TrustedReviews NewslettersWhile not exactly the most definitive source of information, an OS X config file may well have confirmed what we suspected - the expected forthcoming iMac and Mac Mini refresh is almost definitely going to see nVidia-powered systems. Such evidence has proved accurate before, so hopefully this time will be no different.
The configuration file lists two systems the "MacMini3,1" and "iMac9,1" which bodes well for being a reference to new models, considering he current systems have the codenames "Macmini2,1" and "iMac8,1." In addition, said Macs are also mentioned in conjunction with what appears to be nVidia's MCP79 chipset, otherwise known as the GeForce 9400M. As sported by the latest MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air range.
