PROs Bought to replace an iMac Intel Duo 2 21.5", mainly for the Quad i7 processor. Although 2.8 ghz as against 3.06 of the 21.5 this iMac is noticeably faster with the quad processor. The screen size gives a lot more room for multiple application windows and is very clear. Runs well under Lion and all its' facilities. There are adequate connection ports. 1TB hard drive good as a minimum if doing a lot of photo / video work. At present I cannot imagine ever wanting to change it. Connect an Elgato USB TV adaptor to turn the iMac into an excellent alternative TV, with superb sound and associated recording facilities, better sound than my SONY TV. Excellent for Video production due to the large real estate and the ability to have many things in view. CONs A minor point, "Weight" set it up where you intend to keep it. If using inside a cupboard, ensure there is enough room at the right hand side for DVDs etc to eject. Space around the iMac should be well ventilated as the iMac gets quite hot under intense processing activities.Read full review
I bought this as we wanted to do a large video production (for some Christmas fun) and the large screen would make it easier to produce than our current MacBook Pro's. Lovely computer and gorgeous screen but sadly the latter was marred by a known Apple fault. Across the upper third the screen was blotted with what looked like grey clouds, smudges of light grey hanging in folds across the screen like dainty curtains. It is only noticeable on a light background and after a while becomes a bit irritating as I wanted to wipe the screen clean. Luckily the seller agreed to take it back and gave me a full refund as he said he hadn't noticed it (?). So, I bought another. Even asked the seller if it had the screen problem, to which he replied NO. When it arrived the iMac showed signs of the problem, nowhere near as bad as the first, but this time it has some warranty so I have arranged with Apple to have it repaired. Apparently Apple are being a bit coy about this but it is a well documented problem, lots of info about it on the internet. Overall the computer is a dream to use, but then aren't all Macs? The large screen is perfect for our movie making and with a 1Tb HDD and 12Gb Ram the iMac will be in use for many years to come. If you want to know more about the screen problem have a look at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1056817 and make sure you have warranty to cover replacement/repair.Read full review
