Buying a new iMac - now or wait?
I know this may be a difficult one to answer, but I am interested in peoples' opinion...
I have been looking to replace my home computer for some while and after much deliberation have decided to go for an iMac (having always been a PC man previously). I do quite a bit of video encoding and other processor-intensive stuff, so I am going to go for a 27" i7 model with an SSD drive as well. I am bursting with excitement about it (childish, I know, but I am).
Then I find out there are new 2012 models, perhaps around the corner. Do you think I should wait a few weeks (months) to see what the new models offer? Or should I jump in now? I'd hate to buy now to find there's something much better only days away. On the other hand, I hear the Ivybridge processors are no real improvement (performance wise) over Sandybridge. And I don't do gaming, so a better graphics card is of dubious benefit.
What's your thoughts? I'd be grateful for any opinions.
Thanks
