Apple Store down for updates, new iMac and more on the way? Update: part numbers!

And here we go: the Apple Store is down, presumably to update it with all the new gear we're expecting today. New iMacs, plastic MacBooks, multitouch input peripherals, maybe a new Airport Express -- we could get everything, we could get nothing. You'll know as soon as we do.

Update: Kasper from AppleInsider just hit us up with some last-minute leaked part numbers, which reveal a new iMac with a 21.5-inch display, some new mini configs including a server with two hard drives and no optical drive, new AirPort gear, and yes, a new 60W MacBook power supply. See? Dreams do come true. Oh, and that's apparently just part of the list, so we'll see what else happens when all this stuff actually hits.

A Mac mini with 1 TB!?

I know the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1000GB, SATA II (WD10TEVT) only, which is about 180 EUR here - thus the Apple price for this device would have to be ridiculous or it will be no longer a 2.5" size!?

[EM1 Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:33AM]

They removed the DVD drive to add a 2nd 500GB drive. ;)

[Oli D Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:42AM]

Toshiba have just released a 1Tb drive too, Apple usually use tosh drives

[aashish bhagya Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:15AM]

Why does the iMac only have a 256mb barely mid range Radeon??? Irrespective of OS,better graphics card = Better entertainment PC right?

[Jacob1 Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:22AM]

yeah i know. and if it isn't even Core i7, then they'll be waaay behind every other desktop on the market. The iMac is the ripoffs of ripoffs.

new apple laptops are actually already being dropped off at Best Buy stores....WOW....before the announcement is even out!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:33AM]

Apple always sends its products to retail before they announce... how else do people get instant gratification after an announcement? The store hurries and puts the product on the shelf after the announcement... Apple has been doing it this way for years now... what makes you think they'd do something different?

[edk99 Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:34AM]

Why does it take them so long to update the web site?

[cjdunn Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:40AM]

Steve Jobs spell checks everything. Every. Word.

Mac mini chibiserver FOR THE WIN.

[Anatidae Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:42AM]

yawn

[matt merritt Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:45AM]

Good for my parents - they're getting a last-gen mini for Christmas, they just don't know it yet.

Also, possible multi-touch mouse to allow finger gestures on an iMac and a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro? I'll take one please.

[thud2000 Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:48AM]

I'm more interested in what gets shunted to the refurb/discontinued store ...

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:49AM]

Update: MacRumors has received unconfirmed word that the "MC207LL/A" product is a MacBook running at 2.26 GHz with a 250 GB hard drive and 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM.

[edicius Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:52AM]

I have to say that I absolutely love these comment threads. Great entertainment.

And yes, I'm an Apple-hater, so thbbbt.

Apple hater - Someone who is too cheap to drink the delicious kool-aid...

(trolls trolling trolls...pissing in an ocean of piss....whatever you want to call it, its funny)

[Detox Posted Oct 20th 2009 11:55AM]

True story.

[JK11 Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:00PM]

Right now Apple is expecting us to be running through an imaginary keynote in our heads, which is why the store has been down for so long.

Right after imaginary Joss Stone finishes her song, imaginary Steve will thank us all for coming and the store will be back up

[mike1530 Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:01PM]

maybe they're just releasing a huge anti-droid campaign

[arammc Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:08PM]

Home page indicates
"Magic mouse"
new mac minis (faster, twice the memory)
new imacs with better display...

The rumors seem spot on.

[hydrometer Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:10PM]

Since when is "no numeric keyboard" a feature?

[hydrometer Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:10PM]

err.. keypad

[dorgan Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:22PM]

Some new specs listed here:

[traut Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:34PM]

So the new Mac mini and MacBook are almost identical, specwise, but the MacBook dropped the FireWire ports again :-(

... and still just glossy displays :-(

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 20th 2009 12:49PM]

I don't see all of those SKUs in the store. What happened to the Airport Extreme update? I just bought the most recent one and it's plagued by a huge documented (but unfixed) issue: if you enable guest networking, you can't connect to the main network on at least some of the most recent builds of Airport Extreme and Time Capsule.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 20th 2009 9:05PM]
