trying to see if i can more info in the matter from mark gurman i dont think he likes posting sutff about imacs idk why its seems to me that way but i could be wrong he just reply with "no comment" on the matter he might know somethings up.
 
The smaller iPad may be the star of Apple’s as of yet unannounced October 23rd invitation-only event, but it will have an impressive supporting cast.

An impressive supporting cast... could mean no iMac :-/
 
Okay...can someone tell me if I'm totally off base with this?

We have also heard a rumor about laminated glued screens.

Is it possible this is a hint it might be touchscreen as well?

Hmm actually come to think of it I kinda doubt it.

nop, thats not happening apple said that the way theyd tocuh its through the track pad, the lamination issues is because of the way they are putting the screens, similar to the macbook pro retina.

You have to read the whole news!

"...and thus it does indeed appear that Apple's media event will focus on several different products next week. "

There we have our beloved iMacs ;)

I have to disagree a little bit. I am an illustrator/graphic designer, and I'm currently using a 23" late 2005 HD apple cinema display, which is 100% matte. At my last day job I used a 2010 27" iMac. Yes, the reflections were frustrating. Yes, it was an unacceptably mirror-like. But it was infinitely more accurate to print with the colors. On my home display it's virtually impossible to see near-black and near-white colors. I can't tell you how many times I've made something in photoshop that I thought had a white background but actually had 1-2% grey in it and I had no idea until it printed or until I opened the same file on the 2010 iMac instead.
In addition it will always be impossible to get deep blacks or truly deep saturated jewel tones on a 100% matte screen.

Ideally I'd want something in-between and just not work directly next to or across from any windows and get some curtains. Apple claims the rMBP is a 75% reduction in glare from the standard MBPs. While that is a bunch of malarkey, I do think there is about a 25% reduction in glare. At least it's a step in the right direction, and I wouldn't want them to go 100% matte anyway.

Conventional wisdom says that consumers are lured by glossy and pros want matte. I think it's actually the other way around. General consumers want to go outside and to cafes with their laptops and iPads. They want to watch a movie during a bus trip without being distracted by reflections. Professionals want deep blacks and a wide spectrum of accurate colors - even if they have to make sacrifices like dimming the lights and putting up curtains.

Yes, I think you're probably right. Most of the work I do is for web so the colour-matching is not as critical as print but I find with the glossy it tires my eyes in other ways and I can't really see as sharply. Might just be getting older though....

Okay, fair enough. I have been a bit myopic as far as other Apple devices. I really am in the market for a new Mac, not an MP3 player or anything else, so I must have missed those or not cared enough to remember.

We shall see then. :)

Some people have a life.
 
What are the chances of a giant tablet..? Am being serious on this for the record. Somewhere between 21"iMac and 27" iMac. I don't know ahaha just a thought, Perhaps a hybrid between an iPad and an iMac in terms of what it could do.

Come on man be serious do you know how stupid that sounds?
 
So excited. Gonna get the iMac 21 but with i7 option or whatever the equivalent of that is in the new model.

Wonder what the options will be lol. As long as it has USB 3 I'm grand. Gonna thunderbolt my MBP to it and use my MBP as a second display :)

It would have taken less effort to have hit the back button than it did to type that last sentence. Therefore, you're not sorry at all. I understand you're frustrated having staked your entire future happiness on a computer, but that's no excuse for shouting like an idiot.

That could work like a big desk calendar. Tilt it 30 degrees and add elbow rests.

A plain touch monitor isn't right for most uses.

Perhaps the way i said it made it seem stupid. We've seen here some nice iMac creations and one being a nice flat one that stands on its own but can recline flat so you can place it somewhere either on your lap with proper settings or for artist. The only issue would be be best with touch screen but we all know how apple feels about touchscreen.

And instead of calling an idea stupid instantly try to at least have an open mind and put your own thoughts into it or your own crazy idea.
