Configure iMac

Sadly though, you'd have to say that the quality of those old bubble-era machines was superior to what Apple is pushing out now. I only half hold it against them, because they must be shipping in much much larger volumes now - but those old iMacs were built to last and last they did. I had a graphite iMac which was a trooper, I wish I still had it. Current iMacs just don't last into the 5 to 7 year range without special maintanence. Sad but true.

Not to say they aren't great machines, love mine. Just saying, the Apple of a decade ago and now, not the same fruit.

Your probably right, before 2005 never had to send any machine in for repair, after that I've had to send 2 machines back, one of them I sent in for repair 3 times. However, the one I sent in once cost me nothing and it's almost 4 years old now. The one I sent in 3 times is now going on 5 years now.

Thank you all for your comments & info.

I'm going to wait not for the update , but I'm going to travel and all so I don't want to get it now.

I really hope if I get it wouldn't have much hardware problems.

Maybe if I buy after the update , even the hardware would be fixed ?

Thanks again.
