Yeah maybe we should start a thread with who has luck with their i7s? One thing holding me off from buying a new 27 inch iMac are these posts here.
There are several already, but there is no organized effort to keep people seeing those. I received my i7 on December 1st and have not had a single problem.
It would be a real shame is anyone passed on an iMac because they read blatantly false information from a competitor who couldn't compete on the merits of the product, and instead resorted to creating issues out of nothing.
