Honestly the thinner iMac is not created to save an extra 3/4 inch on your desk. The new iMac is simply an update to the last iMac which was one of the most successful desktop computers in history. I am going to order mine at midnight the second it is on sale, and configure the largest one with every available option…

Thanks all. 10 people responded to me saying the same thing! This is the best response I have ever received from posting on Gizmodo, LOL.

ANybody else here in their 40s? I haven't had morning wood for so many years I can't remember the last time I had it. What the hell. Enjoy your youthful penises, boys. I suppose I'll be needing viagra in another decade.

Not a bad photo. I myself have shot much more interesting photos of planets that are 200,000 light years away.

You were a fool to buy a cheap iPad mini that is marketed to those who cannot afford a full size iPad. The people buying them in droves don't have full sized iPads. This is not the beginning of the end of the largest and most successful tech company on the planet. Their days at the top cannot last forever but the…

You won. As a color specialist for 20 years, my iPhone 5 has the closest screen calibration to a high end calibrated display out of any smartphone I have ever seen. Nothing worse than a blue display to make your portraits look like zombies.

No the Apple IIe was the beginning of the end.

Where can I get Opium??? I need something to go with my daily scotch.

I have been in the advertising industry since computers first came out with desktop publishing. In New York, which is still known as the capital of the Advertising world, I have never seen or heard of a studio that is not 100% mac based for the production artists and the art directors. As far as retouching goes, which…

Well, if you ever get a job in an office in the graphics and advertising industry you will be working on a Mac. At least, if you live in the U.S. So I hope you stay fluent in OSX. One thing I know is my industry will never switch to a PC environment.

Ah, I see. Maybe I do then. I am able to save around 20 grand a year after I pay the bills. This is with zero money put away for retirement or my kid's college fund, etc... You are supposed to save 15% of your earnings so I should be saving most of this 20 grand. Yet I usually wind up buying stuff. THis is a bad…

they do, but I am a photo retoucher. Bought my first mac at 19 when photoshop first came out. Back then a good mac was 8 grand. (Just my video card was 2 grand, and a 21 inch monitor was over 2 grand) Borrowed 8 grand of my parents and it took me over a year to pay it back from the money I made retouching and color…

I once bought a friend an orange iMac when they came in colors for his birthday. I was not that wealthy then. I was in early or mid 20s. But I value my friends and I knew he was too cheap to buy a new computer and I wanted to get him off his crappy PC. To this day he is a mac user of course. Once you go mac....

If I build a PC and install OSX will it come with a 3 year no hassle warranty and an apple store 2 miles from my house that I can take it to any time I need immediate service when parts fail? I don't have a minute to take a crap sometimes let alone order parts from all over and build a PC and then diagnose the…

No you always remember. I will still drive an extra mile to save a few cents for gas at a cheaper station, and I go to great lengths to save $10 here, $10 there, always comparison shopping and researching ways to save $. At the end of the year I don't save more than a few grand and sometimes I save nothing. A better…

I am not going to soldier anything, because as you can see on Apple.com in iMac specs, the 27 inch has 4 DIMM slots that are user serviceable.

Well, $120k in NYC isn't that much money. You still can't buy a nice medium size house unless you marry someone who makes $160k, because a decent house is between $750-1.1 million. One benefit where I live though is that you can buy other stuff like gadgets pretty eaily as long as you can make your mortgage payment.…

Whatever level you are, there are always people around you living on a different scale of wealth. I shaped my life and career in a way so that I can buy many small things in the $1000-$10,000 range. I sought out a career 20 years ago that quickly rose to a six figure salary and I married a woman who makes far more…

I am not happy to see that the ram in the smaller 21 inch iMac is not serviceable, but I never get the small machines. Luckily Apple kept the 4 slots of the 27 inch user-servicable.

Funny how I don't relate with most Gizmodo geeks. I guess people who have time to post on gadget blogs are typically younger and therefore more about price than anything else. I think the 27 inch iMac is a total steal at $2000. Even when I likely add another grand by maxing most of the options. At 43 years old, the…
