Definitely throwing in the 860MX too. It'll be sweeeeeet!
I was going to get a new 27". Then I saw that they removed the optical drive and RAM door.
27" with the fastest CPU and GPU, then send to OWC for an SSD and a ram upgrade (plus external optical and backup HDD)
Any word on drive bays? I am worried that with apple liking dieting that someone could have decided nobody wanted more than one internal drive.
There is only 1 drive bay. There is also a spot on the logic board for one of Apple's proprietary SSD daughter boards. I believe OWC has aftermarket SSD daughter boards that should work in it though.
I was just curious about demand for the new iMac 2012. For those of you buying, are you getting the 21" version of the 27" version?
They didn't remove the RAM door, it is still user accessible.
It looks like for every one person who wants the 21" version, there are two that want the 27" version. This is what I would have intuitively guessed -- the 27" is so much more stunning and dramatic than the 21" version -- but I was baffled by some on this forum that thought there would be more demand for the smaller version.
Here's hoping Pre-order Day isn't too far away.
I was one of those that said the demand would be higher for the 21"... but I also said that if you were to ask on these forums, the 27" would be the most popular by far. I still stand by the fact that the base 21" is going to be the most popular model overall.
