How would that GPU, and the standard one, fare with modern games? Is this a high end chip these days? It's been a long time since I played any game.

Those are some seriously beastly iMacs now

But seriously... The Retina Macbook Pros need an update pronto

I'm starting to wonder if we will see a design change of some sort with the new MacBooks as you would have thought they'd silent update them like the iMacs unless there was something announcement worthy on them... Or maybe I'm just clutching at straws here

This news makes me sad

I'm thinking they will announce the rMBP with the next gen iPads. I'm assuming it will just be a spec bump and price drop with the removal of the non retina mbps from the lineup. As they want to promote it as the flagship Mac it will get some stage time.

Yeah I hope so

Bah, was hoping for a Retina iMac to be unveiled... I guess that's off for another year.

Dr House · 25 Sep 2013 at 10:40

Thanks.

I will get one ordered today as I have been waiting for this

Steedie · 25 Sep 2013 at 10:56

They finally realised that 512MB graphics cards in the 27" as standard were a joke, well done Apple

Also is the SSD going to be much faster than the fusion drive?

bloodiedathame · 25 Sep 2013 at 11:29

Must resist.

Fusion drive uses the flash drive.

You can split them if you wish.

But on this new imac it seems the SSD is a PCIe drive and the fusion is not, or am I reading it wrong?

Just seen that there is a spare SSD slot in the new iMac models - Very nice

Tummy · 25 Sep 2013 at 14:26

Yaay! Looking to pick one up soon! 27" 3.5 i7 / 500GB Flash / 780 & 32GB RAM

.

Have they refreshed the MacBook air line? I'm looking to pick a 13" up as a replacement for my MacBook Pro, so I can have a bit more mobility.

They refreshed the airs in June/July.

So will you be able to add an extra SSD drive at a later date?

It would be cool if you could RAID 2 ssd drives

Yeah!

That would be pretty damn awesome... And speedy

You do know how much "4k" screens are right? I think there are currently only one or two out and they are both around £4k alone! The panels the 27" iMac uses can be had in monitors for anything from around £350 (rubbish ones) to around £600.

That'll be why they haven't released a "retina" iMac...

Prophet · 26 Sep 2013 at 13:23

Best part of £3.5K for a top spec 27"er!
