To learn more about the iMac refresh and the new Apple Trackpad, just keep reading.

Apple's line of Mac Pros seems to be in short supply, which leaves industry analysts to believe that a refresh is coming up soon. But now the signature iMac, 27-inch LED cinema display, and even the Apple TV are joining the ranks in the rumor mill.

According to one plugged-in insider, Apple may be introducing a newly upgraded Mac Pro, a speedier iMac, and a new 16:9 27-inch cinema display tomorrow. Not only that, but there's also some new insights on the next Apple TV and the upcoming version of iLife. Find out these details when you read more.

Though there's plenty of stock here in San Francisco, it seems that a number of Apple stores around the country are running low on Mac Pros. Does this mean a refresh is finally on the way? There are already rumors abound that point to other model refreshes coming soon — like the MacBook Air and iPod touch — and this unavailability only enhances the thought that there will be a number of product enhancements coming this Fall.

The Mac Pro hasn't been updated since March of 2009, which is long overdue — the average update comes every 236 days. I used to rock a Mac Pro when I used a lot of music-making software, but got rid of it for a smaller and more portable MacBook Pro. It's a tough machine, perfect for anyone who needs a lot of processing power and storage. What about you — do you use a Mac Pro, or do you stay portable with a laptop?
