Our PC is getting ready to bite the dust. We'd love to replace it with an iMac. I purchased my iPad from their refurbished list, and love it, so we think we'd go that route with the iMac as well.
If you have one - what screen size? And would you go for the standard 8gb memory? Or wait for the 16gb to appear on the list?

If you can wait for the 16..I say do that. Mine has a 15 inch screen.(Laptop). My iMac has a 21.5 inch. |

We purchased a new iMac a few months ago to replace our 8 year-old previous model. We have the 8GB version with the 21"? inch screen. The next size bigger screen would not have fit on my built-in kitchen desk. Because the 8GB version is so much more advanced than our older iMac, it will definitely be plenty for our family, non-business use. I think that if you're willing to move photos to an external hard-drive or cloud, 8GB will serve you well for a long time.

We have 2 MacBook Pros 13" and 15". We have a 21" iMac and lots of ipads. We love our Apple products. No problems with anything so far. DS decided he needed a new wireless keyboard AND a fancy monitor to game with but other than that no problems with anything at all!

HI there! Love our iMac and think you will too. We switched the desktop over from PC early this year. It's more DH's than mine, since I hang out on portable devices more. He loves screen real estate and bigger is better - with that said we bought the 21.5" screen, and it's huge in our study. In the store he really agonized over the 27" screen, but he does not regret not getting it.
We also got 8gb of memory. It will handle well normal home computer activities, basic business stuff, and a fair bit of multi-tasking. I can do some level of photo editing, but if you do a lot and/or if photoshop (full version) is your main editing tool, you will want the 16gb. Ditto for any other high-maintenance software.
HTH - have fun!

I have the 24" 3TB 32gb. It was a bday gift. I love it. I had a 21" 500GB (so full I had to delete stuff regularly for it to run) 8GB. The new India so lightning fast. Editing photos is a dream. My big files open instantly in Lightroom and CS.
I have been fighting with my DDs laptop (gave her my old imac) for my embroidery software and I have to say I freaking hate windows. So counter-intuitive.
