(Ignore the "new" word. These are not the new iMacs) 

Rumors are abound that Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) from 11th to 15th June will see the long awaited debut of the new iMacs. Some say that we'll see them fitted with the new Santa Rosa chipset and receive a brushed aluminum treatment (not unlike the G5s).

Some even say that they will sport a "new industrial design that will leave onlookers and competitors smitten." But on the other hand,  the same source is reporting that it could be just wishful thinking. They don't believe that Apple will introduce a new iMac during the WWDC. Instead, the event will focus more on the upcoming OS X Leopard and third party development on the iPhone.

Well, if the new iMac is a no show, at least you guys still have the new Santa Rosa MacBook Pro to cheer about. Coming with faster Core 2 Duos (2.2GHz - 15" 1440x900 LED, 2.4GHz - 15" 1440x900 LED and 2.4GHz 17" 1680x1050 LCD) and more RAM, they are the among the fastest Intel-based notebooks anyone can have (see here and here). By the way, the 15-inchers are using the new mercury-free and power-saving LED-backlit displays.
