Yogamonkey mentioned earlier in the thread that he'd got £150 off the total price by going through NHSdiscounts. Not sure if that's what everyone working for the NHS gets (or with relatives wot do) or whether Yogamonkey is a bit special
On display at Regent Street
They have about 25 on display at Regent St, I was just there this morning. Clearly they are a lot better value but the styling hasn't grabbed me yet, think I prefer the old one at the moment. The display is REALLY glossy. Given that I suspect a lot of people will use the 24" as their TV and DVD player and computer, it could be a pain. I also wish you could use it as a monitor, as I mentioned earlier.
Both Manchester stores have all the new ones on display, although no 2.8 Extremes as they're web-only CTOs.
I'll be sure to post from the Arndale store soonish.

Firstly linking to the digg article is kind of cheeky. Secondly your quicktime video doesn't work, see screenshot. Check out my post about 3 or so above.

Got my new iMac yesterday from the birmingham store. base model.
I am loving it, its loads better than the core duo 1.83 imac i had, and they look so good in real life. the pictures on the internet let them down!
the keyboard is so easy to use, and again they look so much better in real life.
so, i give the new imac 10/10!

Video encoding problems
@xUKHCx
Yes, the video is a problem. I have to try it differently tonight. If I figure out what the problem is (never had a problem before), I'll start a forum for it because it may be an iPhoto issue. Will see.

Be careful with the RAM cover!
I picked up a 24" 2.4Ghz model from the Trafford Centre around 2.30pm yesterday - they were selling fast.
A word of warning - be really, really careful with the RAM slots cover - I managed to cross the threads and damage the screw - ended up drilling it out - was gutted, but thankfully very little damage and it's hidden on the bottom of the machine!
Very impressed with the looks and speed, and the new keyboard design is good.

Tom did you read the early part of this thread about RAM?? You can buy 4gb online for just a little more than the cost of 2GB from Apple. You will also have the 1gb chip that comes installed to sell on...
As this is about imac UK can anyone tell me if the UK imac ships with a UK keyboard. Ive cheked the UK apple website and all the pictures show a US kayboard. Could anyone check their keyboard?
i.e. the @ sign should be on the ' key and the " sign should be on the 2 key.
As well as a £ sign should be on the 3 key.
I was in the london store a few hours ago and they had the US keyboard, i dident manage to catch a sales rep as it was pretty busy.

On an extremely glossy 20" at the Arndale and loving it. These things are so stupidly thin and the keyboard is just a dream to type on. If anyone's in Manchester at the moment, I'd suggest you get down here; there's four 20 inchers and four 24 inchers.
Aluminium iMacs ftw!

Yup, it's always been that way. The missing symbol is #, which you have to get by pressing alt-3.
yup that's what i've always done. I see what's being said though.. on the apple store it displays a US keyboard with no £ symbol. I'm pretty sure we'll get a UK one with the previous layout though... we'll see (soon sooner than others

lucky devil... which one did you get?
The NHS Discount is 8%, you need to click on the link in the nhsdiscounts website which takes you ton the apple store and takes the 8% off automatically

Well, I ordered the 20" 2.4Ghz, 1GB Ram, 320GB HD, 256MB Graphics...
Hopefully that's what I've received too - not sure till I get home!
