You ALWAYS have the latest and greatest at the time of purchase. (Unless you buy a discontinued model, which is not what we are discussing.) So the ONLY benefit of waiting is to lengthen the time during which you own the latest and greatest. Is that "advantage" worth the "disadvantage" of waiting and going weeks or months without a machine you want now? That is a personal judgement.
I really don't need to understand that because this thread is about answering the OP's question and is not about me trying to persuade YOU what to do. I honestly dont mind what you do and I am not trying to persuade you about anything.
I am simply saying to the OP, he/she need have no regrets for buying a new iMac now. That is all.
Yes, it is worth that "disadvantage" since I don't want the machine now.
I was writing my first post from my point of view, you quoted me - hence you need to understand my point of view, regardless of what the OP stated, since you're replying to me.
If you wanted to direct a post to the OP, you should've written it as a standalone post to the OP, not quoting me. Feel free to write whatever you want to the OP but leave my posts out of it then if you don't want to reply to me.
