the iMac is usually quite, but there are times (and it happens alot depending on what you do), where it can get loud, I mean LOUD, the fans in this thing, when they rev up all the way, sound like a JET, but that rarely happens, but it usually gets loud enough for you to notice it, but nothing to fuss about.

It's a great mac. In my experience it's very quiet, unless it's been on standby for a while, then it usually is a bit louder than normal for a short period of time while the fan kicks back in :happy:

Bawx I think they made the area so large to lift the screen up off the desk and into a better position for eye level. Some LCD's can be quite uncomfortable to use.

Now that you mention it, my LCD seems really low to the desk. Almost uncomfortable to the eye, compared to the iMac, seems like it's eye level. Holy crap, I kind of have to look down on my screen.

DAMN YOU APPLE! :angry:

I just put a thick ass notebook under my LCD to raise it up, I'm boycotting low screens.

Reading has never been the strong point of the typical neowin visitor.

http://www.apple.com/ca/imac/specs.html

Display 20-inch (viewable) widescreen TFT active-matrix LCD, 1680 x 1050 pixels, millions of colours

http://www.apple.com/ca/displays/specs.html

Screen size (diagonal viewable image size) 20 inches (viewable)

Resolutions 1680 x 1050 pixels (optimum resolution)

20" diagonal visible area == 20" diagonal visible area the last time I checked.

Why read when people like you can research. Seriously, no one asked you directly to look it up, don't get attitude about it.

Before turning this into a flaming thread, it would have been better if you simply didn't react to the comment. That way it just made him look like an ass.

In anycase.... anandtech did an excellent review between the Apple 20" Cinema display & the Dell 20" LCD (I'm too lazy to get the model number, something like 2005 heh). Anywho... the reviewer mentioned that currently only produces a 20" LCD capable of 1680x1050. So the screen in the imac, 20" ACD and Dell are all the same. The flourescent light in the back might be different (as is the case with the ACD & Dell) but it wont make a huge difference.

In summary... don't reply to those that are trolling & the imac contains a (now) $799 ACD... pretty nice because for $500 more ($1299) you have a computer that is faster and has more memory then the mini hooked up to a 20" ACD but that is whole nother story :yes:

Not quite accurate. The 17" iMac starts at $1299, the 20" starts at $1799, so the computer part of the 20" iMac works out to $1000, not $500.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
