Sold my iMac

it is a pretty cool little machine. i have had mine for about two hours now...
getting use to the smaller real estate is a little hard but worth it
I'd give Surface a try.
I have, and have to admit it left me pretty impressed, superb build quality and performance. It will be on my shopping list when my iPad 2 needs replacing.
Ahhhh, I'm in the same boat as you OP. Sold my iMac and I find myself gravitating towards the 15" rMBP day by day. And my iPad mini keeps me occupied as we speak.
What to do, what to do?

You can just wait few more years for the *new* iMac 2012 to come out from the bushes with his *new* amazing design and just buy one...
How much did you get for it? I am moving to the dark side and will be selling mine in a couple of weeks.
I love my iMac but I spend 95% of my time in Windows due to AutoCAD so it's just more efficient to stay there. I still have my trusty MacBook though.

Are you still loving the rMBP? I'm having second thoughts! Mostly due to the missing 27". I bought the base rMBP with 8GB RAM so I am thinking of returning to get the 16GB. I don't know maybe I'm just being stupid lol
well, just returned from my local Apple store. I am keeping my MBPr!!!! I've been going back and forth about returning it and buying a 27" iMac when they came out (missing my old one, somewhat). this was until i saw the screen of the 21" iMac. RETINA does change everything. so, i am having no regrets about my 15" MBPr purchase. I will purchase a Thunderbolt later...
But the Thunderbolt screen is the same as the new iMac, maybe a little bit worse due to the gap between the screen and the glass panel

true, but maybe Apple will have a Thunderbolt some time next quarter, that will be of a similar build as the new iMac. the lack of real estate on this MBPr is changing my computer habits, but when i need the extra screen i scale up which look pretty good.
i guess my point is i am really starting to love this MBPr since it was only going to be around (for me, since i bought during the holiday return policy) until the new 27" iMacs came out. the daily "buyers remorse" rather the "damn, i wish i had waited for the iMacs" has left my mind. the iMac at the store was really good looking but i really found that i wasn't missing as much as i thought granted it was a 21" i was looking at. Anyways, i've loved and never had any real issues with any of my Apple products.
my OP was due to me missing/regretting the sale of my first 27" iMac (fully loaded). now i am completely happy with this 15" MBPr. it was a seriously good purchase on my part. sometimes the grass is greener on the other side...
I'd give Surface a try.
Or, you know, lay on railroad tracks
The new iMac is sexy, can't wait or mine!
