM. Sweet! Of course, it costs $2,199.00, which puts it up in MacPro and MacBook Pro territory, but it’s undoubtedly the most powerful iMac ever. Remember when you had to get a tower to get specs like that?
From there, the options drop with the prices. $1,799 and $1,499 models are available with the 24″ screen, and 20″ model is available for $1,199. But even that little guy has a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. With this line-up, there’s an iMac for pretty much everyone not satisfied by the aforementioned mini.

Mac Pro
Then, of course, there’s the granddaddy of them all: the Mac Pro. These things have become so powerful that I no longer even know what some of the specs mean. One 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor in the $2,499 model, and two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors in the $3,299 model. You can go 3GB or 6GB RAM between them (up to 32GB for $6,100 more!), and I see you can also upgrade the processor to two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors for $2,600. Both machines come with 640GB hard drive (upgradable to 1TB), and 18x double-layer SuperDrive and 512MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 graphics card.
And here, I thought that new iMac was tough.

We’ll be taking a closer look at these through the day, so be sure to check back with us. In the meantime, head on over to Apple to see about breaking yourself some Tenth Commandment.
So, the Mini looks the same.
That's lame.
