I would like to ask how many of you are going to buy the new iMac 2012 at least after reading a thorough review of it?😕
 
As it happens, I'll see reviews of the 21" before I buy, but that's a circumstance Apple and its manufacturing partners created by not having the 27" available at the same time.
 
i'm buying it as soon as it's available, review or no review

same here..... oh one question i have been wondering are we allowed to pre-order it or will it just buy it on the day? I remember when i got my 1st Gen iPad there was a pre-order 3 days after they accounted it and 5 days later it arrived a day before launch (if i remember correctly)

Recent pattern suggests Apple does preorders of certain iOS devices but not for Macs at all.
 
review or no review I am ordering a loaded 27" iMac. Been putting it off for a year and finally have the finances to buy one. Been in the computer field since the mid 80's and working with PC's for over 25 years. Time for a change.
 
My 3 year old 27" i7 (one of the first) is still going strong. Maybe next summer.

The real problem is that I don't need increased speed but do need the optical drive and I do clone backups using FW800. So there's no reason to buy short of system failure.
 
I usually went to Anandtech.com for all reviews. In this year, I am afraid if I do not buy it as soon as it is released, the shipment will be delayed to next year. Sad🙁

thinking now that even if pre-orders become available in december, probably won't get it until 2013 anyways

I'm buying one ASAP.

I don't care if I get a batch which requires a recall, at least I know I've got one and can pay it off.

If I don't act fast enough and they go out of stock, I can imagine there being a 4 week ship date or something.

Sad to hear that. I cleaned my office room recently just for it.

You are right. I think somehow I should also trust apple after-sale service.
 
i'll first be checking out the 21.5" when it is showcased at the stores. i will do so because at that time, the 27" won't be available (or it might but not for purchasing). then based on the reviews of the 21.5" i will go ahead with the purchase of the 27" model.
 
out of iMac since the beginning of October (sold my fading 2008 model).
will buy a BTO 27" without hesitation when that BUY button will finally show up.

😉 I guess there may be a lot of people doing the same thing. For god sake let it be THIS WEEK.
