The dream machine 27-inch iMac has started shipping

According to AppleInsider, Apple has started shipping!

I’ve been bouncing back and forth between which machine I want when I upgrade – the biggest, best iMac ever, or another Mac Pro.

I’ve had my current G5 duo for several years. I got it just before Apple switched to the Intel chip. It’s still able to run everything I need to run, but not at the speeds that I’d like. Plus my monitors are aging and need to be replaced. My initial instinct was to go with the tower, since it’s upgradable, but then it occurred to me… the only upgrades I’ve put in my current tower have been a second hard drive and additional memory. The lowest price tower retails for $2500, and the highest (standard) iMac retails for $2000. Plus, I’d still have to spend several hundred dollars on a new monitor (or monitors), thus, for me the decision has been made. (plus you can get a slightly better deal at Amazon.com)
