Great show of the cool features, one correction, the last update of the iMacs before this one had FW 800 as standard, I know as I have a lab in a school with 5 iMacs that have FW 800 only.
i7 is 2 better than i5. No. Actually, the difference is i7 uses "Hyper-Threading" which is basically simulating 8 cores on a 4-core processor. Not as good as 8 real cores, but it will give a speed boost in some types of calculations.

Wish they added eSATA. :(
Which is more powerful i5 or i7?
