27 inch iMac – One Week Review

November 7th, 2009 0 Comments 27 inch iMac – One Week Review

The first thing that you are going to notice about the new iMac is the screen, and it is a beauty.  I cannot compare it to the previous generation iMac’s screen, but from what I have read, the new iMac’s screen is similar to the Apple Cinema Display.  So far the computer has been performing great.  The 3.06 GHz processer is a welcomed improvement over my 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro.  I did not order the Quad Core version because I was planning on getting the 2.8 GHz iMac before Apple announced their new product line, so this was a nice upgrade to my original choice.  I just do not need the power that the Quad Core iMac provides, so after talking with an Apple associate, I decided the 3.06 GHz was just fine for my youtube editing needs.

Well, don’t fear loyal MacintoshTipz readers, a developer’s download is available as you read this.
