Apple planning new mainstream iMac, upgraded MacBook Pros: report

A new report from Digitimes based on conversations with sources from upstream component makers indicates that Apple will be upgrading both its MacBook Pro and iMac lines in the first half of 2011.

According to the report, Apple will ship a new iMac that features "a new panel size and a price point for the mainstream market." That sounds like the iMac will get a smaller screen, as well as a lower price point.

Additionally, the sources added that Apple plans to launch at least four upgraded MacBook Pros in 2011. The new models will have a "slight change in chassis design" and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed. It will be the internals that will be most interesting, of course.

Apple's seemingly favorite manufacturer, Foxconn, will share manufacturing duties with Quanta Computer. With the new designs, Digitimes estimates that Apple's notebook shipments will grow 30-40 percent from 2010 to 2011.

Well Apple seems to have a busy schedule for the first half of 2011, with the company lining up a few upgrades...

there will definately be a probability that maybe there will be a design change on the Macbook Pro, sometime between now and sometime in 2011.
2 Years is a long while for Apple not to update their product lines.
In 2 years, you will have enough money to purchase a 13" MBP at today's price.

The screen is AMAZING. No one else comes close to the design and A SSD and HDD can both be installed on the machine

Best computer I've ever used, hands down. OS X Snow Leapord makes Windows look like Ubuntu. The screen quality is pristine, and incredibly detailed. Considering myself as a bit of a beginner, I'm looking forward to dipping my toes into the fantastic range of applications on it

I think its a good strategy. The iMac will reportedly get a "new panel size" and a "mainstream," presumably lower price to reach more users.
