Out with the old...

Apple let loose some new iMacs, Mac minis, and MacBooks today. Pretty decent spec bumps if you were waiting for them. Personally, I've been waiting on an iMac refresh. The new 27" model sounds awesome. I kinda wish it were 30", but 27" will suffice. Compared to the old high-end models, the new high-end iMacs are a great deal. And whereas before $2,199 got you the high-end 24", now $2,199 gets you a super high-end 27" i7 iMac.

However, on the low-end, it feels like you're being cheated a bit. $1,499 used to get you a 24" iMac. Now its gets you a 21.5". Granted, the new 21.5" model has a 1TB drive, faster CPU, and so forth, but still. Why did Apple get rid of the 24" iMac?
