Is anyone absolutely HAPPY with their new imac?? (no pitching noise, yellow tint)

[GyroFX]

i'm looking forward to getting my iMac i5 27" this Sunday. I doubt even if I have "grumbling" noise, I'll even notice. This is only because I have endured years of my G5 Quad's fans going strong at 3000+ RPM even at idle. Only recently have I need to run the machine at reduced to not get into thermal runaway. I think the iMac will be like buttery whispers compared to my howling G5 Quad...

Almost perfect.

One stuck pixel near the very bottom, have to strain to find it.

The whites are white and no yellowing. No scratches. Almost perfect. Very happy.

Well after looking a little bit better. It's not a stuck pixel, but a speck of dust behind the LCD screen. WTH? No big deal, as you can hardly see it, but annoying when I know it's there.

I am still keeping it. The screen is perfect other than the speck of dust.

I guess I am on the bad luck side...

I got my i7 with 16 GB a month ago. It begun with somewhat weird behavior occasionally (it refused to wake up from sleep from time to time) but, as I was very pleased with the screen, I thought I could live with that minor issue.

Last week it decided not to turn on the screen.

Sent it back to replace logic board. As I did not buy it through the Apple Store, they will not replace it with a new iMac.

So... now waiting for a deep repair, while looking with envy to those new SSDs

Finally some positive talk here. makes me feel a bit batter abour dropping $2500 next week...

Same for me, i think i needed to see a thread like this. The only threads i have seen lately is yellow screen, dog whistling, heat etc.

Going by this forum you'd think no ones happy with their mac!

Going to order mine on Monday so we'll see if i am unlucky

Yeah I am getting one at my local apple store (luckily only 10 minutes away) next week once I get my new credit card. If I have any issues I am going right back to apple.

But now I am pretty positive about the situation, especially with these new HDMI adapters that scale to the 27" resolution

Got the new 27" yesterday and though I'm pleased with performance and screen. The hard drive noise is really annoying...

Open up iPhoto, it churns, iTunes, it churns, scroll through web pages and you get some hungry stomach noise.

I may even return it due to this but i have 14 days to decide. This is going from a 3 year old iMac that is silent so its quite a shock.

Remember. Most people who make topics here are having problems, there are plenty of people out there with perfect machines.

Right , like people you can find in a hospital, not the healthy ones... but this looks the most of the time like a hospital
