Apple has released new iMacs, with a new interior (up to 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo) as well as new exterior (thinner, with a black back, as well as black 'eyeliner' around the screen), including a new keyboard, during a press event in Cupertino today. Apple also released new version of its iLife and iWork suites. iLife has seen updates on all its applications, while iWork has also received a new spreadsheet application called Numbers. Update: The Mac Mini has been updated too.

I can't argue with you there. But that's not the point I was trying to make.
And, no, I don't think a PC is that much more complex than a Mac, but I didn't make that argument either; I didn't even comment on computers. I was merely trying to reiterate Kroc's point that we, as OSNews readers, aren't very representative of technology buyers as a whole.
The average consumer isn't overly concerned about the specific kind or speed of processor (or any other nitty-gritty technical detail) a computer uses. "Can I use the internet, listen to MP3's and send email?" are more of concern to the typical consumer. And of course, no matter what the software or hardware platform today, the answer is yes to all three.
Well, it does look different, has a few additional features (integrated video camera, for example) and runs OS X (legally) and iLife, which may or may not be important to you, but are certainly incentives to many (most?) Mac buyers. On the other hand, with exception to memory, it certainly lacks expandability. Back to my original argument, this probably isn't a huge deal to the average consumer.
