When to buy the iMac that I want to buy?

I read this http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106201 message and was thinking if this points to the iMac update we saw on Apr 28 http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/04/28imac.html.

If so, am I update-safe (atleast for couple of months) you think, if I buy one today?

and which iMac is more popular the 20" 2.4ghz or 2.66ghz? Any suggestions?

I am a Mac newbie, early iPhone adopter.

Thanks,
Vin

well, the iMac was recently redesigned, so don't worry about that and about an update you should be good until January(ish)

Well the average user wouldn't notice a difference of .26, so it all depends if you need the bigger hard drive, more RAM, better video card.

But I would say that the 2.66 is more popular because of it being a better system and all.

Thanks Waterpolo820 for that info,

I just now read the 20" screen is not all that good. Do you think I should go with 24". I watch a lot of movies so a great screen (not necessarily bigger) is very much imp to me.

Any thoughts?

I'd have to agree and say your safe to update. And personally if i were buying a new iMac and had the cash i would go for the 24 inch screen

bigger screen

We have several of the new 20" here in the office and if I am honest, I have no idea what the people saying the viewing angle is crap are going on about!

Its fine for us - glossy screen is a sad feature of it, but apart from that the 20" is good. 24" is also very good, but sides the big screen/bigger specs, there are no other advantages over the 20". Both screens perform great for us.
