Apple’s Tuesday announcements included no less than four major new hardware updates and one new product. As expected, they released an iPad mini, a 7.9-inch screen version of the popular iPad, for only $329. In addition, a new thiner iMac, new MacBook Pro and new Mac mini were shown.
The new iPad mini comes alongside a new 4th generation full-size iPad. This new model is more or less the same as the 3rd generation but with a faster A6X processor and the new Lightning dock connector. The iPad mini has all of the same capabilities as the full-size model but with a slower A5 processor similar to the one in the iPad 2.
The new iMac sports a much thiner design and new hard drive options. In addition to opting for a standard hard drive or solid state drive, buyers can get an Apple Fusion drive which is a combination of the two.
A new Mac mini also offers the Fusion drive as an option, and features improved specifications over the previous model in almost all respects. A new MacBook Pro model was also announced with a 13-inch Retina display.
The new iPads can be pre-ordered tomorrow and will start shipping on Nov. 2. The new Mac mini and MacBook Pro are available now, but the iMac won’t be available until November.

My first Apple computer was a Mac mini,and i was amazed what this little box could do. Then i was getting on in years,and decided to buy the iMac. I am totally against Apple with the Mac Mini,because it`s small to start with why couldn`t they make the Mac Mini a bit bigger,and do away with the iMac. In the new iMac on the Gizmodo site they are starting to bring up the same problem about the heat that it generates causing screen problems. Most of the bloggers will not buy this iMac because of this problem,and also the computer is built in with the monitor,not to mention the price. Most of them would spend there money on the Mac Book Pro or evan switching back to a PC. Personally i think they have brought out far too many products in such a short space of time. In England they are buying the Samsung Galaxy in preference to the iPhone. Three people have been to my house(You could say that they are Mac fans) The three of them have the Samsung Galaxy,and i asked each one why did you not buy the iPhone,and they came out with jargon that i could understand a bit. I said is that the one thats had these court cases,and they said yes,but we live in Europe. One thing i can say for sure is that the Mac system is very much more user friendly. I cannot stand the Windows system. Thats the reason why i would stick to the Mac
