This is something I have been deliberating for some time (https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/mac-upgrade-path-confusion/27661).
I was/am expecting I’ll go with a replacement large iMac - But if they launch a display tomorrow I will very likely go with that in combination with either a higher spec Mac mini or a MacBook pro.
I am more than a little sceptical though since if the iMac is delayed due to the panel wouldn’t it be odd that they can release a display. Why wouldn’t they use those panels in an iMac unless the iMac would have a higher spec panel, in which case would the standalone display be desirable?
One plus with a display is that you could presumably use multiple displays together which is an interesting thought (I use a dual screen setup now).
I seriously cannot wait for tomorrow. I just hope that, desperate as I am, there is a week or so to weigh up the options armed with the full knowledge of what is avaiable.
