although i wanted a new pb. this imac is truly amazing, all the new features i think jobs was right that it is one of hte best computers he has ever made.

That's a toughie. If you don't think you'll want the 50% faster GPU or built-in isight, go with 1. If you go with 2, you could spend $200 (or whatever it is in Canada) to upgrade to 1.5GB, which is the most cost-effective upgrade for the new iMacs.

I have the entry-level 17inch.

Internal Super-drive would be nice.

Mighty Mouse would also be nice, as I was planning to throw the Apple mouse away and use my comfy notebook mouse instead.

Trying to find a reliable CDN$ price for a 2Gb memory chip - if I upgrade the memory, I'll probably max it out in either machine. If the 2Gb is considerable cost, then that could sway my decision.

Not so bothered about iSight, as I was planning to use a seperat webcam. I need the freedom to show the kids off to the Grandparents - could get annoying moving the iMac around, just to show the kids running around!

FrontRow/with remote would be an interesting gimmick to try out, but not sure I'd need it (I have legs).

Seeing mixed comments about the GPU 'upgrade'.

I'm mad because I dont have enough for one

man i wish i was younger. all i'd need say is "daddy please" heh. oh those were the days. back when i got... um... Zelda: Links Awakening

i WANT ONE OF THESE MACHINES! I've never wanted a mac desktop before. but now. wow. considering selling my TV, PowerBook and Xbox just for this. it will take over all them. EyeTV, DivX watching, no need for Powerbook now everyplace I go has a mac.

I love my Rev. B 20" iMac... yeah boo, about the graphics card I missed out on, the minor CPU bump, the integrated iSight-- But what makes me a little bit more bummed is the remote w/ that app, 'Front Row,' and the fact that the ports are along the bottom of the back (easier to access and organize than the way it is on mine).

But I'm trying to take deep breathes and not get too sad. I really do love my iMac...

EXACTLY
i wonder if that will be included with Leopard or whatever 10.5 is or after you purchase a remote. i would absolutely love that and buying a new iMac just for it is outrageously outside my unemployed student budget..

There is no TV tuner built in.

Not yet, at least. >>
