New iMac and Mac Mini Models to Retain Current Pricing, Add 8 GB RAM Module Options

Screw that! I don't want a 30" system on my desk! 27" is perfect - if you need an extra 3" of screen space then you must be doing some RIDICULOUS multitasking!

I dosagree those of us working with DAWs like Logic need the 30".....

You shouldn't ^^.

IF you run a couple of light games on it you see it's barely able to support them, if you want a machine that will keep offering an acceptable amount of performance for the next 3 years (no talking about games but all software and future OS) discreet graphics is the way to go still.

After Haswell we'll see but for the moment HD 4000 isn't enough.

I have an HTPC with HD2000 and it's fine, HD4000 is much better and adequate for my needs. Intel's integrated graphics are pretty good.

With the thinner form factor, I'd guess that RAM is no longer user upgradeable.

It is on the 27". Big bummer for those looking for the 21.5", especially since the 21.5" also comes with a 5400 rpm HDD. 🙁

ah the mini has that fusion drive too

I missed that during the presentation. Makes sense that they both would have this tech.

Okay, glad I have to wait another 2 years to upgrade.

Could someone confirm - did the iMacs 'released' yesterday go up in price?

On completely unrelated news, the first iMac user reports that the chin fell off due to improper welding.
