Apple Store Down Ahead of Likely iMac Refresh

[ShiftyGray]

SSD BTO changes the shipping data to 4-6 weeks. And it's a 500 euros upgrade, that is quite a pile of money. I wonder whether I should add SSD later.

Is there no tower with iMacs?

I never knew they were "all in one" desktops.

Please Apple, give us a 24-inch option too.

Don't know the reason for Apple to discontinue the 24-inch imac and Cinema Displays. I have a refurbished 24-inch LED Cinema Display I bought from the Apple Store last year and I couldn't be happier. It is not huge, but it is not small either. People ask me all the time if my monitor is a 27-inch. The screen looks fairly large. You have to seat it next to a 27-inch display to see that it is actually smaller. It is just perfect for my desktop.

Overall a very bad refresh.

You HAVE to be joking.

Ignore the illiterate and ignorant troll.

I thought the now-previous generation had a display input so you could use it as a display for another computer? Has that gone?

Damn...was really, really hoping for the new z68 chipset and on-board 20 gig SSD to speed up the mechanical drive. Guess I was hoping for too much....

You HAVE to be joking.

It's a far better refresh than last time, I think. CPU + Thunderbolt + graphics cards. And notable price dumps where I live.

I like how at each refresh, there are people saying that the refresh is poor no matter what.

The 21.5" is getting quad-core even on low-end with option for an i7
The whole line has 6000 Series GPU
2 GB of VRAM as an option for the high-end 27"
2 (!) Thunderbolt ports for the high end 27" (triple screen possible ?!)
FaceTime HD camera

All in all, the update is pretty good. Sure, 8 GB and 2 TB standard would have been better in the high-end 27" but it still is pretty good IMO.

Looks like I'll be hanging on to my current set up for another year...I do like the dual Thunderbolt ports though.

 

[EEXOOO]

A tidier desktop.

iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and either a Magic Mouse or a Magic Trackpad — your choice.

We got a choice now! No more Magic Mouse collecting dust!

It's a poor refresh because you can't even order the bloody things.

Radeon 6970m 2gb, my dreams have come true

He just want to live with his MacbookPro 13¨ ... you should look at his nickname :lol:

500GB hard drive is weak. There is a like $15 difference between 500GB and 1TB drives when you buy your own, and iMac hard drives upgrades are tricky.

Where have you been last 5 years

If telling yourself that makes you feel better...

I'm not seeing any pricing - can anyone else see the prices?

5 years? Try 12.

 

[Kavik]

Great refresh. The only issue I have is the paltry 4GB of RAM across all models, with Apple still charging an additional $200 to go to 8GB.

Look at the URL for the main images ... looks like they were meant to go live last week !! (the old picture URLs had 20100727 ... the release date).
