It's fairly disappointing that they decided to not include the core i7 in anything as a default processor. Considering they're the "high performance" brand.

It's fairly disappointing that they decided to not include the core i7 in anything as a default processor. Considering they're the "high performance" brand. They only have it on their top model mac pro. And as an upgrade. Core i7s really up the snappiness of a system.
- rythie 17y agoThey have an i5 system which is the similar to the i7 but without hyper-threading support and less cache.
- DougBTX 17y agoSince when are they the "high performance" brand? High build quality, very much yes.
- elai 17y agoI guess, but considering their high price, well built os, high build quality, you'd think they would add an extra $100 a put a proper processor to fit the image.
- cpr 17y agohttp://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html -- Core i7 is an upgrade option for the 27" iMac. (Or am I misunderstanding you?)
- elai 17y agoIts only available as an upgrade for their top of the line imac.
- elblanco 17y agoApple has never been the high performance brand. They've traditionally either been a generation behind in processors and memory configuration or at least not at the bleeding edge. That being said, they tend to run more consistently across a wider breadth of configurations. People were using their classic macs (the 680x0 series) for nearly a decade after they were turned off as a product line.
