Really?
Interesting. The 27" screen on my Corei7 iMac is one of the nicest I've ever used. No yellow tints or graduations, just a
jaw-droppingly bright and clear screen.

my Rev. A 24" Aluminum iMac 2.8GHz Extreme 4GB RAM (Aug. 2007) Applecare expiring next month already gets blown out of the water by your i7. So what does that mean for me?
Oh, wait, my iMac rocks, kicks butt at pretty much everything I throw at it, and while it would be nice to have a 27" spec this and spec that iMac, I'm pretty sure my current machine will give me excellent performance for some time to come.
Actually this report is about all iMac models. Thus the confusion.
I'm gonna guess the 21.5" will get the core i3 since the i5 and i7 put out too much heat for the smaller space in the 21.5"
Ok. But why an i3? An i3 if they use arrendale, will need descrete graphics. I'd say if its an i3, just use a Core 2 Duo.
Glad to see Apple potentially adding the latest and greatest technology to it's Pro line....oh wait...
I've become convinced that someone at Apple who's in charge of updating products has their spreadsheet set to sort by name, not date. So since there is no "i" in the Mac Pro name it just keeps going to the bottom of their list.
Base models should get a processor bump or at least the option of customising it to a core i5/i7.
Would be interesting to see if Apple go with USB 3 or lightpeak which is due next year right?

Too little too late, my parents just bought one of those stupid touch screen PC's.
I hope they have gallons of screen cleaner, and micro fiber cloths. Or just where gloves.
Prediction:
The delays in both the MacPro and the iMac (my prediction) are form factor changes.
You know how famous Apple is on stickling for design of products - it's not necessarily the insides, but the cases for the new products (my prediction).

Would be nice to see a new case design
We just got a new case design with the last revision. I strongly doubt they'll give us 2 entirely new case designs within a year.I wonder if we will see a 30" and higher version?
I sit in front of Dual 30's everyday and when I come home to my 24", it just isnt the same
Doubt it. Anything bigger than the 21.5" isn't really useful in a consumer computer. The current 27" accomplishes the wow factor they were going for.
Sigh
I think the biggest problem with that is people who work in offices with large windows exposed to daylight behind them.
In my studio where the light is controlled I don't cry out for a matte option but I can see why there are those that do. It's hard to argue with the corei7 horsepower though.
Apple might just sell some iMacs to creative pros if they'd ever offer a matte display option. The only matte option Apple has anymore for desktops is the 30" ACD...not that I'm complaining since I got one and have never been happier

And an antenna along the outer edge? Just don't hold it the screen the wrong way ...
In 2009 it was exactly three weeks to the day between Apple's alert to the channel and the refresh. That puts us at 8/10 or 8/17, you believe in Tuesdays.
Which is exactly why I purchased the 17" MBP...for expresscard slot to facilitate expansion. For instance, the Tempo Sonnet Pro eSATA adapter has allowed me to achieve faster throughput with a GRAID than the internal 7200RPM.
But uhhh, if new iMac has FW3200 and USB 3.0, will likely spring for it. Native Blu-Ray support and FCS update to provide real BD authoring? Yeah, then I'll definitely spring for it.
You don't need USB3 for blu-ray. You can already do that today, but OSX does not support blu-ray playback.
