This morning, Apple announced new updates across its desktop computer and router lines. Although there aren't any significant aesthetic changes or redesigns to the models, the Mac Pro, Mac mini, and iMac all received spec upgrades (e.g. faster chips, improved graphics cards, and more storage), and there are even some welcome price downgrades. Click after the break to get the quick rundown of the new items will deliver better graphics thanks to the NVIDIA GeForce 9400m, increased storage, and lower prices. In perhaps the most significant news to consumers, the friendly-on-the-eyes 24-inch model will now be available for the starter price $1,499, the same price as the previous generation 20-incher. Only need a 20-inch iMac? Prices start at $1,199. (starting price: $2,499) will feature the latest graphic technology and a faster processor than the previous model (for $300 less), enabling it to "deliver up to twice the performance of the previous generation system," according to If you're a power user (heavy video editing, graphic work, number crunching) who hasn't upgraded in a few years, the new Mac Pros look to be a worthwhile -- and relatively budget-friendly -- upgrade.
