| The new iMac, HOLY COW I have never wanted an iMac until today. The new ones are impressive. But has anyone noticed that its using the same glass for the screen as the iPhone? And there were a ton of rumors about the new macs being multi-touch by the end of this year. I was just wandering if anyone lives near an Apple store and could get a closer look. Do you think I'm crazy?  |

| Apple said that they are not touch screens and that is still a research project, although they are beautiful.

| I love the white theme. I miss it already. I hate glass screens. it will reflect everything. I want one though. It has an apple logo on it.

| I think they look very beautiful, and Apple have managed to stay on target with this one by emphasising all the things that are great about the previous iMac design and improving on it without going overboard. Bravo Apple.

| they are very nice. I've never been a glossy screen fan, but I must say I have seen other people with MacBooks, and it isn't as reflective as I thought it would be. Unannounced Mac Mini upgrade to core2duo! w00t! |

| Someone else posted about the question of a touch screen. I don't get the touch screen love in a desktop. I hate reaching for the mouse as it is...I can't even imagine having to reach for the screen to select a command. In a handheld device, touch screen makes total sense. Otherwise, I don't get it. |

| Well, I have been waiting for this day since November last year, when I vowed I would buy a new iMac when they released a new/updated design. The day arrived and I'm glad I waited! I saved several hundred by purchasing the minimum amount of RAM from Apple, and getting it from a 3rd party. Hopefully, I'll see it sometime next week, my birthday is Saturday and I couldn't think of a better birthday present. Of course, I'll have to wait a little longer than that. Yippy Skippy! iLife 08 looks cool, especially iPhoto and iMovie, makes me want to get a video camera. |
