    I agree.

    Also I was hoping they would finally update the case, as I think they got cheap when they migrated to an entire new Intel/Mac platform but put it in the old aluminum case. That case needs to be refreshed and updated with a new look.

    I smell profit taking and greed here, as they paid for that design and tooling of the case a very long time ago.

    Got cheap? From what everyone can tell the cooling when they went to Core 2 was completely redesigned. Look at the Mac Pro case. It is exactly the same on the outside as a G5, but completely different on the inside.

    The designs may be stale, but they aren't doing it to profit or because they are cheap. Right now they have a classic look to them, you can tell a Mac a mile away, they are easily seen on TV shows and the like. There is no real reason to change the look.
