Apple Refreshes iMac & Mac Pro Lines

iMac

Months ago, the Macbook Pro received an upgrade to Intel’s i3, i5, and i7 processors. Today, the iMac line was finally given an upgrade to the i3 and i5 processors as well as receiving improved graphics cards.

The new iMacs also support dual internal hard drives. Which means you can now have an SSD as your boot drive with a secondary drive of up to 2TB for storage.

27″ iMacs Arriving Broken from Apple

iMac

If you are in the market for a new computer and have been considering the new 27″ iMac I strongly recommend holding off on your purchase. For some reason these machines are being shipped from Apple with the following problems:

Yellow Tinted Screens
 Flickering Screens
 Cracked Screens
 Completely DOA

A large number of people are complaining about having one or more of these issues. To make matters worse, Apple is replacing the malfunctioning iMacs with machines that are having the same issues. And if you try to get the second iMac replaced Apple will just tell you that “It’s quite likely the issue will continue to happen…and that we’ll become stuck in an endless loop.”

Apple is clearly aware of the problem and even admits that 27″ iMacs shipped as of today will suffer these same problems. I’ve always been a fan of Apple, but if I paid $1,700+ for a computer and had these results I would be beyond furious.
