The new iMac core i7 is just sick

This has to be one the best blessings in disguise....

I was forced to switch my work from my MBP+Cinema display to a desktop-based setup, so I decided to order the new core i7 as it seemed pretty decent.

Now I've never been an iMac person, always preferring a tower/monitor setup, if it isn't a laptop, but when I got this thing setup, it is the dogs bollocks. I've never been one neither for glossy screens, but somehow it's just meant to be on this gentle giant - rich and colourful where everything pops.

At first, I was "jesus, this thing is frikken huge", but after a 2 days playing and installing and getting friendly with it, it has very very quickly become "normal". Oh, my poor MBP, it's going to be be painful working on it at any point again!

I just ran 50 RAW NEF images through DxO and it was like it was pissing low quality JPEGS I can get used to this!!
