[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1267952, member: 24098"] I'd be surprised if it was. The 27" display is quite high resolution as it is - as a matter of fact, we've seen a number of complaints about font size as a result. As far as a time frame, that's anyone's guess. Apple is absolutely famous for its secrecy surrounding product releases (and if you're familiar with their history, you'll understand why). Anything you read elsewhere is mostly speculation. My advice is to buy the machine you need when you need it - it will continue to serve those needs long after an updated model is released. Not likely. Although the current crop of touch screen desktops and laptops are quite novel, that novelty wears off within minutes of using one. Human beings tend to suffer a malady known as "gorilla arm" - essentially, your arm tends to get tired of being held out, perpendicular to a screen to manipulate your (intended to be mouse driven) applications for more than a few minutes. Like 3D TV, it's one of those fads that looks great in theory, but doesn't work so well in the real world. Apple instead likes to keep touch interactions to where they make sense - on a pointing device - hence the "Magic Trackpad" and oversized trackpads on Mac notebooks, both of which fully support multitouch functionality.
