Future iMac Refresh

[Bubba Satori]

Some time in the future....

Why do people need to know about something no one knows anything about....?

I am just curious to know that.

When do you think you'll know that ?

Do you guys see anything happening the coming 6-8 weeks to the Imac? Besides that, the printer rebate offer deal for the Imac is supposed to stop this month according to the terms. What will happen instead of that?

I don't really see anything until early next year.

A new $100 rebate for a printer.

A new $100 rebate for a printer.

Sure about that, I've no idea if this rebate deal has been refreshed before and for how long it's in the market?

Last three years. Refreshed every time.

Re: Blu-ray, hardware?

Hi folks.

Actually, I am in the exact same boat as parent. Well, except that my iMac G5 died. So I am not a first-time buyer. Now appears to be a very good time to buy, so I am leaning towards it. I had hoped my G5 would hang in there for an iMac with a Blu-ray drive.

What do you folks think is the timeline for inclusion of a Blu-ray drive in the iMac line?

Do you see any hardware updates in the next revision that would really change things? I don't care about processor upgrades or larger hard drives or better graphics chips.

If they would think about even e-sata or a card reader or anything hardware-wise that would improve the feature set, then that may be worth waiting for.

What do you all think? Blu-ray is the big one for me.

I am looking at a customized iMac 24" with 2.8ghz, 4GB RAM, 512meg graphics, 1TB HD, Applecare. Anything else recommended?

Thanks for your advice!

My thoughts? I don't think Blu-ray will make its way into the iMac. At least not for a while.

Seems like half the people here are worried about buying because a refresh may be "right around the corner."
The other half won't buy right after a refresh because of a fear of "Revision A Syndrome."

Maybe they will put the same type of screen in the 20" thats currently in the 24". Apple is being sued about that aren't they?
