Apple Releases Updated iMac Models With 21.5- and 27-Inch LED Screens

[JohnDoe98]

Does Apple still need a midrange tower or is that 27 good enough now?

 

[BlizzardBomb]

A bit bummed about 16:10 being left behind, but these are some niiiiiiice machines! The mouse looks very sleek too.

 

[skeep5]

design didnt change much.

Mr. Ive would slap you if he could. Watch the 7 min video and you'll feel like you've blasphemed. Its all new from the ground up! LOL

What is the deal with no blu-ray...

 

[richard.mac]

nice update. ive noticed another USB port on the back and an SD card reader under the optical slot.

core i5 and i7 in the iMac! hackintosh community will be pleased. affordable nehalems and vanilla kernel installs.

 

[Harlowgold1]

Ouch Microsoft...

Despite some of the bellyaching, these updates to the iMac and Mac Mini will have to place MS in a world of hurt! IMHO...

21" is too small and 27" is just too big. 24" was perfect.

Thats kind of how i feel. I want the quad core, but i'm not sure it'll fit on my desk. Eh

 

[zw-gator]

Any nay sayers of the quad cores in iMacs please feel free to admit you were wrong

I was saying this last week and people were calling me crazy

 

[nagromme]

And once again a top-end iMac steers me away from the Mac Pro I had been eyeing.

I'll wait for Quake Wars and Bioshock benchmarks to make up my mind (Oh, and money. I'll wait for that.)

Thats kind of how i feel. I want the quad core, but i'm not sure it'll fit on my desk. Eh

Take the 24" model that does fit your desk, add 1.5 inches on the left, and another 1.5 inches on the right. You'll probably get it to fit

And all of them take up zero inches of desk space anyway, since they're elevated. My iMac's "foot" is my snail mail pile.

The new Apple Remote.

[QCassidy352]

Wow. The 27"ers are amazing. Drool.

 

[jaybird13]

Got mine!

 

[scubasteve03]

Ips!!!!!

Did you guys hear that the imac are using IPS panels? SAME PANEL IN THE ACD! Wow, im not going to be able to sleep

 

[gnasher729]

No minitower then

And maybe some enterprising company can build a bluray player with Mini Displayport output.

 

[uaecasher]

OMG I love you apple

 

[frick]

Was there any sort of video card update? I thought the 4850 was BTO on the last gen iMac. As far as Bootcamp gaming is concerned, these are no different from the last generation -- they will be completely GPU limited :\

 

[sl1200mk2]

For me, Apple just nailed it and hit a home run with the 27". Definitely my next new desktop (replacing my 2003 P4 Windows machine).

Now I just need $2200...

 

[jeenyusboy5]

27-inch models also support input from external DisplayPort sources

Where did you read this?

NM found it and that is sweet.

 

[theLastBeatle]

Article says 'begins' twice.

let it go little grasshopper, let it go.

 

[apthai86]

Does anyone know if the Core i7 is the desktop version or mobile?

 

[Gizmotoy]

Despite being mentioned in several places, the i7 version is a no-show in the store The i5 version at least says shipping in November.

Edit: Sorry. For those wondering, you have to select the i5 version and add the i7 as a $200 option.

 

[Heilage]

I have asked for a video input in an iMac since I first went into Macs. It was the one reason an iMac wasn't a practical choice.

Apple, you're getting my money. Thanks

Whats that

 

[nick9191]

Amazing. Although I personally think they should have left yesterdays baseline model in there as well and dropped it to $999.

 

[brad2610]

I wonder if they changed the ability to get to the hard drive? I learned the hard way why a Mac Pro is superior to the iMac..... accessibility when your hard drive goes. And your hard drive will go at some point.

Lovely updates - Blu-ray Schmoo-ray. But...

...just look at that UK pricing

Even when VAT is factored in, and at todays exchange rate, there's an 11.3% loading.

I guess I'll just have to suck it up, 'cos I want one.
