You get used to the screen very quickly. After using this screen for about a month and looking at the 21.5", easily the 27" wins. Alot of space for me to work on photos and video. Congrats on your purchase, I know for sure you will enjoy the new iMac. If you want some apps, just go backto the previous pages in this thread...I've been reading some of the things folks have been posting/sharing in this thread and it's quality stuff.
I have the 27" iMac. Yes, you could buy the i5 Quad Core for $1899 w/ the education discount or the i7 Quad Core for an upgrade of $180.Concerning the graphics card, the quad cores come with an ATi Radean HD 4850 w/ 512MB. It's a pretty solid graphics card, not the best on the market, butit still works. I do not think you could upgrade that specific graphics card, unless you void the warranty and rebuild a brand new board for your iMac. Ifyou could afford the quad core iMac, then buy it. You would already be "future-proofing" yourself for software and the benchmarking for thesequadcores and really good. I believe the i7 is pushing really close to a Mac Pro.
I picked one of these up the other day and returned it within 24 hours. The multi touch is awesome especially with BetterTouchTool, becauseyou're able to create way more gestures both locally and globally. The problem is that as a mouse it sucks. I don't know if it was bluetooth lag orjust bad tracking but I found it incredibly difficult to use accurately.
I was gonna pick up a Magic Mouse on Black Friday but when I tried it at the Apple store, I wasn't overly impressed. It's a good mouse forsimple use but the functions are so limited. I was hoping for the swipe motions to include expose, spaces and the 4 finger swipe which I absolutely love on mytrackpad. Because of this, I chose to stick with my current mouse (Logitech MX Revolution) because it had buttons and scrolls for the previously mentionedabilities that I wanted. Another thing I hated about the Magic mouse is that it's not entirely ergonomic. While it's nice that the symmetrical smoothdesign consider left-handed user, I prefer mice that curve with the hands. What the Magic Mouse beats the MX Revolution at is portability and the fact that itdoesn't have to be plugged to a base charger when the battery dies.
