The new Macs look amazing. And the fact they you can use Bootcamp to run Windows now makes the choice even easier and less scary in my eyes. I can invest in a nice shiny mac and still have the option of running Windows on it (blasphemy, I know, but still reassuring

).

The Mac Pro is very impressive, but there aren't many (any?) apps that actually take advantage of the architecture. For now I think (for a normal user -- that is, no video rendering or something) an iMac is looking like an awesome option.

I was hoping a new generation of MacBook Pro's would be out today with the newest keynote, but as the rumors flew around about it all being the iPods/iTunes stuff my hopes weren't high. I'm thinking if there's not a new generation by Christmas then I will be getting a 20"/24" iMac.
