Apple announces new iMacs with aluminum enclosure, glass displays

I can't abide glossy screens, they are such a step back. I was waiting to see the new iMac but as it is I'm tempted now to run out and but an old iMac.

I took a look at the Glossy imac Displays last night at an Apple Store. No thanks. To see you image and all of the lights in the background of the display would really tire the old eyes after time.

apple store in SF has the new iMacs in. they look great! sadly the magnetic side that used to store your apple remote is no longer there. i had an apple employee test it out and no dice on either side or bottom.

To #28, why don't you wait til you see one in the flesh?

To #29 I was gonna ask the same thing. Where is the power light? I know the power button is now on the right side of the back. Maybe the Apple logo will glow? Who knows? Maybe the power indicator will glow thru the black border like the iSight cam.

Thoughts?

I bought my intel imac last x-mas first of all the new imac alum is cheaper than i payed for mine and mine is plastic these are aluminium ?...
they have decided to put one bank of 1gb ram instead of mine 2 banks 500meg wich i had to replace with 2 banks 2gb loss of money for me i had full upgrade of 250 gb hard drive and 256 graphics more money again.

I have a serious situation here.

For my work, I was tasked to acquire an iMac last week (Thursday to be exact). Not knowing the product cycle, I purchased a 24" iMac (of the now previous generation) at Apple's store. Added a gig of ram to bring it up to 2GB total (had them install it)

This morning, I was dismayed to see the new 24" model, which costs pretty much what I paid for the iMac, but comes with 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo Extreme, 2x the hard drive, and better GPU.

It's not my money, but I am furious. Clearly the Apple store had these new units in the back, or were very clearly aware of its existence. Nobody made an effort to clue me in. While it's good business for them (clearing out old stock), it has soured me on the entire deal.

Anybody have any experience with returns? I'm still within my 14 day period, but with the RAM upgrade, would they still honor the 10% restocking fee? (An insult on its own really)

was anyone expecting/hoping the new iMacs would use LED displays instead of LCDs?

so, maybe in January = unified color scheme, LED, choice of matte/glossy, better GPU, and 45nm Penryn chips...?

Hmm, silver iMac, black accents, silver keyboard, white accents, white mouse... Looks like a hodgepodge of different manufacturers rather than the product of a consistent design idea. Really wish those Logitech diNove Edge keyboards worked with Mac. It might look sweet with the new iMac and a non-Apple black mouse.

I wonder where the sleep indicator light is, or if there is one.
