> Err, have you ever bought a first-gen Apple product?

I have 1st gen iMac retina, I have had zero issues and have been using it daily since I bought it new in 2014. I did get SSD and upgraded cpu and graphics card; I believe the base models under performed so I can imagine people were not so happy with those models?

Only regret, it cannot be used as an external monitor.

yeah, I would probably wait as well; unless work was paying for it
