New iMac

OllyM · 17 Jan 2007 at 12:04

After lots of thinking, I finally bought a 24" iMac to replace my Powermac G5

So far, I'm extremely impressed - it's amazingly quick (it's the 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM), and the screen is absolutely fantastic.

So yes, if you're thinking about buying an iMac, do it!

Already have, I also have a 2 footer!

Nice, but it seems to be on a bit of a tilt

I'm not jealous at all.. honest

I also have one along with the same WD MyBook as you

I got rid of the MightyMouse though as I didn't like it much.

That'll be my awful photography

I really like the bluetooth mighty mouse, it feels great, and the scroll ball is lovely

Yeah, the mighty mouse is ok for short periods of time / while traveling, but if I'm at home I use my mx510!

EDIT: As above, Scroll Wheel < Mouse Ball !!

I had a mighty mouse for about 8 months but the scroll ball got dirty and became useless, I tried to clean it but broke the mouse in the end.

So I went back to Logitech in the end borrowed my PCs old wireless mouse a MX610, which works very well.

Very nice iMac btw

My brother just got one. It came in less than 24 hours too which was pretty incredible. I quite liked it but wasn't blown away.

Yeah nice little guide, shame mine doesn't work anymore, ah well I will bookmark it for future reference.

I couldn't resist buying the iMac a little brother to replace my Powerbook, too, so I came home with this today

Wish i had the money to make purchases like that!

Nice! I'm counting about 4 phones in those pictures - do you work for a sex line

No I don't!

Two mobiles (one work and one personal), VoIP phone and DECT landline phone. Simple really

I hate you Olly

I went to the local Apple shop yesterday to pick one of these up but they didn't have the spec I wanted so now I have to wait

Spyhop · 20 Jan 2007 at 10:18

That MacBook needs a decent colour profile! The one it ships with is really dire - washed out and brown.
