First Intel Macs Coming in January 2006

In a stunning announcement, according sources at Apple Insider, Apple will release an Intel-based iMac in January followed soon after by a Intel-based Powerbook. The Powerbook will be much thinner than the current PowerPC based model. I can't wait to upgrade my Mac Mini to an Intel-based version next year too.

Surprisingly, the most reliable information indicates that the iMac and PowerBook -- two of the company's most recently revised Mac offerings -- are targeted to be the first two Mac models to receive Intel processors in January. The iMac and PowerBook are also believed to be Apple's best-selling Mac models, which explains why the company will be upgrading them with Intel processors first and refreshing their associated product lines for the second time in as little as four months.F
