Apple's limited Mac lineup can be frustrating, especially for pros who need to get stuff done. Could "hackintoshes" – PCs running OS X – be a solution?
KGI Security analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple will upgrade iMacs to house Intel's Haswell processors soon to boost sales during a stale season.
iMacs can now come with 256GB or 512GB flash storage instead of 1TB HDDs, as long as you're willing to pony up more cash than the computer's base price.
Apple has listed several refurbished 2012 iMac models (both 21.5-inch and 27-inch versions) for sale online at around $200 to $400 less than retail price.
