Actually I need to spend this weekend pricing out a PC with the specs I expect to see with a IPS Dell 24" monitor and see how that compares to what we'll get with the 2012 iMac.
Well I can already tell you that you can get a PC with the same specs for cheaper than the 2012 iMac...Unless Apple decides to drastically change their strategy for pricing their computers.
I'm going to wait for 2017 refresh myself. I'm all set for a while.![]()
There will not be a 2017 iMac.

Is there a way to know if we can upgrade the RAM outside of buying one? Is it advertised on their website somewhere?
Having never owned an iMac I am not sure if I should go with the magic mouse or the trackpad.
I like the trackpad on my macbook pro but I do wonder if a mouse will work better on a desktop. Which is more precise do you reckon?
If I get the magic mouse and decide I don't like it can I swap it for a trackpad without paying any extra...?
Get the trackpad it's best for all the gestures. If you need a mouse afterwards you can buy one. In several cases users prefer non-apple mouses to the magic mouse.
I'm scared of the Trackpad getting dirty, even if you wash your hands your fingers do have oil does it muck up overtime?

The Magic Trackpad is like a sheet of glass.
Simply clean it off when it gets dirty!![]()

Sorry, wasn't trying to be a jerk.![]()
Just pointing out that that trackpad was constructed such that it was easy to clean without potential damage to the electronics inside.
I don't think you were being a jerk at all

If you think you want both, order with a trackpad. I have read here that some buyers at Apple Stores have simply been given a trackpad to avoid taking the time to open the iMac box and remove the mouse. I don't know that this would occur with online ordering ... however, there always seem to be Magic Mouses (mice?) available on eBay and CL new from buyers who prefer a different mouse or don't like the Magic Mouse. Many are brand new and unopened. You don't see that many trackpads for sale.
