Hi guys,

 

After the burglary last summer there where a lot of things stolen. One of those things was my Mac. Of course the insurance company gave me the money to buy a new one but I didn’t want that same model because it was out dated. So I’ve started waiting for the announcement of the new new iMac 27”. 

And wednesday the delivery man brought me a nice package.

Specs:

  •           27-inch
  •           3,4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost 3,9 GHz
  •           8 GB RAM
  •           Fusion drive 1TB
  •           NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1GB

I took some pictures with the Macbook Pro 15" and a Macbook Air 11" so you can see how BIG that iMac 27" is!

The new 27" with i7 core is not a bad unit to get. You can max out the ram yourself to 16gb for less than 150 dollars. The side profile of the ones is ridiculous.

I say do it! I have something very similar, but with the old case design.

I know about the RAM, I was between the 8GB or the 16GB when I bought this iMac. The 16GB was 200euro more expensive so I thought I will do this myself and save some money (....to buy a watch...) ;)

I was a bit dissaponted when I saw the new iMac in person, they had kept showing this super slim side profile and then when I saw the thing in person it's got a huge bulge in the middle on the back!

Apple seem to hide this well in their litrature as you have done Sir in your pictures ;)

Lovely machines though regardless of a belly bulge :)

I've had the same 19" iMac for the last 6.5 years. Other than installing 2gb of ram to max it out (to a whopping 3gb!), ut has never missed a beat. The hdd is filling up though, so an upgrade to the 27" one is in my near future. $150 to max out the ram to 16gb?? I'm there! :-)

That's a very nice set-up you've got there. I have a 2008 iMac model with 1GB of RAM, and 2.4ghz running Snow Leopard, which probably is something that I should not be running because it is so damn slow. On my other computer I am running Hackintosh Mavericks DP1 on my set-up because I love Apple's products.

Very Nice ... make sure you upgrade to 10.9, especially on those portables. The power saving features are great.
