August 8, 200718 yr Omg looks awesome :shock: Too bad I cant have one :( Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.
August 8, 200718 yr My sister got one this morning :P Apparently it was the first one the shop sold, hehe. I helped her set it up this morning, it's pretty cool. The screen looks more like our TV screen, rather than a computer screen :shock: - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
August 8, 200718 yr Just bought one :D. They are amazing. PS: If you want superb performance, I would strongly recommend upgrading the RAM. I upped mine a little bit from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM, and it flies through Final Cut Pro renders like it's nothing :shock: Good buy, good buy. 10/10. iLife '08 is AMAZING by the way :)

August 9, 200718 yr Well, they look great. I think I'll stick with what I know though. However, this picture is quite humorous: [hide=iMac vs. Dell XPS 410][/hide]

However, this picture is quite humorous: [hide=iMac vs. Dell XPS 410][/hide] Yeah I always have my PC's cords out in plain view too. :roll: Anyways, if I have this straight you can't upgrade the thing, at all? Like.. not even upgrade a monitor? Seems like a waste.
August 9, 200718 yr Is it really a new mac? It looks the exactly same as the older models to me, just more expensive because it's new. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
August 9, 200718 yr Is it really a new mac? It looks the exactly same as the older models to me, just more expensive because it's new. Well they have a bigger screen. The imacs now start with a 20" and not a 17" like before.
August 9, 200718 yr Is it really a new mac? It looks the exactly same as the older models to me, just more expensive because it's new. It's thinner, faster, $200-300 cheaper, and has that sweet new aluminium shell. \ 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009

August 10, 200718 yr How is the new keyboard? [hide] [/hide] New keyboard is okay. It doesn't type as much like a MacBook keyboard as it looks (which is weird, I can't explain it), and it takes some getting used to if you're coming over from using a PC keyboard a lot. But, if you're a proficient typer and you don't need much "feedback" on your keystrokes, this thing is golden (and blazing fast). However, for the standard typer, I would say there's a bit of a learning curve as well as some getting used to the "feel" of the keys. Overall I would say it's a positive upgrade - old iMac keyboard was a bit clunky in my opinion (and the keys would stick.. so I guess they went from one extreme to the other). I meant after you buy the thing.... Guess I'm the only person who doesn't care about cords either. My PC is to use, not to look at as a fashion statement. Two things: 1) You don't ACTUALLY believe that millions of people have purchased the iMac SOLELY for its form factor? Yes that's a perk but that's far from the main draw. The computer is simply a good value for Mac users and crossovers. 2) You can upgrade after you buy. For this model, they made the entire back plate removable by unscrewing one screw. Easy access to whatever you want to upgrade. The only valid contention against "upgradeability" is the cost - but Data Management Systems and Kingston sell considerably cheaper Mac-compatible hardware than Apple itself. As for the cords quip - forget the aesthetics; I assure you that installing new peripherals and changing wiring components is considerably more difficult on my desktop PC than the iMac because everything gets tangled. Perhaps my cord arrangements are not as skilfully orchestrated as yours, but I find this to be a matter of convenience.

I've read reviews on it, the only thing you can add is more ram -- nothing else. And I never said why people do and don't buy macs.
August 12, 200718 yr I love 'em. My boss ordered the 24" the other day. One thing I'd like to point out though. Prices on refurb models are dropping (about $200 down today from yesterday). The new macbooks should be released right before leopard which will make the refurb models even cheaper. If you're looking to buy a mac, and don't necessarily need the "newest and greatest", check out the refurb models (apple.com > store > bottom of page "special deals") and you could save a ton of money. php-based runescape parser
