2012 iMac - next big date?

[monoskier]

hybid drive

sorry.. "fusion drive"

I'm assuming by the fact that it is welded shut that upgradability is kaput. Hopefully I'm off on that.

It seems that Apple has finally built the desktop Steve wanted 3 decades ago. I am not quite sure how we're going to get to this

I am still hoping we can.

fusion drive??!!?!

 

[classicaliberal]

"Up to 3TB of storage." What kind? SSD? Laptop HD's? There's a BIG difference.

Ahhhh... wait a minute - "FUSION DRIVE" some sort of RAID perhaps?

 

[yozora]

discrete nvidia 600 series...

 

[Reason077]

I think we can assume SSD is standard.

Nope. Up to 3TB HDD is available. Or a "Fusion Drive".

 

[davidcmc]

What model is that GeForce they've put in this desk notebook?

 

[classicaliberal]

This is perfect!

 

[theSeb]

Apple fusion drive is clearly just SRT caching

 

[ihaveneverknown]

Offered w/ some interesting HDD & SSD hybrid.

21" gt 640m ==

 

[classicaliberal]

[monoskier]

$1299 base. ships next month

[theSeb]

Nope. Up to 3TB HDD is available. Or a "Fusion Drive".

128 GBs of flash and 1 TB hard drive is standard - fused together - the flash acts as cache. You only see one single volume.

 

[xgman]

So Dec. late but I can wait.

 

[HurryKayne]

Gtx 660m for 27....where's my 680m....

 

[ihaveneverknown]

27" Doesn't ship until December

 

[MacPat333]

What about the DIY RAM upgrade option? No more, f..k! It's gonn abe expensive!

 

[theSeb]

21" gt 640m ==

I guess it's better than HD 4000.

 

[Razorhog]

Gtx 660m for 27....where's my 680m....

I saw that. I seriously hope there is a BTO option for the 680...

 

[davidcmc]

Gtx 660m for 27....where's my 680m....

Too hot for that thin BS.

Remember: form over function, that's how Apple works.

 

[Korican100]

boner for the new imac! who agrees?! that price is great! 1299 whoabus

 

[Cygnus311]

See where the 660m GPU ranks... http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

Glad I built my PC with a GTX 670. New iMac display looks nice but I still have my 2560x1440 IPS. No regrets!

 

[theSeb]

GTX 660 M in 27"

I assume 680M built to order due to price?

Ships in december. Got a day or two to work out it's RAM UPgrade and look at prices etc.
