[QUOTE="bbnck, post: 1752031, member: 384434"] Welcome to the forum :) No one can say for certain what features the next iMac will have, but the display on the current iMac is the best I have ever come across. From personal experience, you will find it difficult to come across something better. I don't know what the Adobe RGB coverage is on the current iMac, but it's difficult to find consumer displays that have 100% Adobe RGB coverage. I suspect this is due to the cost of producing a display that can cover the full Adobe RGB colour space. I can't say for certain whether the current iMac will meet your needs as a photographer, but if your primary concern is Adobe RGB coverage, it might be worth comparing Adobe RGB and sRGB coverage on your current monitor and comparing that with the current iMac to see if that will meet your needs. This might help guide you in deciding whether to sell your current computer and buy an iMac, or wait. Ultimately, no one knows but Apple what features the new iMac will have, when it is due to be announced and whether its price will remain the same or go up. If you do choose to buy an iMac now, it is reasonable to expect it to last for many years into the future. You'll find many people on this forum still using Macs bought 5 to 10 years ago. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
