iMac Rumoured to Receive Update Within 4-6 Weeks

In a series of tweets today, CNET's Brian Tong claims that Apple's iMac will receive an update that will debut in late April or early May. According to Tong the update will take the predictable course of gaining Intel's "Sandy Bridge" platform as well as Thunderbolt connectivity.

The iMac is not expected to change in physical appearance in anyway.

EXCLUSIVE: My Sources: New iMacs en route by ocean to U.S. available end of April or 1st week of May. No major cosmetic changes.

My sources say New iMacs will feature Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt. No other specifics.

We'll see if this pans out, but I'm highly confident in my source. If you're looking for a new iMac. WAIT FOR IT!

The iMac was last updated in late-July 2010.
