A recently reliable third party claims that Apple plans to launch some NVIDIA-based iMacs at Macworld — including a possible 28-inch model — and that Intel's new Core i7 platform may play a greater role in the Mac maker's lineup than expected.
Last-minute claims would have Apple launching an update to its largest MacBook Pro model as early as Macworld — and potentially with a crucial change to the computer's battery.

Apple's Enterprise Sales Group has been quietly installing thousands of iMacs, Mac minis, Mac Pros, and Xserves in hotels and cruise ships in a new push to bring the media rich experience of Apple's retail stores to the hospitality industry, where hoteliers are seeking to deliver personalized, unique experiences that will impress guests and bring them back for more.
A switch to newer Intel-based Apple Mac Pro workstations for an upcoming rekindling of Virginia Tech's supercomputer efforts will more than double the performance to as much as 29 teraflops and will once again put a Mac cluster in the limelight — this time, placing it among the top 100 supercomputers in the world.
