That's not that easy in Spain. While Apple has good presence and fair sales, there aren't many refurbished products available at Apple's web here. Purchasing at US store would have the extra expense of duties and taxes, the guys at customs are getting more avid and cleverer. Not sure I'd buy second hand a €2k Mac, but it'd be something to reconsider if the new iMac isn't of my liking.

The issue for me is the lack of information. If the new 27" iMacs are going to be released by early 2021 and will be using Intel processors, I'd wait. But if they're going to sport the new Mac processors I might prefer sticking with a current Intel machine. I wouldn't like being a guinea pig for the new processors paying full Mac prices.

Damn, to wait or not to wait, that is the question

Rest in peace, Mr Holm. A great actor IMHO.

Finally! All that page at the Stax thread will be removed as well? Unsure that's a fake monologue.

Looks like Apple is going to release a new iMac The WWDC is going to be later this month as an online event. Would that explain that iMac orders as of today in Spain won't be delivered until early July? I'm kind of waiting.

That text is pretty much in the line of the change of mind that Peter Speake-Marin took when he decided to start the Naked Watchmaker website and stopping making watches under his brand.

Nice video. Would this guy be the same Naked Watchmaker? He'd be Peter Speake-Marin.

I've been watching a French TV show available on Netflix called "The Eddy". About a jazz club in Paris. Good music, interesting plot... They say it's a "mini series" but it's 8 episodes almost 1 hour long each.

The Knuckledragger 3rd Memorial Slow Forum Post

I'd say that this Is not a lie. He's doing to the best of his ability -
Thanks for the replies. If grapevine is right it'd take more than 8 months a new iMac to be released, and if it's released it'd be a whole new architecture which might be good, or rather bad until refined. I don't do video editing, nor heavy images processing, although I might occasionally play some racing or flight simulator game which I haven't done in 10 years. Most of my computer use is light stuff in the streaming TV, text processing, audio processing, net surfing, filesharing... My plan is getting a 27" iMac with 6-core i5 3.7GHz (9th gen), 8GB (upgrading to 3rd party RAM would be considered), 1TB SSD, Radeon Pro 580X. I might consider upgrading the graphic card to VEGA or having the i9 installed, but I don't think any of those is worth the expense for me. As a matter of fact I'm assuming that such device would be a waste, so a much cheaper 8th gen processor with the lower Radeon Pro 570 would be equally good, but possibly more reliable for producing less heat. Any opinions and advice?

Happy Birthday, Brent! I wish you a very great day, with your kids, and all the people that these weird days allow around you. Big hugs

According to MacRumours one shouldn't buy a new iMac now since it's due to replacement soon. However looking at the update times once the 380 days barrier is passed, next update may take as long as 6xx days. We're now at 43x days since last update. Do you have any information that could be useful to a prospective iMac buyer? I'm not in a hurry but waiting for the new iMac to be released for another year might be a bit too long.
