Default ZOMG! They're Torturing the New Macs Already!

Poor Mac Mini, poor iMac, stripped of their dignity and their circuitry all at the same time!

Not to take this off topic but did either of you see the article on Appleinsider I think... about how the new iMacs performance is not better than the last models?

The CPU performance is the same; the GPU performance with the new Nvidia chipset will no doubt be better.

When Snow Leopard hits, that GPU will also boost general purpose computing via OpenCL.

So, overall, a good boost for new buyers, probably not a compelling upgrade for last gen owners, unless you *really* need the GPU for gaming or video work.
