And so june approaches, the question of the future macs dawns upon us. Apple are retinising their displays, but would the iMac have one. And who wants one? Please vote, and comment!

A retina display on a 27in iMac makes no sense - indeed, they's have to deploy a desktop GPU to drive this - the AMD 7980M certainly would be wasted with Retina - leave display alone and benefit from better graphics is best policy for 2012.
I'd take retina, but what i WANT is a 30 or 32 inch screen.

The "Dude";14910059 said:Agreed. The current generation iMac screens are gorgeous at their current resolution. I just hope that they do indeed use the 7980M and not the rumored Nvidia card.
latest info (taken with a grain of salt) says gtx 680M breaks p6000 3dmark11 with 75-85watt which is mind-blowing. in any case, i hardly believe that gtx680m will be more than 5% worse than 7970m, probably 10% better but twice as expensive (as usual). so im kinda hoping for nvidia.
For the cost of doing retina on iMac, I would rather have other upgrades. Retina is about 75% marketing hype and from the looks of it a bunch of you are buying into it.
I don't think I'd trust any of this year's mobile card offerings (spectacular though they may be) to push around Retina pixels on a 27" screen. Especially if gaming is large part of what you use an iMac for.

How is higher resolution "hype"? I set a foot away from my ACD27" and it doesn't look as "crisp" as my phone. Granted a 'Retina' desktop display would be ~166ppi and not 324ppi but still, if Apple builds it I will start throwing money at my local Apple store.![]()
Same here. I'd take a 128 or 256 GB over retina in a heartbeat. Same for 30" or 32" screen, or 16 GB of RAM standard. Any of those appeal to me more than "retina" when the iMac is already basically "retina" as is from where i sit.
