Apple has begun signaling retail outlets of an impending shortage of iMacs, as supposedly, a refresh of the entry-level desktop Mac is imminent. Appleinsider reports that the company is telling retailers they should not expect any new supply of the 21.5-inch, 3.06GHz iMac, as the computer will no longer be in production. Retailers are thus being told to sell whatever iMacs they have in stock and to keep room in their stockrooms, almost assuredly for new iMacs.

Along with several other updates, Apple gave some lovin’ to the all-in-one machine: the iMac. I believe it’s safe to say these updates have seriously improved the iMac. A few days ago, for serious computing, your best bet was probably the Mac Pro. Now, with up to 16GB of RAM and a 2TB hard drive, the iMac is not to be laughed at. And with a 27-inch widescreen beyond HD display, everything will look amazing.
