The iMac update needs to be rolled out, the sooner the better

Well, I have been waiting and waiting. This was going to be my first mac in 10 years. This weekend my 3 y/o pc laptop died. I have work to do and I simply can't wait one more day. I'm quite upset really. I was really looking forwards to having the new iMac.

Now I'm trying to find out which sites I can order pc parts from here in Korea using my Canadian credit card and am going to just build a PC. I didn't want to, but I can't wait for who-knows-how-long for the iMac to finally be released.

I am tempted to buy a new MBP, but I will be doing a lot of editing with DSLR footage, so I was gonna buy a top of the line iMac. Oh yeah, they also lost out on me purchasing Final Cut Studio.

So frustrated and sad.

Buy the current iMac instead- it's still a fine machine. If the new iMac comes out soon, you could return your iMac and get the newer model.

Or you could get a MBP and a large 3rd party monitor to go with it. You can get 24" monitors from many companies for relatively very little money these days.

Your 09 imac is fine. Why waste money on a slightly faster imac? Sometimes I think people just like to throw away their money.

Look at his signature -- his iMac is a mid-'09 Core 2 Duo iMac. He'd notice a HUGE performance boost if he replaced his iMac with a current quad-core model; the difference between his C2D and a quad-core SB iMac will be ridiculous.

you only have 14 days to return it.... if it comes on the 15th day, you're doomed. And you'll regret it.... worse thing is, getting a computer, and finding out few days later that you could have got a BETTER one for THE SAME AMOUNT!

Lol no. The USB ports are beginning to frequently trigger the "too much power" error message and the mini-displayport causes the external monitor to flicker as well.

Exactly why would you buy another if that one is in such a state now?
