Got it yesterday, shipped on Wednesday arrived on Thursday from Apple in Cork.
Beautiful machine, really classy looking and the screen is huge.
Got the wireless mouse and keyboard so i can tell those who were asking that you do not need a USB mouse and keyboard. Turn on the devices and then turn on the Mac and hey presto it pairs them and you're in business! Brilliant.
I also got the Mighty mouse wireless. A great little device
I have been using MS Vista for a while and it was a dreadful power hog.
This iMac is so quick and slick and quiet!
Have WD Book external hard drive which I put everything onto my PC from.
Had to leave it in FAT32 while on my PC, Apple won't recognise NTFS from what I believe And i got a 250GB version so had to partition it as Macs can read 128GB and below.
But Windows will only partition in blocks of 32GB so that took a while but
it all worked perfectly and the transfer of Data was flawless.
Love the way it hooked up to my Wireless network immediately and started downloading all the necessary updates.
Have Mac for Office which looks great i have to say. Though I do like the iWork stuff from what I've seen. Great thing is everything is clutter free, hardly any cables just neat and tidy.
I downloaded Camino and Opera and both work brilliantly. I was able to import all my e-mail's, bookmarks and contacts from Opera that I had on my PC.
So it takes a while to transfer the data and download our programs etc but it's all so quick and painless.
Really impressed so far. A lot more to explore!
