This doesn't make sense.
"Out the door" means with all fees and taxes. It is the price you pay to get the merchandise out the door of the store.
Got a tip for us?

And I gotta admit. I'm a bit disappointed. I know it's going to be fast and rock the world, but I honestly though the step would be steaper.
To sum up the changes (and please correct me and add more to the list):
- A bit faster processor <>
- Sandy bridge ^
- 2 times Thunderbolt <>
- Better graphics card <>
I almost know why they didn't, but why oh why couldnt you just offer that damn anti-glare screen. Curse you at forcing my hand towards the Mac Pro for desktop work
Just add a monitor and run in dual screen mode, problem solved.
Yes. Why can't we see pictures of a dead Bin Laden.
Do you think such pictures, if any, will ever be for public viewing?
This doesn't make sense.
fixed.
I'm disappointed the base 21" doesn't come with 1 TB hard drive.
However, I'm pleasantly surprised that Apple is willing to swap out the Magic Mouse for the Trackpad for free. It's an easy decision then. I wonder if that's only online though... because it says "When you order online..."
Does that mean the Apple Store won't honor a free Mouse-Trackpad swap?

Honestly think it's a heat consideration, at least in the 21". Looks like all three of the processor options for that model run a Max TDP of 65W where the 27" goes up to 95W.
I don't know what you're talking about and it's pretty clear that you don't either. The 3.4 i7 (27") and the 2.8 i7 (21.5") are top performing chips and storm through benchmarks. The 3.1 i5 (27") and 2.7 i5 (27" and 21.5") hold their own in serving the mid-range market.

I'm a little disappointed.
I was waiting for this refresh to possibly buy my first iMac. I have a PC with a quad core i7 860, 8GB RAM, 1TB video RAM, 2TB drive, and a 24" monitor that I just bought before the holidays for about $1200 (from Dell). Now, in order to get a Mac that is equivalent, I have to spent almost twice as much ($2399), and I still don't think the iMac will be as powerful because of the mobile processor issue. I do get Thunderbolt (which I can't use yet) and a beautiful screen, but other than that - the iMac seems like a giant ripoff.
And, I can't even walk into an Apple store to be ripped off, I have to order online and wait for the privilege.

you are not comparing apples with apples, dif architecture. and don't be so caught up with the amount of video ram, a 512 fermi 460 is x5 as fast as a 1TB 9800 GTX. do a little more research...
I'm pretty sure the 21.5" has four SO-DIMM slots so you can upgrade it to 16GB. Also, Sandy Bridge can support a max of 32GB, so hopefully these iMacs can too with 8GB modules.
The 27" display alone is worth $1000. Don't know what kind of crappy 24" you have now, but you are not making an apples-to-apples comparison.

I think they are a fantastic upgrade and I'd love to bag myself one. However, I
am disappointed because Apple have chosen to release them the same day my Daughter's school fees are due and I can't afford one right now

Wow, that's some video card you've got there
Yep, the world's first 1TB video card!
Sorry, obviously I meant 1GB. And my 24" monitor is a Samsung, not crappy at all, but certainly not as nice as the 27" iMac screen.
I guess when you figure the iMac screen as "worth" a thousand bucks alone, it makes the cost of the rest of the unit a lot more reasonable. And I don't mind paying a bit for the engineering and design of the iMac. Maybe I need to rethink this - I really still want one. I'm just trying to justify the cost.
Just called the store and they won't have them in until this afternoon. So apparently a lot of stores are in that situation. And they can't do any custom set ups (what ever that entails.)
I am most disappointed that it is only 16 gb max ram. But excited to replace my mac mini.

After see this stupid changes Im decided to get a PC with an Apple Cinema Display. We all know that will come sandy bridge but we are all waiting 3.4GHz i7 should be deafult with 8 GB RAMS. There is no any alternative for sandy brige we all know that but RAms are really chip in the market now and Apple must be add 8 GB Ram to default. Everybody knows SSD never come to default SSD still expensive product on the market. But RAM absolutely must be 8 GB to default. Yes Im really really disappointed.
