Apple iMac 2010 - What would you like to see changed?

Two (2) Things

I'd like to see two things added to the 21.5" iMac in 2010 (or 2011)...

1) Quad Core Processesor
2) Blu Ray Burner

That's it... then I'll definitely buy one.
 
I'd like to see an iMac-G, as in iMac-Gaming version as a BTO option for people who incessantly complain about the GPU.

I would also like to see a complete redesign of the box for the iMac. Whenever I take it anywhere I put it back in the original box. The last time I did that the plastic handle on the top of the box came loose and I nearly dropped the entire computer. That's not acceptable.

agreed, they should put heat sinks on the sides like top, then right side the bottom. I would also like to see speakers on the sides or where the mic is. i want 3 ghz quad core processor, ati radeon mobility 5870 or desktop 5770, higher ram standard, a more ergonomic magic mouse, dvi or vga connections and 1 more fan.
 
pretty close

i have to admit the guy who began this thread wasn't too far off,but my 27inch is hug enough, no need for a 30inch
 
New Imac Needs...

-A Definite 30" Full HD LED Monitor
-A Blu Ray Drive/Burner !!
-1TB HDD

Plus all the rest of the nice perks apple provides...Ppl will be going insane with these perks.


FOR GOD SAKE NO TOUCHSCREEN !!!!!
 
I'm pretty easy to please...

SSD's would be nice, but I don't think they have the capacity just yet. Blu-Ray I can take or leave.

Being currently "in the market for an iMac" and just waiting - I'd put my vote in for any upgrade to the GPU.

If they did that tomorrow, they'd have my order the day after.
 
-ATI Radeon 4850 on the 21.5"
-I really don't care about quad-cores being standard, but it would be a nice customization option.
-HDMI-in :D Or a Mini-DVI to HDMI adaptor made by Apple. I don't want to buy a $300 TV if I have a 1080p LED monitor.

Only fails for the current iMacs would be the crappy GPU and no HDMI-in. Also, about the touch screen, if Apple thinks about doing it they should definitely make a seperate computer and OS.

After reading other responses. I love the gaming iMac idea. Apple should release a whole gaming line, 330M 13" MacBook Pro, 330M Mac Mini, 4850 21.5" iMac, 5XXX 27" iMac (Personally hate the giant screens), gaming Mac Pro with a slightly less amazing processor and hard drive but great video cards. Maybe MacBook Air 320M or 330M.

How bout an alternate color option. All black iMac?
 
Is there any chance that the entire 27" iMac range would all have quad cores and be the same price as they are now meaning the base model 27" would have a quad core and be the same price as the base model 27" iMac now?

It's possible but I doubt it. I can see Apple using Clarkdale instead but even that will provide better performance, even better than quad core in apps that support less than 4 threads.

More than likely would be too hot.
 
wireless numeric keypad+matt screen+color

I'd like, because a lot of people like me need it: matt screen, at least in option. Even paying.

A wireless keyboard with numeric keypad.

And, why not a bit of colour again. New iPhone 4 has panels of aluminosilicate glass. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable.
 
Apple definitely went wrong with the design of the box of the latest iMac. I can't speak for other iMacs before the latest revision, but the box that came with my G5 iMac was perfectly acceptable for carrying around, it had a latch that wouldn't allow for the top to pop open upon carrying-- something very convenient, considering I moved my old G5 iMac around a couple times a year, sometimes even a couple of times a week.
 
I'd buy one tomorrow if they announced

1. Updated GPU
2. HDMI in

These features I would enjoy, but could live without

1. Blu-ray
2. Improved heat distribution
3. Back lite keyboard
4. Updated web cam
5. Ability to read Steve Job's thoughts

haha that i really want too.

so funny:D
 
- I'd like to see Windows 7 only iMacs. (i.e. pre-installed with Windows 7 as the default OS)
- USB 3.0.
- Fix the CD/DVD scratching on slot load/eject that has been a problem for years.
- Fix the yellow tint.

And next year we'll probably see the start of the death of Mac OS with iOS touchscreen computers.
