what can i say beside that its fantastic? no cheap china-smell when packing it out, everything feels very high quality, i was using pc's before for many many years, in every price range but even with a 200 euro worth logitech keyboard/mouse combo it didn't feel as gr8 as the apple magic mouse and keyboard.

the screen itself is big obviously haha. and bright and makes the mac-feeling even better.

after maybe 3 hours of usage (yesterday and today combined) i never wanna go back to something else :)

(okay, i will still run my old pc with ubuntu just for fun) but all the serious work will be done on my iMac from now on.

what i need now are some good apps and maybe some good tips in general - so please, share.

will continue now to enjoy the mac experience. again: its just awesome! :woot:

Your images are not loading bud. May I suggest you upload them here: http://imgbox.com/ - It's free and super fast.

As for your Mac, I know the feeling. I have had one for 3 years now. Not a single issue with it. it simply works. Windows Fanboys will disagree and burn you to the ground, but its ok. Most of them have never used a Mac before so they have no idea what they are talking about.

Enjoy your new iMac!

Trust you to take the conversation in that direction...

On topic: Jealous. I'd murder for a nice big iMac. Soon...

LOL...It's true. Take it from a former Windows-Only user. I used to swear that Windows was it, until I tried a Mac. I have never looked back.

wohooo! thanks a LOT! insanelymac looks like exactly the thing i was looking for :)

I got the exact same iMac you got 2 days ago. It feels amazing to use it and the possibilities are nearly endless with it so far it seems :) I definitely know how you feel! Now the only thing I am trying to figure out is how to get ASP.Net web application development to be possible on the new iMac and then I'll be good to go!

Uhm, congrats, sure sure... but... You know why you got the discount right?

The next updates are LITERALLY right around the corner.

I'd wait... return and wait...

But that's just me...

If your config is good for you for many more years, which it probably is and the rebate you got is about what you'd get after the update, then stick to it.

Kinda makes me want to post my desktop quite soon, too haha

And deffo get the memory upgrade.

16GB make lots of sense and make the machine fly, I've been on 16GB for months, now on 32GB (yes, I can USE that much... people always wonder :p).

thats not the reason i got the discount :)

and waiting was no option. i look at my mobile phone. htc desire. planned to get the htc sensation, decided to wait for the galaxy nexus. seen it, decided to wait for the htc one x. seen it, decided to wait for the samsung galaxy s3. and now im shocked by that design, and wont wait forever in the future.

i dont think the new ones will be THAT much better, especially the design looks so completed already, dunno what they could improve on this really...

power?

Well, your pick.

And this is annual refreshes, not Android-style. (no offense, incremental can be cool and it makes sense with Android phones, so no haterade here, ok?)

I'd have waited, at least you would have gotten it cheaper still.
