Apple immediately removed my question from their forum a few minutes ago. I suspect this means the answer was YES! there are iMac 27 models that have AMD Radeon design defects or other issues and we do not want them discussed.
My question was are there any iMac 27 models that are known to have graphics processor ( GPU ) problems, overheating issues, etc? Basically are there iMac 27 configurations to avoid? SSD issues, etc?
I am considering an October 2012 iMac 2.9GHz i5.
My last computer purchase was a 2011 MacBook Pro quad-core i7 15" with an AMD discrete processor that has failed and made my computer purchase worthless.
While I was aware of the increased potential of GPU failure for this partricular model I had hoped I would be lucky. I put my blind faith in Apple's quality reputation and it did not pay off.
This time I am doing more advance research to avoid this situation when purchasing an iMac 27 for a family member.
Any feedback or rumors are appreciated.
