I literally just sold my entire PC and Monitor system wanting to buy an iMac today, and this is what happens. WOW
The current version has been through a few revs and had the bugs worked out. If the new one is a different design, the likelihood of gen 1 bugs greatly increases - and they happen for Apple products. So go for the existing one and take pleasure knowing they probably have all the bugs worked out of it for you and it'll last a good long time.
Keep in mind, the latest Intel i5 / i7 processors that are out in the PC world don't really increase their processing speed much at all, except for some clock speed increases on the highest end (gaming) chips (doubt we can even get those in an iMac anyways).
Went to the source article - woah - “If we’ve had a pause in upgrades and updates, we’re sorry for that — what happened with the Mac Pro — and we’re going to come out with something great to replace it.” Nothing this year of course, only an updated iMac, but that might be enough. Hope lives on...I don't have to go to flee to Microsoft...
