With the iMac and now full iPod refresh it seems likely. As imitchellg5 pointed out, the Cinema Displays may get a refresh soon, altho they're still shipping at Apple.com in 24 hours.

What can we expect for a refresh of the whole Mac line? MacBook Pros and Mac Pros are in need of a major cosmetic refresh, including the displays. The white MacBook would most likely hit the chopping block. The Mini might come in black...
Signature depreciated.

The question is not IF, but WHEN.

Don't think so.

MacBook will go brushed metal, and so will the mini. Actually, the mini might be discontinued.

Its just a guess, since Apple is going with black + aluminum + glass I figured that the white MacBook may be discontinued, replaced by the black MacBook and maybe a brushed metal one.

Oh, sorry I missed the memo were we should take your "guess" as what Apple's next move is going to be.

When you quote a post with white text, it becomes readily apparent.

So are you unhappy that I answered the question seriously, or is that a joke that went over my head?

You know that you being serious can be seriously confusing

The price I pay for being a jokester. Same deal with the sarcasm.

Perhaps the solution is I add white text to all my serious posts labeling them as such.
No, not seriously.

I would think the new minis and Cinema Displays would kind of go with the whole glossy black glass iMac look. I think that would be sweet with the Cinema Displays. They would look really high end.
