I thought I saw this on one of the threads as a rumor but I can't find where I saw it and haven't had time to follow all the current rumors for the iMac update.

Are people thinking we may see a 30" iMac with the next round of updates?
 
I'm sure some people would like it, but I don't see the point. At the current price structure of the iMacs, a 30" would be REALLY expensive, and users would probably be better off buying a Mac Pro. But, who knows?

I just wish they'd update these TN-screened 20" iMacs, since anything above 20" is too big for me.
 
I found this on some chinese website, I think it's a PR image from apple.
I didn't really, I made it myself, before anyone else gets all up on their photoshop high horse...

He also said "next round of updates". :D

The next round will have the 9400m chipset, which can drive a 30" display at its native resolution.

I can imagine Apple releasing a 30" iMac when the price of the display used for it falls below $1,000... :rolleyes:

People said this leading up to the release of 24" iMac.

Personally, I'd take a new Mini with the 9400m and put my own 30" display on it.

What sloth - you should have made the visible screen larger. I mean come on, is it all that hard to copy the screen, do a 102% resize and paste it over the existing screen, thereby making the border the correct portion relative to the larger screen.

At a glance, it looks okay.

It was 12:30am, I was tired... Good god, grow up.

Where the hell is christmas spirit on here, has everyone turned into the bloody grinch?...
 
I think it would tip over. lol

Anyways, I really really want a 30" display but now I have a 24" iMac. It was great when I got it but now I do so much multi tasking I'm constantly running out of space.

So is my only option to buy a Mac Pro? haha

Next round of updates? I doubt it. 30" displays are still expensive, and confined mostly to the realm of professionals.

Eventually, a 30" iMac is a possibility, I suppose. It would be something to see... :D

Honestly, it would make more sense at the price point this would come at to buy a 2.0 Aluminum Macbook and buy a soon to be announce 30 inch LCD display. That would be around $1299 + ~$1099 = $2398 + tax, probably close to what a 30" iMac would cost.

But the iMac would be far, far faster...

Well I saw the funny side of it and the caption made me laugh out loud.

For all you others with no sense of humour, well, hope is lost.
