If you have to ask at this point, without searching, get it and don't whine when it's outdated in less than a month.

Ok, so wait? Its for basic home use... I guess i would feel bad when its going to be outdated within a month.

IMO it's NOT going to be updated at macworld. Maybe BY macworld, but the next imac revision is very likely just going to be some minor spec bumping, and that's not going to make it in to a keynote.

Also, maybe NOT by macworld. People have been counseling against buying minis for over 6 months now on the assumption that updates are coming soon. There's just no predicting with apple.

So all told, the answer is the same as it always is when someone asks this question - if you can wait, then you'll either get a better machine for the same price or the current machines at a nice discount. If you can't wait then the current models are more than adequate for basic uses.

I am gonna wait till MacWorld (or even a bit later) but if I were you I wouldn't wait I think. I don't even have the total money for my 24'' yet (would borrow some) but this sounds like a very good offer... So much better can't the new one be, can it?

I don't know.... If the speed is only going to be upgraded, then this is fine.

If its not going to be even noted in the keynote whats is everyone expecting? :confused:

wait dude wait. I've been waiting them from summer! old ones prices will go down after the release of new ones, so if you want to buy old one it will be cheaper
