December 7, 2009

This month, EveryMac.com features complete details on the brand new Mac Pro and Xserve custom configuration options, a comprehensive update to the Aluminum iMac Q&A to cover all Core 2 Duo, Core i5, and Core i7-powered models, and a handful of assorted new and updated Q&As about the Mac Pro, Snow Leopard, and more.

In addition, EveryMac.com's "Ultimate Mac Lookup" has been enhanced with hundreds of additional Serial Numbers and other Mac identifying information.

The completely updated Aluminum iMac Q&A answers "How does the performance of the high-end Core i5/Core i7-powered 'Late 2009' Aluminum iMac compare to the entry-level 'Early 2009/Nehalem' Mac Pro? Is there still a reason to consider a Mac Pro over an iMac?" and "How does the display quality of the 21.5-Inch and 27-Inch 'Late 2009' Aluminum iMac models compare to previous Aluminum iMac models?" along with dozens of other questions.

If you didn't already check out the earlier "sneak peek" of EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup, try it now. It allows you to dynamically lookup G3 and later Mac specs and all iPod and iPhone specs by Apple Order Number, Model Number, Model ID, Serial Number, and Intel processor number.

In case you missed one, Q&As since the last major update include:
