Apple this morning announced new products including upgraded iMac and Mac Pro desktop computers, a multi-touch trackpad and a 27-inch Cinema Display.
The all-in-one iMacs, starting at $1,199, get faster Intel i3, i5 and i7 microprocessors and improved graphics chips.
At $69, Apple’s glass and aluminum Magic Trackpad “brings the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures of Mac notebook trackpads to the desktop,” the Cupertino company said in a news release this morning.
Apple’s top-of-the-line Mac Pro, starting at $2,499 for a model with a quad-core Intel Xeon multiprocessor, can accommodate as many as 12 processor cores.
“The new Mac Pro is the most powerful and configurable Mac we’ve ever made,” Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in the news release.
The widescreen 27-inch Cinema Display, at $999, can be connected to Mac desktops and notebooks. The display includes features such as a built-in video camera, speakers and microphone.
In its earnings report last week, Apple said it sold a record 3.47 million Mac computers in its most recent quarter, up 33 percent from a year earlier.
At 11:04 a.m. PDT, Apple stock was at $263.35, up $4.07, or 1.6 percent.
