What did he mean with Kepler card? Sorry I'm not so good with cards. I know the 680m is the desired one, but as it read today the 660 Kepler for 27" ... what does that mean? Is it like saying BargainMart card?
 
Kepler is the lastest gen Nvidia chipset... iMacs will be using M version chips which are designed for mobile.
 
Well that's the last I listen to my friend lol

But either or, the iMac refresh is rather underwhelming IMO.
 
Not sure if anyone has a photo of the iMac back but it looked as if there was a slightly different grey colour. It was behind the stand near where the ram is inside so access hole? Also the irony that the iMac had the most showtime of any Mac :L

I don't really see the difference from last gen to this one, if looking dead on from the front they look practically identical.
 
Buying this the second it's on the Student store.

Concerned RAM isn't upgradable at the bottom?

Please be a 2GB graphics card in the BTO :)

Are they the same price as before?

Where's the innovation in that?
WTF, dude? They've just made the same product thinner and probably hotter.

Why do I keep reading fanboyism the whole day here? Oh wait...

Me? A fanboy? lol. Check my post history, buddy.

Who else has an all in one that thin?

Now to debate drive options. The fusion drive sounds cool, but I'm skeptical.

It's basically SRT caching. You see one volume and, in theory, all of the operating system stuff, the caches, the apps, mail items and so forth are on the SSD bit. Movies, etc are on the hard drive. It seems that the base option is 128 GBs of flash and 1 TB HDD. You will probably get more if you go for the 27". They did say up to 768 GB flash and 3 TB HDD. So you can probably pick 128 GB + 1 TB, 256 GB + 2 TB, 512 GB + 3 TB, 768 GB + 3 TB, or something.

Since when thickness has been a concern in desktop computers?

That machine is going to underclock monstruously under high demand softwares.
Do you really think that cooler is going to keep that thing cool during a 3D renderization or gaming? They'll HAVE to underclock things to keep it from boiling.

No, he said the entire fusion drive is an option...not base. I think the base model will be 1 TB HDD only.

It was everything everyone speculated it would.

Was there something you read differently?

My friend who dev's OSX said HDMI input and larger 32in. The latter obviously sounded like a stretch but HDMI in wouldve been nice.

Frankly, removing the drive yet keeping the price is rather disappointing as well.

As mentioned in a post, from the front, you wouldn't know it was "updated"...not that from a design standpoint it's a bad thing but at least from the a functionality perspective, I wouldve liked HDMI input. Hell, even make the thunderbolt allow video input
