27″ Quad Core Intel i7 iMac

imacIt’s not quite Tuesday yet, but for this installment of Technolust Tuesday, we will be drooling over the new 27″ quad core Intel i7 iMac.

I will be ordering the 27″ 2.8GHz quad core i7 iMac with 8GB RAM. If I can swing it, I’ll be ordering on Black Friday. If not, I will be ordering it the following week.

As soon as it arrives I will be posting a detailed review of everything from overall aesthetic appeal, to screen details, to port lineup and layout, ease of upgrading memory, and fine-tuned benchmarks. How fast are these things really? How do everyday tasks compare? Is Safari, iTunes or even plain old file browsing any faster? Is the screen bright enough? Is the glare bearable?

Then, for fun, I will be posting a head-to-head Geekbench benchmark comparing the new iMac to my current iMac: a 2006 model 20″ 2GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB of RAM. Then we’ll pit it against a late 2007 model 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM.

I can’t wait to see hands on how this new quad core iMac shreds through my daily work flow. Stay tuned…
