What's this currently clocking in at - $2500 or more? If so, F-no! I plan on purchasing at least a Dual Core 27" iMac and an iPad with my 'fun' money in the very near future. Had the X1000 been in the $1k-$1.5k arena, then I would have seriously considered putting the Mac off and going for it. I guess I'll just wait and purchase used when the time comes.
