When did you expect the new iMacs? On Nov. 2ed were another product was anounced but the iMac wassent? Last week when all the news all over the world were US election news?
If it´s still coming out in November, and there is no reason to believe that its not, it would always have been in the second half of the month. Maybe this firday with the G3 iPad Mini Ariving and thanks giving opening the x-mas sales, maybe the week after when all the iPad releases have been dealt with.
I also hate all these Tabloid style Topic names. "Maybe your Penis issent very big - click this and see me rambling about it with no hard fakts or thought at all" ...yawn.
If you hate tabloid-style topics, then why do you click on them and post a comment? Surely, you can avoid them but yet you have to contribute don't you? I have been waiting for the new iMacs since last February, so excuse me if I express some impatience, which is perfectly allowable. I mean hell, if you can make comments about penis size (I don't see how iMacs and penis size relate, yet you seem very interested in the latter...makes me wonder?), then I'm allowed to voice some discontent over how the launch of the new iMacs was handled. If you want hard facts about penis size, you've come to the wrong website...and please learn to spell, because your illiteracy is annoying, and you fail horribly at discrediting my post with your homo-erotism and fixation on penis size.

It's not the middle of November until the 15th. And even if it does pass the 15th, that still doesn't rule out November as the release month.
The new iMacs could come out by the very end of November.
True, the wait is just very trying. I'm hoping next week, because I can't see them release anything the week of Thanksgiving.

I would much rather at least know about it rather than still be in the dark...then again, I would be using a brand new rMBP now, since I promised myself that I would get one if there was no news of iMacs on October 23rd.
As for the 21.5 price, the upper model starts at $1500 retail. The only upgrades are the processor and the drive. $200 for the processor upgrade, plus $250 for the 1TB fusion drive puts it at $1950 WITHOUT the student discount. Probably like $1750-$1800 with it.

I had the same thought, but you have to get the upper 27" to have the option of an i7, which he can get in the upper 21.5 inch.
I am exactly in the same boat. I was about to pull the trigger on the rMBP, but then they go ahead and announce the new iMacs, yet, with no concrete release date or option for pre-ordering. Knowing BTO prices would've been especially helpful, as one could've planned financially. I'd rather get a maxed-out 21.5", than a base 27". You also forgot to include the RAM upgrade, which would probably run somewhere around $180. So, we're probably looking at somewhere around $2100 for a maxed out 21.5".
