27" Retina iMac
Buy new iMac27" or wait till retina comes out? When will that be? Anyone?
@markoprljic 27" retina? My guess is minimum 2 years, 5120x2880 is no joke.
@cvitan Hmmm... interesting .... not sure then. Thanks.
@tjernlund just for fun - whats your guess on when we will see a 27" Retina iMac? I say 2-3 years. (cc @markoprljic )
@cvitan @markoprljic I agree. I wish it was sooner, but I think early 2014.
@tjernlund @cvitan @markoprljic Latest rumor around retina iMacs is the Sharp display with 3840x2160 due in February: http://t.co/pK9Cm5CS
@johnwilander @tjernlund @markoprljic Interesting, but if the monitor itself is $5500 that will be a very expensive iMac!
@cvitan @tjernlund @markoprljic Aaah. So you're looking for a _cheap_ 27" retina iMac. Didn't think of that. Dell?
@johnwilander @cvitan @markoprljic Heh. Well not saying cheap, but less than $3500 or so at least. Don’t think Apple would do it otherwise.
@tjernlund @cvitan @markoprljic Another challenge is getting a GPU that copes with that many pixels into the sleek, warm iMac case.
@johnwilander @cvitan @markoprljic Price and GPU is why I’m thinking retina will come as a pro Mac Pro screen first.
@tjernlund @cvitan @markoprljic Exactly. Non-mobile GPU in new Mac Pro and a retina Cinema Display. That's my belief too. Truly a pro setup.
@johnwilander @tjernlund @markoprljic Time to start saving, then :)
