[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1327270, member: 38928"] The quick answer is this: If you need <insert any piece of technology you like> now. Buy it now. If you don't need it now, wait until you do. The more verbose answer: There's no sense trying to second guess what Apple may or may not do. There's no hard info around regarding new iMacs. You can try and and make educated guesses; e.g. the current ones have the near latest Sandy Bridge chipset and CPUs and a 6xxx series GPU so they are still what you may consider 'new'. There are newer CPUs and 7xxx series GPUs due early next year. You can consider the refresh cycle too. For iMacs, your unlikely to see a refresh based on past showings until later in the year. But sometimes they break this cycle. I'm rambling now and, if you've made it this far, I'd urge you to look again at my quick answer. It really is the only way approach buying any kind of tech. For the record (as you can see over here <----- ). I bought a 2009 27"iMac and I'm still as happy with it today as I was the day it arrived. I bought the best spec I could afford at the time and it's never let me down. [/QUOTE]
