To The Next Level!!?!
look at the story on the front page.
"New Macs for 2010 are going to take Apple to the next level"
That sounds somewhat promising. I hope it doesn't mean they are going to take iMacs to the next level of thinness.
anyway my guess about when new iMacs come out could be way off. If you think about it, intel aren't releasing any new procs till 2011. So the procs for the 2010 iMac are already out, so they could come out in March or April even.
Another thing to take into consideration is the release date of lightpeak.
according to engadget Apple intends to introduce LP systems in Q4 2010.
The "to the next level" comments might have something to do with LP.
if it is safe to assume that all macs will get LP at the same time then we are looking at new iMacs in the next few months and then the next update at the end of the year introducing LP. They probably wouldn't wait until Q3 to introduce new iMacs and then update them again in Q4.
The mobility 5800s aren't out yet, but they will be soon. I guess apple will use the mobility 5850, but you can never know. Honestly I think I'll be happy enough with that card to buy a new iMac when they come out.
I have the same needs (computer-wise) as you, and even though you can get way better cards in other places, OSX more than makes up for it. Keep watching macrumors! We'll see new laptops soon and then info about new iMacs will start to trickle in.
PS don't get angry at me if I'm wrong

we need to make another approach towards mac's
get both the cheaper pc for your games and from the substantial amount of money you safe there , get a iMac g5 for its speed, get a iMac g4 1.25 ghz 20" , yes the ilamp , for the style in your life , and experience safe surfing without worry's about worms ,trojans ,viruses , get a iMac g3 for its cuteness and for its ability to play os9 games
so you can have the best imac's apple has produced , plus a pc for gaming and still have money left over for a holiday

I see you've met Archie.
Most of us have learned to ignore him. He's harmless but he does try his best to get under everyone's skin. It's sort of his raison d'être in here.

I'll bet you they plan touch screen home computers based somewhat on the macbook air slim model.
If it's meant to bring apple to the next level it will be something new, not the iMac. There wont be any significant jump in technology, so what he means must have to do with the user interface design.
i beleive this is a fair arguement but. ive had no problem using apple computers and play to use them for the rest of my life at this rate
however. for the price i think the spec could be boosted a tad, but the build quality and designs are incredible and the OS is just fantastic

I agree in that there should be options for the GPU, just like they give you options for HDD, Memory, and CPU.
