First Mac, and I am in LOVE!

May 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have been using Macs for about 5 years now between school and work. My primary machine has always been a PC. Being a graphic designer, Macs are pretty much the industry standard. That is one of many reasons I bought this iMac.

I must say, I love this computer. It took me less than 15 minutes from opening the box, unpacking the computer, plugging it in, starting it, and set up. And 10 minutes of that was taking it out of the box, taking the protective wraps off of things, etc.

The initial setup was a breeze. It automatically recognized the keyboard and mouse (both Bluetooth), easily connected to my network (after I typed in the password), and bam, we were up and running. Since I never had a Mac before, I didn't have a backup that would put all my files on the computer, but I keep all of my files on an external hard drive anyways.

There have been a few bumps in getting used to doing certain things on the Mac compared to the PC. However, Apple Care is very helpful and helped me through alot of issues. The main thing was getting Time Machine working like I want. Still don't have it backing up my external hard drive, but that is because it is a MS DOS format, which is a format it doesn't recognize. Other than that, Time Machine is doing backups on its own drive. Also, for PC users, Time Machine is NOT System Restore. It is a file recovery program only. So if you delete a file, you can open Time Machine, find the file, and restore it.

Once you take the time to learn how certain things work compared to PC's, you will figure out that there are alot of things that are just much easier on the Mac. Granted, I plan to use both Mac and PC for a while, but so far, I haven't had to turn on my PC in several days (and I have only had the iMac for about 10 days).

Overall, it is a great machine. Feels like it is built very solid, runs fast, starts up fast, looks great in my room, the keyboard and mouse (Bluetooth) never skips a beat, the Magic Mouse was not difficult at all to start using, and overall it is great. Probably will always stick to Mac now. :D

Great buy!

Purchased on Amazon from M.Elctronics. Order took about a week to arrive. Delivered on expected date. I paid $359 for this 2011, iMac, refurbished, which came as expected and was shipped in original box with an aftermarket keyboard, mouse and power cable. The computer booted up fine with no problems. I had an older 2010 iMac, with a i3 processor (originally paid $1,500 for) which was having a hardware problem. I swapped hard drives as my older one not only had all my files but was a 3T harddrive. Everything works fine and I have no complaints at this time.

Still a Great Machine

You can tell when a product is built to last! I love this computer even though it's an older version. It easily updates to the latest OS X software and performs like a new computer. The seller I purchased mine from did a great job of refurbishing it and there were no scratches, dents or dings. A really good computer, if you ask me. There really isn't that big of a difference between this version and the latest version, but if you're the kind of person who needs the latest and the greatest, just because, then go ahead.

The only desktop machine to consider and the only place to buy it from.

September 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

[Cause for a pause: "MacRumors," a Mac enthusiasts' site is recommending against purchase of this machine at this time because of its lateness in the cycle. Apparently, a new iMac will hit the market within several months. Also, some dealers must know as much, since I'm seeing prices on several sites that are fifty to seventy-five (incl. P&P) below Amazon's as of October 1. Before running off to another dealer, I'd recommend a call to Amazon.]

My Superdrive has failed yet again (the 4th one--not all in the same machine), and the stats suggest it's time to upgrade to another iMac (the only desktop computer I've used since 1990). My current iMac, a fall 2007 model is running faster than ever, though besides the Superdrive problem I'm aware of less power to peripherals, making me wonder if my powered hub has gone bad or the power from the iMac has somehow diminished. Since I've filled the 350 gigs of memory with over 5,000 tunes, perhaps memory overload is the source of problems like printers not working when plugged into a hub. Despite the prospect of a new iMac model in the near future, the presence of Thunderbolt technology on the present model would seem to offer a solution to the problem of insufficient USB ports and weak hubs.

Since the turn of the century, all of my Apple machines have been purchased through Amazon rather than Apple Store. Two major advantages:

1. Amazon's fast and efficient single-click shopping assures that you won't go through a list of 9-10 optional add-ons before purchase. Thus, the price you see is the price you get. At Apple Store, I went through the whole process, stopping just short of closing the deal: the cost of my "customized" machine was over $1800. In short, what you don't know won't hurt you; what you do know, will cost you.

2. Apple Store offers reduced rates for teachers and students, which my school always made a big deal of. But these rates for privileged pedagogs like me represent a 5% reduction at best, not even enough to cover the sales tax. When considering the identical model at both places, I've always come out ahead at Amazon, even without the V.I.P. price break Apple Store gives to educators. No guarantees this Amazon advantage will stay in place for long, since there's increasing agitation to tax out-of-state purchases, even from dealers that don't have a physical commercial presence in your state. But for now, it's really a significant bonus factor.)

Finally, I've never purchased a warranty extension for a desk-top machine, and I've never regretted it. The first thing to go in my last 2 machines was the Superdrive (2 Superdrives for my Mac Air have also wimped out on me), but each broke down shortly after the extended warranty coverage would have expired. So I save a couple hundred or more by NOT purchasing extended warranty coverage for a desktop machine.

[Important caveat: the extended warranty should be considered mandatory if you're purchasing a laptop, or even a Kindle. I don't mistreat my equipment, but it ends up taking a beating and showing the sores anyway. Even using a computer on your lap is deleterious to the machine's processor (not to mention the nerve center of the over-heated user. So if you switch to a Macbook, automatically add the extra 300 for the extended warranty. You should have a year before you're required to purchase it--if you plan to do so.)]
