I can give you 1 good example why not to go for a 1 gen 5k iMac - they overheat... we have a few at work and while they are nice, in fact very nice to use, they overheat... had to set 1 back and it looks like the 2nd one is heading the same way. It could just be a bad batch though.

I have read of worries about the new Macbook that it might overheat with the faster processor due to the lack of fan and how thin it is...

Yeah I have heard about that issue. I hear it's linked to bad thermal paste application, not something you want on a 2k plus machine. I hear it's all down to the AMD gpu which runs at over 100 degrees.
Maybe all these 1st gen machines are worth avoiding, sigh, I really did want a new toy, my current rMBP and acd setup sometimes troubles me due to the amount of clutter.

Yeah hear what you are saying, funny you use so many ports and I use near none! Horses for courses and all that.
I did forget I swore I'd never by a 1st gen apple product too, for the exact reasons mentioned. 2nd revision will be 1.2ghz base and start at £999 or something.
Now, resisting a retina iMac is a much harder task, even at 1st gen.
