hey guys i just sold my iMac G5 rev A.I was planning to buy a rev B,but i really dont know what to do,my father says that i should wait because maybe apple will introduce new ones in september,what do you guys think i need the computer and i am exited to get one right know but i dont know what to do,also has anyone with a rev B of 20 " had problems with it?

thanks a lot

According to the buyer's guide, it's still going through it's neutral stage.

the iMac G5 20" is the best bang for your buck, litterally, don't wait!! get it!

There isn't much they can update the proccesors to w/o completly interfering with the PowerMac line.

I say get it NOW! ORDER NOW! why wait?!

Just my 2 cents 🙂
 
If you keep waiting for revisions then you'll never get one. The new 20 inch Ultimate iMacs are pretty awesome. Hell, for the money get a loaded mini and a cinema display or another large flat screen and a couple external HD's and hubs for it.
 
The Rev A's had lots of problems but now the Rev B's pretty much ironed out those problems, I haven't heard really any complaints about the Rev B's...Rev A's is a different story 😉

Another 2 cents! 😛
 
I would recommend purchasing now. No reason to wait. Don't expect an update for a while. You might as well enjoy the Rev. B. 😉
 
hey guys thanks for the replies,i d it to get the rev B ,more power.(hehe)but after reading some rumors i really dont know whether to wait or not,but apparently now new iMacs for a while ,right?how long do you calculate till and update?7 months?

thanks
daniel
 
Were the RevA problems on the 20" ironed out in mid-cycle? I have a change to get a great deal on a 20" Rev A iMac (brand new for $1200), but I'm concerned that it'll have those power supply, capacitors melting, overheating logic board issues, etc.

But for $1200, would you take the risk? I presume these closeouts weren't holdovers from last Sept, but hopefully "fixed" ones from Jan-March.
 
thanks for the replies guys, For your knowledge with apple ,do you think an iMac update could take place in the Paris expo,just 5 months after the update of rev A?i think im gonna get the iMAC once a get back from a trip ,but you know just to take into consideration ,your expertise in the apple highly rumored season(the conferences hehe,Paris and SF specially) 😛
 
Hey guys im in NEW YORK for vacations now(this is sooo coolll), im here getting ready to purchase the iMAc 😱.For the last time ,do you expect any update in the next to months ,please answer as accurate as possible ,because i really dont want to buy it and have them updated by the end of september.By the way the empire state is AMAZING

thanks 🙂 😱
