Yeah i cannot see a new smaller size. I just don't see that Apple would go that way. I think they would prefer to push people towards a 17" MacBook Pro (even though they are more expensive). I think that Apple will (and has) consolidated it desktop line but will continue to expand its mobile line, so i think the current iMac line up is looking quite good at covering the bases at the moment.
I think the Mac Mini will get an update to bring it in line with the iCore processors, maybe i3 or i5. I wouldn't mind a i5 Mac Mini Server as that would be a gutsy little machine (not sure you will get a quad core in there though).
As for the laptops, it would seem a little early to jump on the Sandy Bridge wagon for Apple but if they are ready then maybe Apple will be the first to show of the tech? Hence also updating the iMacs too.... but then again i think Apple likes is dedicated video chip
