Believe me i have seen this guy on youtube.......it is really weird that he has an i5 aalready but i suppose ( based on his videos ) that has a relative that works in apple........!
And in addition he seems very rich....so combine those 2 or something like that.....and u have your ecplanation
1. he modified the display of the CPU information etc.
2. he has connected up an i5 PC to the new C2D iMac!
nothing special

Since early last week, my order status online for Applecare is listed as "complete." A few days ago, I phoned Apple to tell them I had not received Applecare. I was told that it didn't ship because it is paired to the computer when you order online or by phone. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure what that means. Does anyone have an answer?
once again, i dont think he would go through all that just to earn cool points. the guy has so much **** in his house that i doubt he would even bother with a C2D. Nonetheless, i hope u are right, i would be PISSED off to know that apple thought he was better than us or some other **** on the same premise.
Same thing happened to me a year ago when i bought my current iMac. It just means that your computer will be pre-enrolled with applecare. And that you don't need to receive it on the side and register it yourself. You should however, receive the apple care protection plan readings and agreements/info via email tho.
Since when does having $$ and a lot of other Apple computers= him having an i5? Those are not mutually inclusive. Would be real simple for him to add a short clip showing the box label and the specs. Ever wonder why he hasn't done that when many other unpackings do this?
I completely agree with you. I don't think its fake. I think he just payed the right amount of money or that he knows someone higher up.
oh come on - look at all the attention we are giving apple at the moment (be it good or bad). this guy just wants to sound heaps awsome and show off his i5, fake or not.
He doesn't do that with any of his other stuff that he unboxes, im not saying that having a ****load of apple stuff means u wont lie about the newest one. All i am saying is that the guy has so much stuff that it would be stupid to fake ONE of his many products. It's not like hes some guy trying to show off, he shows his stuff in his videos and its like breathing to him, not a big deal at all, down to the fact that he has like 9 iMacs and one of them is literally his ****ing alarm clock. I just dont think he would bother going through that **** just to make it look like he got it, when he clearly has the best of everything else. and as stated by robotkiller earlier, why not fake the i7 with 16GB of ram? if your gonna lie might as well right?
Actually u are right.......
U can also check the relationship between bilsta 77 and 57
They are a freaking apple commercial...
Anyways
Chickino,
Well, actually I replied to post #575
where you stated you thought the iMacs were
rushed out in an attempt to counteract Windows 7
and that Apple was not ready to handle the availability
of the i5 and i7 computers nor the problems
with their first wave of iMacs.
Brilliant analogy. Think you are right.

Yes i really think they rushed into this hopefully without the expense of disappointed customers....!
But when decision like these are taken....frustration is inevitable....
So i wouldn't be so keen in waiting cause problematic imacs is just around the corner....!
so, you think apple just went "oh, quad core CPUs are out now we better slap one into the iMac now!?". ??
of course they didnt do that, have you seen the ifixit disassembly of the new C2D imacs? the heatsyncs are now a lot bigger then before, there are extra fans, the speakers are bigger, the GPU & CPU heatsyncs are separated, and the airport has been moved to allot alot better signal.
this upgrade isnt some "slap" job, they have been planning it for a while.
they cannot help that there is a lack of CPUs, that isnt their fault - they have brought out the machines to shut people up because of the lack of quad core/upgrades. except everybody now goes the other way and says "hurry up we want it YOU SUCK".
be patient. as far as im concerned there are no issues with the quad core imac what-so-ever yet, because NOBODY has one!
Actually i agree with u at some point...... i think that they have given a lot of thought on the design and the parts that they are going to use..
But they rushed at the production part.....thus they took the decision to advertise them a little bit earlier. And they are not prepared for a production of that scale...! (that is just my opinion)
If they don't have enough cpus or graphics cards it is still their fault...!
Soooo WATCH THIS VIDEO:

While your watching, keep an eye out when he shows his iMac's specs near the end, he HAS the i5 QUAD CORE. What i want to know is, how the hell he got it so early? look at the date the video was posted! WTF?
Someone has to have an explanation?

Much more than likely that info is fake. Notice that he didn't show the details on the box, or anywhere else, just that one place, and it so happens to be the easiest place to change info about your computer. I'm not at expert, but it was explained earlier in this thread.
i agree with your point too - production was rushed. they have done it before though. personally i dont really see what all the fuss is about, companies do it all the time. e.g. win7! win8 is already starting to be talked about etc etc.
its just silly that everybody is getting so worked up. when it comes it will come.
as for that video: i have no clue if it is real or not, there is no way to tell with the little evidence we have.
Yes you are right but also they cannot say that are going to be shipped in November and receive them a month later and at the mean time reading and watching about problematic iMacs. It is a iMac not a car.

they said ships november, its not the end of november yet so there is nothing for us to be angry about.
care to explain? what problems? all i see is a flash issue which is easily fixed.
true, forgot about the displays, that is only under certain conditions (low screen brightness after woken from sleep). the hard disk noises are to be expected though because of head parking and whatnot.
