Un boxing Heaven for those 27" iMacs..Thanks 

[dashriprock17]

As many people are on their 3rd and 4th 27" iMac, they should be happy Apple has given them the gracious opportunity of the phenomenal un-boxing experience mac has to offer. Imagine the several hundred extra video's we will see on you tube of the same magical event?
Thanks Apple!!!!
But seriously, I my self have the base model 27" with upgraded graphics card ordered. Hope to get it in 2 weeks. Hopefully I will not be another  un-boxing professional. I just want a computer that works!!!

Good luck!

my 2 cents:cool:

Cheers!!!

i guess he just got addicted to the machine :D

[Cerender]

LOL true I guess it's a good sign he's not back complaining.. Unless he is stuck in support queues...

[Yakuza]

hummm..he would also be here complaining.

well we can see this way, if he isn't here it most be happy with the machine otherwise there would be another topic with a faulty iMac.

Let's just think it's a 100% iMac :D

Hello,
Sorry I did not have a chance to post my review so here goes.....
I got the base 27"imac with the upgraded 512mb graphics card. The imac came perfect in the box..no damaged screen. I set up and started the imac and WOW what a bright screen, this thing is a behemoth. Everything about this thing is perfect. I checked for the yellow tinge test and it passed with flying colours. So far no flicker however the hard drive makes a slight ticking noise periodically but I believe this is normal so it really doesnt bother me too much. I will continue to monitor and keep you guys posted if there is any change. I will post some photos for those that want to see it later today.
I will also add that my iMac is week 51/2009 so it seems to be a winner so far!!
Cheers!!!

That is one thing I like about Apple. They package things very sensibly, not over packaged, and easy to unpack. No tools needed to free the product.

Yes Sparkie, I agree with you. It's always exciting to get a new apple product.
Btw, how is your imac? Do you have a horror story to tell us?

Cheers!

Sorry to hear about your grief. I hope they give you a full refund and a bit of a break on your new macPro. Just curious if they were replacing your iMac with existing stock or was it specifically ordered for you? A friend of mine who is an Apple tech informs me that they resolved the screen issues with the latest product line. Perhaps you were getting older stock models....
I am confident that mine is without any issues so far....but one never knows:rolleyes:

[sparkie1984]

To be honest I don't think they'll help me out at all really!!

I think I'll get my money back and be sent on my way....

I'm unsure about the stock as it was from an apple store.

But hey Ho!
