Apple Patents Touchscreen Convertible Designs For Macs to Convert Between Their Standard and Touch Centric Configurations
Aug 25th
Patently Apple has put together an analysis of a patent Apple filed in Europe that describes a system for Macs to convert between their standard configurations and touch-centric configurations. PA believes it will switch automatically between Mac OS X and iOS. I’m not so sure.
The patent was published a while ago in January by the World Intellectual Property Organization under the patent name “Transitioning between Modes of Input”. True to its name, the patent does describe and demonstrate how an iMac and Macbook would switch between their usual configurations and more horizontal configurations better suited for touch input.

Apple today announced an updated line of iMacs. The new series is the first to completely drop Core 2 Duo as an option, instead offering dual-core Core i3 or i5 at the lower end.

Apple iMac summer 2010
Jul 29th
The good: Strong single-core and multitasking performance for its price; upgraded graphics chip handles most Mac games with ease; SDXC card slot supports higher-capacity cards than older iMacs; best-looking all-in-one on the market.
The bad: No HDMI input; no Blu-ray; native quad-core CPUs better at multithreaded applications; small screen size for its price; runs hot.
The bottom line: Apple has elected to keep its iMac firmly grounded as a productivity device. You’ll find few home entertainment conveniences in Apple’s new iMac, and you can find larger screens in other all-in-ones for less. Few will offer performance like this iMac, though, and none looks as pretty, which makes it easy to recommend for general-purpose computing and for the design conscious.
Review:
In time for the back-to-school buying season, Apple has updated its iMac desktop line with a broad assortment of under-the-hood features. This review will focus on the entry-level $1,199 model, but all four of Apple’s default iMac configurations received updates to their CPU, memory, and graphics chips. The highest-end 27-inch model also has a new option for solid-state hard drives. Apple left off a few hoped-for features from its new iMacs, including an HDMI input and Blu-ray drive support, although we’ve pretty much given up on Apple ever adding the latter.
