So I was wondering if anyone could describe the first time getting an iMac? Because I want a iMac because it looks beautiful! I have a computer running Linux. I'm happy with it, just not that happy.

Thanks.

Also, any tips would be helpful.

I could not stop smiling after i got my 27" iMac...
I still get excited about using it LOL

It's a great computer and I'm glad I got it. No regrets.

I got the 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo version, because the i5/i7 ones were not available at that time.
It was $1699.00 = $170.00 for apple care.

When I unboxed my iMac and turned it on for the first time, I was grinning like a weasel eating a chicken. I still get a big smile when I sit down to do something on it. It was without a doubt the best computer purchase I have ever made.

Awesome! I only have one Apple product, the Ipod Shuffle. <.< But I want to get more products from Apple. I have a sticker on my binder of Apple, lol. I want to get the Macbook Pro after I get the iMac, then the Ipad and the iPod Touch. I want the iPhone when I move out of the house.

love my 27". i didn't have the extra cash to step up to the i5 like i would have liked to do, but my core 2 duo has been more than enough for what i do.

when i got it though, it took about 2 weeks before i stopped going, "holy crap this thing is enormous." lol. i had been using a 22" LG monitor for the 2-3 years prior, and it was still a significant size jump. MBP is next on the list as i am clearly an addict now..

EDIT. i actually had to find a bigger desk to accommodate the additional weight and size of the thing.




i am now almost wireless thanks to my airport extreme.

I wish I had the money for a 27". Fantastic!

But, I settled for a Mac mini- it's more than capable with 2GHz C2D and 8 GB RAM.

And for portability (well okay mobility- the Mac mini is portable!), I have a MacBook. More than capable (and portable) with 4 GB RAM. Plus I have a Power Mac G4 (Sawtooth) with 1GB RAM (it can go up to 2GB I think), but I don't use it often anymore LOL.

I am a noob around these forums and I have a feeling I will be visiting and posting quite often. I have an iPhone and a macbook pro. I really want to get one of the new iMac's. After reading everyones posts and one of my really good friends buying one I WANT ONE! Its nice to share mac stories with other mac lovers : )

I really want one too but I can't as I move about too much and I am planning to move back to the EU soon. I am going to have to settle with an i7 MBP soon to help me with my addiction. It is a shame as there is nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro now but the screen is just too small. 27" won't fit in my backpack!
