Ok, so I ordered my iMac before christmas, and supposedly the bookstore is going to get it in tomorrow. I didn't sign anything to buy it or anything like that, so I might try and wait a week (1 week from today is 1 day past macworld).
If I can't for some strange reason get out of the purchase, does Apple offer any kind of upgrade? It'd suck to get a brand new iMac and have it be out of date in less than a week. ~ K 1 ghz iBook G4 w/768 MB of RAM, 30 GB HD 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod Athlon 2000+ w/512 MB of RAM, 1x 120 GB HD, 1x 250 GB HD |

The iMac was updated relatively recently, so I'd hazard a guess that you won't likely be missing anything. That being said, Apple does not offer upgrades on hardware purchased prior to a product refresh/replacement...so even if a new iMac were to be introduced at MWSF, unless the bookstore itself were to allow you to return the machine for a refund/exchange, you'd be out of luck.
Ah, the 'perils' of buying hardware before Macworld... (note: As it always has been, the ground rule for buying Apple hardware is thus: if you need it now, buy it now. If you can afford to wait and see if something new is going to replace what you were planning on buying, then wait.) |

Yeah, well, I kind of need it now as my primary desktop is sitting at my parent's place. Either way I planned on using this machine for the next 5+ years anyhow, so regardless of what happens I think I'll be happy.
Of course, if they toss a blu-ray drive into the 17" w/2 gig of ram for the same price it is now, well, there's a lot of vodka in the fridge!! ~ K 1 ghz iBook G4 w/768 MB of RAM, 30 GB HD 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod Athlon 2000+ w/512 MB of RAM, 1x 120 GB HD, 1x 250 GB HD |

Fat chance of that, the price of the machine would have to go up $700 to cover the cost of a a Blue-ray drive.

Welp, hopefully since it's only 3 months in and the average update time is 6 months, I won't miss anything. Live and learn. ~ K 1 ghz iBook G4 w/768 MB of RAM, 30 GB HD 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod Athlon 2000+ w/512 MB of RAM, 1x 120 GB HD, 1x 250 GB HD |

I'm hoping so. I'm also hoping its problem free, because I'll be selling my 1.42Ghz iBook G4 to help pay for it.
