Intel iMacs and 15-inch MacBook Pro expected within hours

Apple Computer in just a few hours will take the wraps off its first Intel-based Mac laptop and desktop computers, reliable sources have confirmed to AppleInsider.

Inline with predictions made by AppleInsider in November, the company at this year's Macworld Expo is expected to show both a new Intel iMac (17- and 20- inch) and the first 15-inch PowerBook. However, sources say Apple has decided to change the name of the PowerBook to "Mac Book Pro."

The new iMacs, which Apple chief Steve Jobs will use to demo new iLife and iWork applications, are expected to ship immediately. The 15-inch Mac Book Pro will be shown on stage and ship sometime next month, sources said.

Jobs' opening keynote is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am pacific time.

Apple did a great job of keepings things under wraps this time. I?ve been looking for leaks for the past 30 days with little to show for it.

Why rename the Powerbook? Apple got its money?s worth when they hired the firm that came up with that name. Mac Book Pro sounds awkward. Don?t mess with success.

NEW iMACS? No way...

I call BullS**t.

This would alienate a lot of people, and doesn't make sense strategywise. Apple needs new laptops, and would likely not have the resources to

And yeah, I would be PO'd cuz I just got my 20" iMac last month.

To early to tell. It depends on what they put in the new iMac and what software you need to run. I need to run a lot of software that is PowerPC only and will be for at least a year so an Intel iMac would be pointless.
