My iMac

Yesterday, I sold my MacBook Pro and ordered a new iMac!

I want the 27'' model (the screen is HUGE), but it may take some time to be delivered so if I do not have it by the end of next week I will probably buy the 21.5'' iMac.

Being a photographer, I need the extra space of the new 27'' iMac as well as the extra power of a 3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU. Also, I was constantly using my MBP with an external monitor (that is also sold) and therefore the MBP was mainly used as a desktop machine; so my thought was "why not sell it and get a real desktop machine instead?".

I will let you know when I get my new iMac.

Note: the 27'' monitor is also good for iPhone programming :)

Macworld 2008 wish list and predictions

• New displays: I hope that Apple will introduce new displays with build-in iSight cameras. I think that the new display sizes will be 20'', 24'' (as they are already used in iMacs, there is no point of having two different sizes) and 30''. A price drop would be nice.

• Apple Aperture 2.0: I wish Apple introduces a new version of Aperture. Aperture 1.5.6 is sloooow, even when running on decent hardware, although it is a very useful piece of software.

• I would like to see updated Mac minis that have dedicated graphics cards.

• I really like to see Apple introducing a more advanced Mac mini computer -- this could be called Mac Mini Pro or Mac Pro Mini :-). I would like it to support at least 4Gb of RAM, have its own graphics card (the one that comes with the latest 17'' MacBook Pros), and has space for two SATA hard disks and one DVD-RW.
  

Also, it is almost certain that Mac OS X 10.5.2 will be out before MacWorld 2008.
