In any event, I've had glossy screens on an iMac and two MacBook Pro's and I can't complain. Each to their own and all though. Can't wait to order a shiny new 27" model.

Go buy a 20$ anti-glare screen protector and stop crying about apple not giving all the option you want.

Apple doesnt got many option but one thing for sure, you know what you buy and you know you got a good computer in your hands. If you want options go to Dell or Acer and hope for the best.

Sorry to sound skeptical, but does that actually work?

Hi, yes this is a workaround solution using an aftermarket box as HDMI is not natively supported.

There's a few conversion boxes on the market, I have the Kanex XD, it takes an HDMI source and outputs to Displayport BUT the iMac only supports 720p. It's great for saving desktop space but I'm not sure if this year's iMac will 1) even support this 2) improve the resolution.

"And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter."

So you need an adapter to get from a Thunderbolted Mac to a DisplayPort display, but no adapter to get from said Mac to any Thunderbolt device.

No fork.

I have worked with matte, calibrated Barco monitors with color temps and ambient light settings ... bla bla bla and color printing, press calibrations, dot gain and ink impurity corrections, proofs and the whole process. These days I turn around a brochure or a post card from the fast print shops on line using Photoshop and even (gasp) Pages (ok I admit I transfer to a PDF to Photoshop to convert to CMYK and correct color set up) and get amazing color fidelity using Apple's glossy screens. Technology has made the glossy screen totally ok for print work IMHO.

Nice to see someone take the time to answer a concern that resulted from someone throwing their 2 cents in, albeit in a currency that is generally not accepted here! I wasn't a fan of the glossy screen but am getting quite used to it with my 27" iMac. (This current system is fantastic, the new ones will rock.)

The new iMac has a box right below it, next to the iPad 2. New iMacs were an expectation and not bad machines even before the update. People have been bitching for the white iPhone a lot longer.

If the monitor has a Displayport rather than a Mini Displayport yes. Of course Thunderbolt will plug directly into other Thunderbolt slots.

This is a surprisingly 'mild' refresh, and the addition of the Thunderbolt ports is fine, but it's not like there's much use for them at this point (See: the fate of FireWire 800)

Or are we now talking about DisplayPort, mini-DisplayPort, Thunderbolt and mini-Thunderbolt?

The Thunderbolt port is functionally identical to the mini-DisplayPort connector except is will also function as a daisy-chained high-speed data bus (faster than USB3, it's actually an external PCI bus). We're all still waiting for the Thunderbolt hardware to make that a reality. RSN...

It did on the old 27" iMac but not the old 21.5" iMac. I imagine we'll get a fix on this in the next day or two.

There are licensing differences between the two and installation/updates are done differently, otherwise they are the same software.

Decisions, decisions.

Trying to decide if it's time to replace my 3-year old iMac for one of these new models. What to do?

This summer, Lion will come out and in September Apple has their annual Back to School promo where they have been giving away a free iPod Touch. Wouldn't be much of a stretch to think that Apple will extend the promo with the option to take the value of the iPod Touch off a new iPad 2.

That would be very tempting. So do I get the new iMac now or wait and get Lion preinstalled on a potentially spec-bumped iMac in Sept? Doubt my current iMac will lose much value in that time.

And that make you happy, why?

If there are any people who don't like shiny glassy things, it's worth noting. The fact that these people (including myself) keep harping on it means we are genuinely annoyed by the issue. We can't buy iMacs! That's annoying. We'll keep bugging you and Apple about it until something is done. Except for the reflective screen, the new iMacs seem pretty nice, but I can't use one.

The reflective screen issue is no less annoying than continued use of C2D processors in Mac minis, no backlit keyboards in MacBook Airs, crummy integrated GPUs in 13" MacBook Pros, no numeric keypad in the wireless keyboards, no xMac, etc.

What are you talking about? There are 4 slots. Keep the 2, add another 8 and you get 12GB. Only if you want to go all the way up to 16GB will there be a point where you have to discard RAM. RAM that can easily be sold elsewhere.

Not really my fight. I'd probably choose matte, but I'm not a professional photographer.

Although I'm personally looking forward to a Mini with Thunderbolt and Lion, I think Thunderbolt on the Air will be more valuable. It brings back Ethernet to the Air and may allow Apple to drop to a single USB port and save even more space.

Does widespread failure to adopt a previously high speed connection technology automatically translate into failure to accept a new high speed connection technology?

Do you have some cogent insight into what the challenges for Firewire 800 were in wide adoption in the PC market? How about some background into why Apple chose to support Firewire 800?

One of the more intriguing aspects of this connection technology is the direct access to the PCI Express buss AND future support for both copper and optical in this.

Question...

The last 27" imac had a mini dvi port so that it could be used as an external monitor. Now that apple has switched to Thunderbolt in both the 27" AND the 21.5" .....does that mean you will you now be able to use the 21.5" as an external monitor too?

Id like to be able to use it as one in the future if i get a macbook pro or air.

Thanks for any reply. :-)

Can anyone give me any tips on comparing the i5 vs i7 processors?

I use Logic Pro a lot and need to decide if the i7 is worth the upgrade. Also, is it strange that the 15" and 17" MBPs come with i7 default and the iMacs are an additional updgrade? is there any particular reason for that?

Anything a bit more in depth than "they're faster" would be tremendously appreciated.

It is not expensive, 107.00 plus shipping for a 8 gb kit. Remember that the 27 has 4 slots and only 2 are used with 2 of 2 gb.

I guess I should make myself a tinfoil hat?

Also..TB is like Firewire 800 on steroids. In other words I doubt many people use it now. In a few years, definitely. But it feels before its time. Even FW 800 has that feeling, in respect to most Mac users. Who will be using TB and how much? I am guessing just pros dealing with media or other large datasets, using it to plug into RAIDs or SSDs or some other media input device that saturates bandwidth. But hey. The iMacs are finally priced to move. Not complaining. If was in the market for a desktop I think the iMac would finally be calling my name.

I'm also sad that there isn't a matte option. If you are interested please sign the petition. If you aren't interested, please have the maturity to not belittle those that are interested in such things.

Looks like I'll be waiting one more year to see what the next cycle holds.

Note: I do own a bunch of AAPL, so I'm totally encouraging those that enjoy the current screen to buy one ASAP. Please

Last iMac had a mini display port, u needed an adapter to connect to a dvi equipped monitor. You can still go to macmall, etc and watch the spec. They still have those models. The adapter is 29 bucks on Apple website.

They just took an iOS game, from the looks of it. Remember iOS rules the roost now... They didn't even bother using an actual OSX game screenshot. At best even if it is an OSX game it is clearly a basic port of an iOS game.

Don't get me wrong, I love Apple, own an etc. etc. but this is quite uncharacteristic.

Come to think of it, look at that fence texture and the license plate. This is clearly Asphalt 6 for Mac or something like that.

I'm pretty shocked right now. This is Apple's marketing and commitment to gaming and GPU horsepower on a Mac? An iOS game on the fastest desktop Apple makes? Playing an iOS game on a 27" with a very high-end GPU?

The sad part is most people won't care anyways. I almost missed it myself, having been so used to seeing iPad posters and marketing graphics.

I get you, but there are about a hundred ideas a week that are spread ad nausea over gizmodo, mac rumors, and appleinsider. He's a fan who has said nothing disparaging, and has offered a benevolent, harmless comment that is helpful to those who would also like matte. Maybe we should let him live? Your fervor belongs to a rant about the state of the US economy...not directed against some online poster who is a fan of the exact same products you are but who would also like matte screens to choose from. You guys are on the same team, and like the same stuff. Seriously, if your best friend was nuts about matte screens, would you chew him out, or would you shrug out of indifference because you guys have bigger fish to fry?

How about just bugging Apple about it? The rest of us don't care. And would prefer not to see this tastes great/less filling argument every time a new imac comes out.

Write Apple. IF enough of you write Apple then they'll make it an option. IF you really wanted an IMac you would be more constructive with your complaint. Organize a letter writing campaign, etc instead of starting a tastes great/less filling argument.

Also it is very true you can find anti-glare screen protectors. Hell if there is such a demand for this then start a business catering to this need you are passionate about.
