Well, get a load of this ? I walk into the local Apple retailer today with credit card in hand to purchase a new iMac, er..I mean an idiotic waste of money, and the general manager tells me to wait until Tuesday (tomorrow). Hmmm. That was interesting. He shrugged his shoulders kind of nonchalantly and said, "I could be wrong."
Metropolis,
That is strange. I'm expecting iBooks and Mac Minis, but not iMacs.
Before you go back to the apple store, did you look at Amazon.com? They have rebates on all the iMacs.
Nevertheless, I look forward to hearing from you about how much you like your new iMac. I think you're making a very smart purchase. The current iMacs are a fantastic value, since they all include big hard drives, airport, bluetooth, etc. I really think they're great. I do not see anyway there will be new iMacs tomorrow, but you're going to have a very recent machine. They were just updated May 3. Perhaps the manager simply wanted you to know about the new Mac Minis and iBooks, if they come out, before you made a decision. I don't know.
You seem to be picking the right time to buy a new Mac, and your reasons for a new machine seem valid to me! Enjoy.
Hmm? Though I can't believe an Apple store manager would discourage you from purchasing a Mac without reason, there's simply no way a new iMac is coming tomorrow.

I agree, it is less than 100 days since the last update - I don't think we'll see a speed bump until January time, and then a new Intel form later next year
so yeah just wait a day, you'll have better prices for all macs.... ??? who knows? like the waiting for intel macs will be long, and some people may just want until that, drop the prices can change that decision... anyways, we'll know soon now... Think secret talks about new ibooks?!!!
