That 27" beast looks pretty good indeed, but in this pic, it seems they linked the MacBook with a 21", not a 27" which is the only one able to function as a monitor. Or what??

Anybody got an image of the MB side by side with the 27"?

Been there, done that... I think it is at the point for many of us to stop spending time signing petitions and spend more time looking at other options.
Yep, I'm ticked...
total height of 27"
I have a headroom limitation at my home office; permanent shelf over my desk. Looking at the new Mac specs gives the width/height of the 21 and 27" screens but leaves out the total height including the base. So, I can't determine if the 27" will fit. I'm 100 miles from nearest Mac store and not sure the 27 is in the stores yet. I don't need the bigger screen but would like to take advantage of the i5/i7 chips.
Would I be at a big disadvantage getting the high end 21 inch (3.33 & 8 GB memory) insofar as Snow Leopard really is designed to function best with the newer processors? I mostly do research on the web, e-mail and some photos. Seems as though the core 2 duo is on the way out. Looking to keep the iMac for 4-5 years. I'm coming over from a Dell desktop and can't wait.

Just got bck from my local store and all the new products look good. Finally Apple has quality display panels across the entire product line. The 27" iMac is ridiculously big/wide and i didn't really like it...prefer 24" but I guess they had to make room for the i5/i7s
The mouse is typical Apple...looks good but ergonomics still leave something to be desired, it clicks too easily and no more expose/dashboard buttons. Overall looks good on your desk but using it...
MacBook looks better than ever but also a fingerprint magnet. Display is miles better and the keyboard has a better tactile feel than even the pro models
Overall...good updates but nothing REALLY wowed me except maybe the i5/i7 options but also simultaneously turned off by the 27" case upsell needed and lack of at least an i5 option in the 21" models which is a more 'normal' size

Very solid updates! If this is what happens when a big Windows release is pending, then I can't wait for Windows 8!
Being able to keep the iMac as an external monitor in a few years when the machine dies/is obsolete is a nice plus. I wonder if you can use it as both target monitor mode and target disk mode at the same time?

I was thinking about attaching a Mac Pro to the iMac. You could get the low-end 27" iMac for your day-to-day stuff and have the Mac Pro for your business. If that is too much then connect a Mac mini to the iMac.
The option that should be there, matte screen, is not.
Yes, but as the Steve said, FW is dead at the consumer level. The harsh reaction from the masses is that FW is very much alive at the pro/prosumer level. So Apple is at last removing FW from the correct model class. I'm ok with this if it reduces costs, as it should allow Apple price flexibility in the future. What is disappointing about the MacBook is that Apple did not bring the price down a notch.

For consumers:
Windows 3.1 -> Windows 95 -> Windows 98 -> Windows ME -> Windows XP -> Windows Vista -> Windows 7
I know what you mean but calling it "Windows 8" seems a bit unlikely at this point - who knows, Windows 2011, Windows MMXI, Windows XT, Windows 8??? Maybe there's a big "wheel 'o names" that gets spun when a new Windows version comes out.
VESA is only ever available on their biggest model. The G5 had a 17" and a 20" so 20" had VESA. This one has 21" and 27", VESA is on 27".I can't believe that they haven't put a vesa option on the 21". I have an original G5 Imac 20", which has been sitting on my wall for the past few years, and is now starting to look old. I was hoping that I could replace it with the 21", but it looks like a no go for now.
Of course they are the mobile i5 and i7 (Arrandale) aren't out yet, don't reach those frequencies and are dual-core
I just love petitions. They give the spammers all the info they want to send those nice e-mails to those who have no friends.
If they went all-black, the screen would need to be centred vertically. The Apple logo probably would need to be slightly more subtle, but other than that, I'd like one!
Touch Windows? (reflecting the multi-touch direction..)
Windows Xtreme? (appealing to younger demographic).
I Can't Believe It's Not Windows?
Hey! It Looks Like You're Naming a Windows OS?
No idea, I just love that a little competition pushes Apple to release very solid updates like this.
