Average iMac manufacturing quality

[ChromeCloud]

Hello guys,

I just got a brand new 27" iMac and upon first inspection I was horrified when I saw that the front glass panel is cut about 1 mm too short on the top-right corner.

At the right angle you can see part of the aluminum finish that's supposed to be covered by the glass (see picture).

Although I am not going to notice it a lot during normal use, I can't help but thinking that the main design feature of this machine - the beautiful sharp edges - is compromised, so I am planning to return the iMac and ask for a replacement.

I am worried, though, that the average manufacturing quality of the new iMac isn't that great and I might get a replacement that has the same issue... does your 27" iMac look anything like mine?

Get a replacement - quality is amazing - there is a reason Apple sell millions of products. If replacement has problem - get it replaced. THANKS

As the guy said above if its faulty get it replaced. Mine is perfect, and yours should be to.

I have had 5 iMacs going back to the days of PowerPC.

My last one is a 2011 - 27".

I have had nothing but great things to say about them.

That being said, I am hearing a lot of disturbing things about Apple build quality lately across several different products.

I think that Apple needs to see to it that the plant in China does something fast before this becomes worse.

That plant must be a dirty and dusty place.

I've been in electronics plants in Mexico that were SPOTLESS 30 years ago, you'd think the Chinese could do better.

I'll also add that I have never ordered anything from Apple, always in IN-STORE pick up and always opened items before taking them home.
