If only they had made a 24″ version of the newer version. 27″ is too large and 21.5″ is too small yet the 24″ is the last generation and not even sold from new anymore.

My advice is to disallow programs to start up while bootingup. It’s gonna slow down the boot up alot.

you should get synergyKM and use one keyboard and mouse between then

@muska4life123 look at macrumors website it is going to be updated sometime between august-october along with the ipod line. Plus they are upgrading the base model and video cards for all. so stay like me and just lie in wait no matter how hard it is.

boot testing is a pointless exercise.
why do a test where you can expect with 99% certainty that one will boot quicker than the other.
i mean, a NEW mac is much more likely to boot more quickly than an OLD mac, why are we testing this?????

I dislike the iMac 24″.. It just looks so small because the width is not even wide, but it’s huge in height.. I even reckon the 21.5Inch is way larger.

@YouHaveMetYourMaker I wouldn’t prefer it for gaming, but hey, you can play games, although there not very much games for Mac because of the In commission System.. But remember there is always bootcamp which allows you to use different in commission systems. I highly recommend the iMac 27″ CTO. You really should install Win7 since Windows is the best for gaming, and plus Windows runs better on a Mac.

How excellent is gaming on the 27″? I’m thinking of junking my PS3 and buying an iMac. Or should I get a MacBook Pro. If I did get the iMac, I could easily get a Lenovo Thinkpad for travel.

I am thinking in futurelly buying one of these, but, tell me, it’s a excellent pc for habitual home use, like reading emails, surveillance youtube…?

@blakecottington excellent call

Like the new 16:9 ratio on the new 27″ There are 3rd party programs like mouse wizard that will give you for flexibility. Splendid assess and comparison on the two macs.

i just saw one today an its AMAZING this notebook has so much presence is lake seeing a supermodel in real live WOW

An fascinating video. Been thinking of buying this myself, but as an occasional gamer, place of protection’t found very excellent info about the 3.06ghz’s performance? Any luck you would’ve tested your iMac on any new games?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:45 pm
why ? I’ve questioned many public and i have like 40% imac 27 and 60% macbook pro 17, if i could have both xD
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:49 pm
what about compatibility? i’m a pc user. i don’t know i like the style a lot and also it is silent. but as i use my notebook with thousands of different software i need to be sure i will not get cooked… because i reckon many software will not work. what about the games? i have 2 9800 gx2 ge forces. on sli. so i need to know what is capable to do this machine. i also built my pc by myself.

FYI!!! Take the magic mouse off of the slip mat. Its made to work on your desk not on a mat.. Just a tip. Then try it out.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:56 pm
yeah thats what i thought, apple brings a new version of every notebook like every 9 months or something lol, its a very hard choice for me.. i’ll probs get the imac and then start saving up till the next macbook pro comes out and buy that
thanks for the advice

@offroad259 As much as I like the iMac, if I could only have one notebook, it would be the MacBook Pro. I should warn you though that those will likely be refreshed sooner than the iMac. They are overdue.

@blakecottington awsommee, i was acually looking at this one today and my dad thought i should get the macboook pro
what do you reckon imac or macbook pro
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:37 pm
@iphonebeasty The 24 was sold to help pay for the 27. But I do choose I need a better camera.
