Crikey, I'd want Tim Cook to be driving the delivery truck himself with that orderLol. Plus 5 Macbook Air's, 1 Macbook Pro (CTO), 1 MacPro (CTO), 6 Thunderbolt displays and keyboards, magic mice and super drives aplenty. Sadly not going to end up on my desk. I use a crappy windows machine at work
What's CTO?I didn't mind Windows 7, 8 is just awful though, simply awful. Interested to see what 10's like (what happened to 9?

Ahh, thanks. Yes mine was too. I was half tempted to just buy a store one as I'm seriously impatient, but I know it's not what I really wanted.
I'm ordering extra RAM from crucial, £130 for 32gb vs £360 or so from apple.
It's the only thing you can still add,..... I hope (t'interweb says so anyway). Can't do hard drives anymore which is a pain.

Watched a video online and there's a trap door on the back with push button release. Much easier than my MBP which has about ten tiny screws to take the back off.

My bad. I forget which one's you can and can't these days. Must be my age!
Just been to order the RAM from crucial and they specify a 2014 iMac 27" 5k and mid 2015 iMac 27" 5K, what's the difference? Whilst the product title and specs look the same for each, the product number is different. I assume mine will be a mid 2015 model.

I'm not sure of the difference, but mid 2015 will be the correct one.
Hi.
To save starting a new thread I thought I'd jump in!
I'm just about to buy the iMac 4.0GHz i7 w/ 4GB card, 256 SSD & I'll be throwing some more Ram in at a later date. From experience upgrading my 2011 MBP, an SSD is a no brainer, but I can't really afford a big drive inside at Apple prices. I could possibly look at the larger fusion drive, but wouldn't want to regret this decision.
I'm a bit of an all rounder, I'm a photographer/graphic designer working in CC Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign and a small amount of Premiere. So working with multiple apps open, Raw files and exporting video. A lot of my files are linked to various clients Dropbox folders and updated constantly if this makes a difference?
So I've been looking at external USB3 drives at least 2TB size. Possibly a multi drive enclosure with Raid (SSD is probably a bit out of my budget for a multi drive setup)? I've never used a raid setup before, so any advice on minimum specs would be great? Maybe one drive setup as a clone.
Thanks

So my iMac Retina arrived today and I have to say the screen is stunning. Two things that are concerning me a touch (not a lot) are that my model is a late 2014 one, rather than mid 2015. Are there any differences?
Also, My screen almost seems to bulge/curve ever so slightly (the opposite way to what a curved TV does). Well I say screen, the physical monitor doesn't but when I look at things on screen they do. It's very subtle, and it's probably most likely me getting used to a large screen. Has anyone else noticed this phenomena?

OK, so first issue solved. It is only the 'entry' level iMac retina that is 2015 apparently.
Hi Apple fanboy!
Question -- are Apple screens really not great even if you have calibrated them or applied screen output simulations in photoshop? I'm not a photographer, but I use my iMac and MBPR15" for processing images for print and web reproduction. My understanding is that the color gamut and RGB points are very good? What is not good about these screens? And how much of a difference does a different better monitor make?
Apple screens only have sRGB colour gamut, so 75% of the Adobe colour space. The less colours a screen can show, the further away from the way things are in the real world it is. They are also very glossy (even the newer ones).
It's true a calibrated Apple screen is better than the way they send them out of the factory, but it's still not that good compared to cheaper options out there.

Thanks for the further information fanboy. Wow, I didn't realize it was really that limited in color space. I really don't want an additional monitor, though. Maybe my next go-round of upgrades, if there is a new laptop as powerful as a desktop. I have a 15" MBP Retina (2013), and I do think it will last a few years, but for comparison, my early 2009 iMac 24" was still going strong earlier this year when I decided to replace it with a 2014 27" iMac (refurb from the online store, 3TB Fusion drive, overall at a huge savings). Although, it is true that the iMac is one year newer and a later generation than the MBPR, it is sooo much faster at everything. I could see the iMac still being viable in a few years, and yes the MBP as well, but not as well as the iMac. But, on my next upgrade, maybe I will go for a better external display.
