Why you should refrain from upgrading the iMac's

In a surprise move today, Apple upgraded their line of iMac's. While they did a tremendous job of reducing the price-tag for the 24' iMac to $1499, users should probably wait and not upgrade unless they absolutely must.


Few things that were lacking:
  • Anti-Glare screen: So far Apple allows this option only on the expensive 17' Macbook Pro. I am hoping this irritating issue will be resolved soon by asking the anti-glare option available on all iMac's.

  • OS X v10.6 upgrade: We are probably a couple of months away from Apple releasing the next version of the OS. Why would you buy the Mac OS X v10.5 Leapord now and pay for an upgrade in a couple of months.

  • Blu-ray player: It is just a matter of time before Apple includes this given that HD has finally taken off and the blu-ray licensing issues have finally been resolved.
