Bought new 24" iMac yesterday and its going back today

[flopticalcube]

I've just recently started learning about macs and have seen the problems with the iMacs. Alot of these issues are becuase of the leopard OS correct? Wouldn't it better to not upgrade and keep Tiger instead of upgrading into macproblems, lol?

For example, i'm new to the system, so i really wouldn't notice any difference if i just stuck with tiger because obviously i'm not a heavy mac user. Does it make sense?

Does anyone agree with me?

thank you for the respectful feedback.

Leopard makes it WORSE than Tiger but if you have an iMac that behaves erratically, they are both bad.

Getting replacements is nothing. Try getting the cash back with out restocking fee.
They told me when I tried to return a MBP with bad pixels replacement or restocking fee.
Hell I returned a G5 with a bad logic board and they sent me a new mac pro for a replacement after they lost it somewhere.

That is because there is a acceptable tollerance for bad pixels for all manufacturers. In other words, a certain number of bad pixels is not considered a fault.

the iMac looks like crap compared to the Dell.

WOW! Now there's something I can safely say I have never heard before

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you though--Apple computers aren't for everyone...

do you ever read the entire thread or just the first post ??????

i have had Macs for over 10years, i have a Mac-Pro and a Macbook Pro right now.

i was comparing the iMac display to the Dell, not saying I don't like Macs. The iMac had a bad display and the Dells was much better. Apple has used
some of the same LCD panels as Dell for years.

its funny how you get a defective product (as I did twice and called it quits for a while) and people say "apple products aren't for everyone." I guess apple is infallible and all knowing and its my eyes that are poorly calibrated to the yellow tint that I too saw on 2 24" imacs. Sorry for your misfortune OP. maybe one day we will get used to subpar equipment and just go with the flow.

I bought my 24" 2.8GHz iMac to replace a 2.3GHz DP G5 - there is no comparison in speed. The iMac murders the G5 in everything. The iMac has 4GB RAM, the G5 had 3.5GB.

Something is very wrong if your Al iMac is slower than a G5

Usually not...Especially when it's not something I'm researching and the thread is several pages long ...
