Yep, me too. Best thing they've announced. And no, it's not new. But I wanted one and now I can have one. That's good.

It's nice to be able to follow such a display of new products online, but I wonder who these people are who are sitting in the audience and start cheering and clapping as if they'd just watch the Super Bowl.

Okay I can wait until December. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!
LOL, Apple wins again...
This tech has existed. Apple is just genius at introducing this stuff and claiming it's new.
Yeah, my mom's iMac is getting pretty outdated, but I can't see her upgrading to something that requires an external drive. The extra space it would take up would make the volume and width reduction somewhat meaningless.

I have a 27-inch iMac (and I love it). I'm a wedding videographer and editor. Customers want their weddings burned to DVD, whether you call that "living in the past" or not. Customers want it; it's a fact.
So basically I could never really use this computer, unless I buy their drive add-on. Which I never would.

Love the misleading headlines.
"Apple's new iMac is just 5mm thick, comes in 27 and 21.5 inches"

Yep... Apple just invented hybrid drives that have been on the market for the past few years.
INNOVATION
It's a shame that they didn't include 4 USB ports on the back for you to plug in an external DVD writer. That would have been nice. :'(

A bunch of Lego modulars would be a far cooler Christmas present for yourself!

lol @ that chubby chick with the glasses clapping and laughing looking around...
It sounds like its actually two separate drives managed by the OS as one volume

Well and making it accessible and that's no small feat. If it was it would've been done before.
its built into the intel chipsets. Just pair an SSD and a HDD and it'll do the same thing on 7 and 8 (probably Vista and XP too).

Apple stuff a 128 gig flash drive in it, the current ones are all 32 gigs
No you don't, apple JUST invented the fusion drive.
On the bright side, bet they are about to catch a good deal on the old model.

When your fans are oblivious to what's actually available in the real world, everything is new!
The tech they're copying is really good, though. It's nice to finally have it.

wat?
True that.
Bingo. That's the only thing that bums me out about my Retina MBP. I got hired to do my first video job this summer, a video of a middle school summer camp. The RMBP was fantastic for editing, but then I heard they wanted 40+ DVDs burnt so all of the kids could have a copy. =|

Do you mean how it's put into a desktop?
It's not rocket-science, and I'm pretty sure drives like these have been available for 4 + years. Still nice to see them add it in, but the revelations going on here have been funny.

Mac Pro people still getting no love.
They are very good at "perfecting" or making good use of something that already exists in a novel way, so they are good on that front.
The stuff most people were expecting from this event, the new iPad. Remember?
