Mine shows up Monday. I upgraded the processor and GPU, and ordered extra RAM from Newegg.

I was still happy with my Late 2009 27” iMac (after I installed an SSD), but I needed a second computer for use at at second location, and I was tired of schlepping the computer.

Eighteen months interest-free with a new Barclays card. I used this the last time I got an iMac so I cancelled my card and had my wife get one.

That's crazy nice resolution, but I can only afford 1920x1080 for now.

I have 13 inch Mac Book Pro, with retina display. It is really nice and sharp, but I don’t use it much. I hook up the Mac to a HD TV, so I can watch hockey games on NHL Gamecenter. The retina display is better, but games look better on a bigger screen. Back in the 80s, I was asking about using a TV set for a computer monitor. No one could give me an answer that I wanted to hear. Now, as much as I love that retina display, I use a 32 inch 1080p HD TV as my monitor. It works for me.

It’s time to replace my early 2008 Mac Pro. It has lived a very long and very productive life. I am intrigued by this machine but am contemplating going the Mac Book Pro/27” Monitor combo so I have the option of portability. Anyone have an opinion?

Desktops remain more capable than anything portable, in particular phones. The mobile machines do one thing, and that is, be mobile.
