Sub-30 fps is fine to you? You have low standards then.
Ok, it may be a little laggy, but Mountain Lion is sure going to fix the lag.

No, you're confusing your opinion with "Retina".
So it would go like this: My opinion is a load of unnecessary bollox and is hugely over rated...
See?
Refresh would be released until their summer back to school sales/discounts are over in mid September.
Just get me an imac!!
Why does the iMac need a retina display?? The current screen is awesome and the resolution works!. Look how much the new macbook pro with retina costs. On a 15" screen. To put that on a 27" screen will cost a bomb!! The iMac doesnt need this! Just release an updated version with Ivy Bridge, Nvidia and USB 3.0! job done. Next year when you have come up with a cost saving way of producing retina display then update. Also change the look then etc... do whatever you like with it! just just an updated iMac out with Mountain Lion....

No, it's a rule. It'll have to cost higher because of premium feel to it, not so much because it's really that more expensive to manufacture it. So, better start sooner so prices can come down in a year or two.
iMac Refresh
Is it possible that the next iMac will be available in my lifetime?
I'm nearing 70 & am on my 2008 iMac about 70 hrs./wk. - it has been a fantastic machine but is really slow for rendering videos that I upload each day to Youtube & Vimeo!
Should I wait?

i just want to chip in on the complaints. why this wait?
the only sensible reason must be a major update - otherwise they could easily have done what they did to the mac pro?

I wish I had more disposable income. My G5 is still kicking and I can't convince my wife we need a new computer when my work gives me a Macbook Pro.
Is the MacBook Pro for home/personal use also? If not, then that machine is totally irrelevant to your family life.
After many years of buying Apple desktops and laptops and waiting 5-6 years between purchases, when the price out of pocket was highest, I changed my strategy. I now try to upgrade every other version release while the resale value of the prior machine is still high. This way I'm always up to date and price out of pocket isn't as high.
How do you sell your used computer?? That's always my problem. I don't know where to find a buyer
Fleabay. Macs hold surprising value as long as they are still supported hardware (and even after).
What to do?
O.K., it's true, I really have a 10 year old iMac G4 and everything still works! ...... Very slowly So, I was looking forward to updating to a maxed out, new Imac in hopes of having another long run. Sadly, it will have to be the 21.5 inch one, because the wife absolutely hates the big one. ("Why do you need to see your email as big as a t.v.?") Then my brother told me about this site, kind of wish he hadn't, because now there may an update in October. Don't care about Retina display, but really want the newest in processors, to hopefully hold off buying another computer for 5-10 years. So, any thoughts? Do I hope the dinosaur holds out another few months and suffer in slow motion computing? What if there isn't anything new by then, wait another few months based on rumors? Hmmm???

Please don't get rid of the Super Drive! What do you need a thinner iMac for? You aren't carrying it around are you? USB 3.0 please, why does it take so long for USB 3.0?. It would also be nice to have more USB ports; I don't like using hubs. I sure hope they don't get rid of desktops!
