Man, I'm a little torn right now. I dont' know which model I want! I was kinda hoping for a quad-core processor in a smaller package, but that 27 inch screen is amazing!
Now my external drive isn't sufficient enough for backups either. I only have a 500GB FW drive, now I would have a 1TB internal drive. AHHhhh!
Folks will quickly pick up on this point I am about to make as well...regarding the new 27" iMac.
If someone is looking for a new computer...and wants a big display...the new 27" iMac is a heck of a deal.
Consider this...the new 27" iMac with the LED display & 3.06ghz core 2 duo processor is $1699. Now consider that the 24" LED external display Apple sells is $899.
Now of course the 27" monitor is worth more than the 24" monitor...but subtract the $899 cost for the Apple 24" external monitor from the $1699 price of the new iMac...and that's only $800 for the computer portion of the iMac (4 gig ram, 1.0 tb hard drive, 3.06ghz CPU, ATI 4670 graphics).
For $800 bucks you can't even come close to getting an equally configured Mac-mini for that price.
Plus wait 4-6 months...and the $1699 price for the new 27" iMac will be $1499...making it an even better deal!!!
Of course if Apple reduced the price of the 24" external LED display...that would change the economics of the deal.

Well, they did it. Apple released their new iMac, MacBook, Mac Mini and "Magic Mouse". Many people said they wouldn't make a multitouch mouse because it would be to hard to touch and move at the same time...wrong. I haven't read up too much on the new feature for the iMac, MacBook and Mini, but information can be found on the main page of their site - Apple I'm a little anxious to read about it all to see the new technology they may have put it.

Just pulled the trigger on one of the new white MacBooks for my fiance. I was going to get her a 13" Pro but she loved her old white MacBook and thinks the white looks better. It still looks like a great little computer and I know she will love it.
For myself... I just sold my 24" iMac and picked up a 15" MacBook Pro.. but **** that 27" screen is tempting..
