So do I lol. I constantly have :
Windows 7 x64
Windows XP Pro
Ubuntu 8.04.
I admit, quad would be useful for that. But Apple really isn't looking to stick quad cores in from what I can tell.
It already has the design of the new Cinema Display. I was picturing something more like the iPod Touch instead (round-edged but maybe not chrome).
But looking at the current MacBooks I think it will stay hard-edged and just be a variation on the current design--only thinner and with less chin.
I wouldn't mind seeing the back change from black to metal, though.
And for the love of Pete, BLACK KEYS AND MOUSE already! The white does not match

I still have my 24 inch (1st Gen) 2.16 running tiger. Awesome machine. The only way I would upgrade is if they have the following:
30 inch display
Dual core w/hyperthreading (4 total cores)
8Gb max ram
Don't really care for blu ray. As long as apple includes blu ray support in iMovie/FCE/FCS (100% editable), I can always buy an external if needed. Prefer to keep my media on a hard drive and stream it.

The things I want to see in an iMac.
Quad Core i7.
At least 4 memory slots.
LED displays.
Same form factor as LED Cinema Display (even if it is 4" thick). I wan't to run dual displays side by side that match.

Maybe their goal wasn't to get thinner and they found a new more efficient way to build them and it just so happened to be thinner.
Pure inconsequential speculation here, but I wonder if they will use the same process for molding the aluminum MBPs to mold the new iMac casing. Perhaps this will be a factor in the rumored price reduction?
I wouldn't say "nobody"--I'd like to be thinner! Although the rest of the list would be nice too.
People who are into the style of the computer and who use it in a public area like their living room may indeed respond well to a thinner, sleeker model.
Thinner? Why? I don't mind thicker if thicker means better, but if thinner can out do the current iMacs, then so be it....
...just as hard for Apple to introduce FM radio on a Nano.
yea I couldn't believe they were highlighting the FM radio of the new nano...its like, uhhh it took you this long to add that?
For got to add some images:
Fake, I know but still funny.
maybe not
nope
maybe... who knows

I'd buy an iMac that looked like the first image in a second!
That's because devs aren't writing games for Mac, so Steam has little reason to have a port of their software.
EDIT: That wasn't a serious question. I know why games aren't programmed for Mac, and I know why Steam isn't on Mac either. My point still stands, DX11 coming out means putting on hold any computer purchases until they come with a supported video card.
you saw it here first
^_^
That looks pretty hawt.
Or just base it on this:

To the british who edited my image, please edit the others. It only makes it fair to everyone.
No its not.

I've been waiting for the next iMac update to retire my old MacBook Pro (Core Duo 2.16GHz), but if Apple is seriously going to continue using Core 2 Duos, it looks like I'll probably be waiting even longer to upgrade.
Why doesn't Apple understand that nobody cares about a marginally thinner desktop computer? I can understand it for laptops, but seriously, I want a desktop so I can have some power.

You won't see a 30-inch iMac. Overkill. You barely see any mainstream 30-inch displays.
Unless Apple is now all about the display and they make a Pro ed. of the iMac, and price it accordingly.
My wish list:
#1- Quad Core
#2- Thinner chin to look more like a display, or as others have mocked up like an iPhone that has been stretched out left to right with black on top and bottom.
#3- Extended Keyboard standard again. Not that crap thing with a wire coming out the back.
#4- Swiveling display aka rotation. Nice for designers and such.
Don't think the iMac should get Blu-Ray first. That's a PRO thing, not a "General Audience" thing.
