Imac Discoloration

[wanderlust4ever]

Can anybody please tell me if the the Imac's start to go yellow and discolor over a few years, or do they keep there original whiteness.
Many Thanks.

It depends... I own a 24" iMac since October and I can't really say I notice anything different. The main question is: do you smoke? (if you do) do you do it in the same room where the computer is?

I smoke and do it in the room where the iMac is and so far I havent noticed anything, but still, I'm hoping that in a couple of years it will start to get that nice cigarrette yellow hue

Although, the iMac is encased in a plastic coat, which should at least slow the "aging" process down.

My 2 cents

I've had my iMac for almost two years, and it hasn't discoloured yet.

same here.....and I've never heard of anybody complaining about discoloration with imacs

Since the white of the iMac is under a transparent layer, I doubt it would ever discolour. If the clear plastic got dirty, just wipe clean.

I think that they would keep their color unless you smoke. The only reason why MacBooks/iBooks discolored is from oils in people's skin which would not be a problem with iMacs.
