My first 27 inch IMac had to be returned the wireless mouse and keyboard did not function. After about an hour with tech support I was told to return it to apple store. The second Imac is perfect in every way. It is by far the best computer I've owned.
Well, unfortunately, I must take back my post of having a "problem-free" imac. I developed a screen flicker the past couple of days and just this morning a crazy graphical error that showed the bottom of my screen in the middle. Recording the screen with Quicktime did not capture the problem when looking at the playback. I will be taking it back to the B&M store I bought it from tonight, since I'm still in my 14day return period. 🙁
Mine's great - had for two weeks now - hasn't been turned off yet. No issues - I'm so happy ordered another, except a Quad for my 2nd one 🙂

Mostly people do not post when things are ok. Forums like these get filled with problems 99% of the time.
Stock 27", no problems at all.
The display is absolutely amazing - far and away the best I've ever seen. Performance is great.
I do believe there are graphics card software issues. I have an application that stresses the graphics drivers, and it gives clear indications tbat the drivers are not optimized and are probably degrading real-time video performance.
For me, I don't care about the issue because I'm confident that upgraded drivers will fix the problem. And I don't fault Apple for this. Want to see some real graphic driver issues? Browse some forums for graphics cards in PCs.......
This is a tremendous machine, no way I give it up for some early software glitches,
Only problem I have is that now I'm thinking maybe I should return it and get the i5/i7 version.

Hello newbie here & first post,
Now had my first mac, a 27" iMac now for 10 days, so far no problems, (hope this doesn't tempt fate) loving it !!!😀.
Runs very fast & very quiet, love the screen, a bit unsure if it was going to be too big, but no - very glad we didn't get the 21".
Having fun learning a new os,short cuts etc & 12 year old daughter giving me
lessons. Even my 9 year old son has learnt how to use garage band with out a problem.
Forums like this are great for a newbie to the world of Mac, maybe one day I will be able to help/give some advice & give something back.
Thank you
Phil
