I can hear them crunching numbers on their currency converters right now
Yeah it's the BTO upgrade costs that have me scared though haha.
Got a tip for us?

The 1Tb fusion drive option only includes 24Gb SSD instead of 128Gb previously ...
New Screens! Anyone know the color space???
So this update clicked all the checkboxes I had in mind to move up from my mid-2011 iMac including the new P3 display tech. I haven't seen a single good review (Ars, Verge, Engadget) comment on the new color space. Anyone know how well it matches up to Adobe RGB?
Also, any thoughts on the video card options?

This is why I need to wait for reviews. The M390X is suppose to be a rebadged M295X. Who knows what the hell an M390 or M395 is. M380? Forget it. However, if the M390 and M395 turn out to just be derivatives of the M295X, then the M390 would be the best bang for the buck.
The $1999 model is actual worth it now because you get Fusion standard. You can also choose the i7 6700K on $1999 model as well.
If you're getting a 5Gb external I personally would do 256 flash, its what I'm going to do.
Boom, ordered! 4ghz i7. 256G SSD. 395X. 8GB of RAM (will be maxed out upon arrival). Soooooo glad I waited.
Whats the big difference from these new models compared to a late 2014 5K 27" 3.5 i5??
Probably placing an order later today. I'm reaaaaaaaaaaaalllllly hoping they didn't change the 27" to where the RAM is non-user serviceable. I need 16 GB (for VMs) but am not paying $180 for the upgrade. I'm going to kick myself if I get the 8 GB and find the door on the back has been removed.
IMHO disappointing.
- CPUs look either Broadwell or the same Haswell (still DDR3 memory).
- No SSD by default. SSD part in a fusion drive is even less ? Could it be they moved to an actual hybrid HDD, like the Seagate ?
- Still TB2
- Still USB3, no type-C
- R39x = R29x at higher clock ?
- Still using really slow 2.5" laptop drives (5400 RPM) in the 21.5" model.
Looks like my 5K retina iMac "2014-edition" is not that far behind.
Still, will probably order the new keyboard and mouse. Happened already a few times that my mouse suddenly lost connection (the infamous battery placement issue).

Ram is still accessible. Tech specs page says: "1867MHz DDR3 memory; four user-accessible SO-DIMM slots"
I checked that too, spec says "User accessible - configurable to 16GB or 32GB" ...phew!
Is it easy to add extra ram yourself?Ram is still accessible. Tech specs page says: "1867MHz DDR3 memory; four user-accessible SO-DIMM slots"
Can you put a thing in a hole shaped like the thing and give it a little push? That's all it is.

Yes! Thanks for the info! I haven't priced RAM, but surely buying 2x4GB somewhere else is cheaper than $180.
They are saying faster SSDs (up to 2.5x) this will like them up with the ones in the MacBook pros
I just put my top spec 2014 iMac 5k up for sale.

Does this mean RAM that is compatible with 2014 iMac should also work in 2015 iMac?Ram is still accessible. Tech specs page says: "1867MHz DDR3 memory; four user-accessible SO-DIMM slots"
Seriously only Apple can add the Skylake processors and literally add nothing the people screaming for skylake were clamoring for.(TB3, DDR4, etc.)
Ah, now that I see how easy it is to upgrade the RAM myself, that takes one more decision away from configuring a purchase.
I don't do any work that is especially resource-intensive, so I'm thinking the middle-of-the-line (3.2 GHz) 27" would suit me fine, then I could dedicate the funds I have for upgrading to the storage, like the 512gb SSD.
Don't mind me, just thinking out loud here...
