Apple releases new Mac products today

Quick! Take a look at the Apple Store today and the new iMac and Mac Pro, as well as updates for Apple's Time Capsule and Airport Extreme. Come back here when you're done for some chatter.

You'll find a bunch of new product updates that just went up for sale this morning. A good day for an impulse buy?

There's a new Mac Mini (still starting at $599) a new selection of iMac desktops (starting at $1,199), and new Mac Pros (starting at $2,499).

I'm interested to check out the new Time Capsule and the new Airport Extreme, both with some new features. (Eye-catcher: Time Capsule will now allow you to set up a "guest network", so guests can access your wi-fi, without having access to devices on your network you want out of their reach.)

For all your uber-geeks, I'm sure David Zeiler, over at the Apple a Day blog, will cover the nuts and bolts of what these new gadgets mean and how they compare to their previous versions.

But for all you impulse buyers out there, what do you think of Apple's latest product roll-out -- which happened a little more quietly than in the past, I think.

Any interesting or exciting upgrades to Apple's offerings of desktop computing and wireless networking?

UPDATE 1: Looking for some other articles covering the launch of new Mac products today? Here are offerings from CNET and Macworld.

UPDATE 2: VentureBeat notes how Apple released news of their new products today with little fanfare. Indeed they did. They link to the two press releases Apple put out, which are here and here.

For more updates, hit the jump:

UPDATE 3: Engadget points out that Apple took away the number keypad on the standard keyboard, for the iMac desktops. But it's apparently giving the consumer an option, as a free upgrade, to get the longer keyboard with the number pad. So, if you don't use the keypad, and prefer some extra desktop real estate, it's your choice on how to configure the keypad. Good or bad idea?

UPDATE 4: ZDNet weighs in with the question: Is the Mac Mini irrelevant? That's what reader/comment Jeff S. wonders in the comments below. PCWorld also covers the new Mac stuff. How about that?
