Obviously.
I would also lose the hard drive capacity, the RAM capacity, the processor speed, and the video card.
Oh, and the top of the line MacBook Pro costs more than the iMac, too.
As I said -- I would REALLY like to get a good quality iMac!
Got a tip for us?

is it possible most of us think there is a slight yellow tint where there isnt any ?
just cause we read so much about it ... we might just have it in our mind some times ..cant that be the case?

when i first got mine i was afraid it had the tinge, but then i realized it was just the reflection of the oak surface from my desk.
Thats very funny ! i wonder how many of us actually are returning perfect imacs after seeing oak surface reflections !
Honestly I think there might be something to the thought that some of this is in our heads. Obviously the issue exists (and quite badly for some people apparently), but in my case I highly doubt I would ever have noticed the tint if I hadn't been looking for it. When asking other people to inspect the screen (with a gray or white background) and not telling them about the yellow, none of them were able to identify a flaw. It's still there, but it takes searching for. I decided not to exchange after; I'm going to wait at least until they've solved the problem, rather than gamble on a new screen.
i kind of agree, intially i was going to return mine but i didn't, because the screen is so large and you see it so close up depending on the angle it will invariably show up, but if you look at ti from the right angle it won't
iMac 27" i7 (#2) is waiting for me at home. This is to replace my first refurb imac which was missing an airport card.
UPDATE: iMac#2 looks good. Airport is working on this one. Screen looks good too. Another 2 TB drive in this refurb unit. Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong and this one is a keeper.

I just got my screen replaced on my 27inch i7 (week 9) at the apple store and it's much better. Happy to report that I got my keeper. It's sharp and crisp and no gray bar or yellowing. I took my imac to the apple store on Upper West side of manhattan for all the fellow Manhattanites.
After 3 different iMac 27" i7's (all refurb) were sent my way, all 3 were sent back. The most recent (delivered on wednesday), was the worst of them all - with yellow splotches visible on any background color. Opted for a refund - and was offered a $250 credit towards teh purchase of a computer with no time-limit.
