How is glossy screen on iMac? Quad core coming?
I already have a MacBook Pro but now have decided to sell my old Windows XP desktop and replace that with an iMac. I have wanted one for the last 3-4 months but held off with all the rumors of the new iMac.
Overall I'm very impressed with the new iMac and it was well worth the wait. My only issue is how are most people finding the glossy screen to be? I've used a laptop once and found the glossy screen hard to deal with but i was in an area with bright sunlight. This would be used in an area with no windows. I'm almost tempted to hold off for the next upgrade thinking that maybe if there's a lot of complaints there will be a choice of a glossy and non-glossy screen like on the MacBook Pro.
Also, is there anything on the market that can be either fit on the screen and removed as needed or even a cover that can be put onto the screen to help with the glossiness? I'd like to hear it's not a problem because I'd really like to go with it.
Also, what does Intel have on the roadmap? It seems I've heard there's a quad core desktop chip coming out late this year and a mobile quad core chip coming out early next year? I would imagine both the MacBook Pro and iMac could be seeing an update to that.

quad core laptop chips would definately be in an iMac. i plan to buy the 2nd generation of this iMac with quad core too. until then my quad G5 has to serve well :-)

The mobile quads are coming in 2H 2008. Once ready, they will probably be not suitable for the Macbook Pro as they will have a TDP of 45 W.
