High mortality of iMac Core i7
November 24th, 2009 | Posted in Apple, Desktops | No Comments »
The subject moves in the forums and blogs: iMac Core i7 dead on arrival are particularly numerous, much more than what we might expect from a new computer.
We’re not sure of what happens, but there is clearly a problem:
The two problems most frequently encountered are cracks on the screen and a computer completely dead on delivery. The most probable is that the packaging is not able to properly protect the giant iMac 27-inch when it is balanced in all directions at the edge of a delivery van.
So far, Apple has been extremely responsive and effective to repair or exchange equipment, but it remains a warning signal on a form of fragility: if you’re going to buy that iMac, we advise you to wait a bit to see if Apple announces corrective measures on the equipment and/or packaging for transport.

First performance issues for the 27-inch iMac
November 2nd, 2009 | Posted in Apple, Desktops | No Comments »On the support forums for Apple are beginning to reveive the first posts related to issues with the latest 27-inch iMac released last week. It would appear that some users report problems with slow hard drives, installation of Snow Leopard corrupted and above all, performance issues when playing videos in Flash (YouTube). Apple has not yet acknowledged these issues but we bet it would rule from next week.
We do not have these issues because since a long time we enforce the safety rule #1 only by sheer goodness of heart:avid readers of knowledge:
NEVER TAKE AN APPLE PRODUCT AT ITS RELEASE!
Prudence (which is the mother of Safety) because advised to wait the first review of products before buying, if you do not wish to meet customer service from Apple, yet very lovable.
