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.

    • LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • hahahahah wow hahahah you sure got me there hahahahahah, you know that bad performance is always due to poor optimization by the developers, right???
    • "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
    • I dont mind the AI stuff the time its released its going to be super mature. My hope is the AI can optimise or at least work out if things could be and the devs prompted. This would help offset sloppy copy/paste and asset flips resulting is rushed bloated games.
    • its an online game, the better part of it, piracy is not the problem. If that was so, it wouldnt release 1 year after for PCs, the piracy will be there Its probably some contract with the console brands
