I expect this to be the normal thing where the Apple Store goes down overnight, and when it comes up you can buy stuff. I don't expect a ridiculous 3am preorder like the iOS devices.
so pre order will start today for the 21.5?
or nothing will change until friday?
Nothing until Friday.
On Friday morning (California time), you should be able to put a 21" in your cart for immediate shipping, and a 27" in your cart for shipping in a couple weeks.
Can we order 27" on Friday too?
"The 27-inch iMac will be available for order through the Apple Online Store and will begin shipping in December."
order immediately and ship in december,
or order and ship in december?
Seems like you will be able to order the 27" this friday

When you order will the money come off your card right away or not until they dispatch it?
Thanks.
Do we remain confident that any orders for 27" BTO iMacs made on the day you're first able to will arrive before the end of the year?
This could be read two ways:
"The 27-inch iMac will be available for order through the Apple Online Store and will begin shipping in December." (two separate events, one now, one in December)
or
"The 27-inch iMac will be available for order through the Apple Online Store and will begin shipping ... in December." (as in both happening in December)
way to be vague, Apple
The additional "will" strongly suggests separate events.
No. I wouldn't be at all surprised if BTOs had 6 week shipping times.

That is enough to make me reconsider having a BTO iMac, even if I was to simply select a fusion drive that would delay my order very significantly?
So, just to be clear, the consensus is that we'll be able to order on Friday morning at 12:00 AM Pacific Standard Time? Is that correct or is there speculation to the contrary?

So I waited 8 months for this crap?
So now after the the announcement of the new design, on top of the let down on the lack of the optical drive and not being user RAM upgradable for the 21.5, they top it off with not being able to get the 21.5 with a Intel Core i7 Quad-Core or more than 1tb HD. And I can't even opt for a fusion drive in the 21.5.....that is crap.
If the previous (2012) was available I would now pull the trigger on that.
This is what you get waiting for something new. Don't think I'm going to be the beta tester for this thing.
Should have got it while I could via:
