I'm willing to buy a high end 21.5 iMac (3.2Ghz with 5670 gpu, the 27" is just too big for my use as well as too expensive).
Obviously it won't be long before the next refresh so I'm tempted to wait, but: it appears the new MBPs are interesting for gaming only starting from the high end 15" because of the GPUs.
Do you think the same could happen to the low end iMacs, having great CPUs but not so good GPUs, making them almost a "non-upgrade" when considering games?
That would make me buy the high end 21.5 right now since I don't care for Thunderbolt and raw CPU power, and there obviously won't be a redesign and SSDs as standard yet.
I don't have big needs for games actually: it's 90% World of Warcraft basically, and my ultimate MBA 13" handles it surprisingly well but I miss the screen size.
I know the current iMac handles WoW ok, but if the next ones perform much better and allow the push the graphic options all the way up I would wait...
I know nobody can answer for sure but some people here seem to be pretty well informed about GPUs evolutions and stuff
