I just got 27' inch imac and am noticing it makes a constant humming/growling sound. I'm thinking it's the hard drive. I don't think my former 24inch imac made that sound. Do you notice any difference in the background HDD sound? Or maybe there's something wrong with my 27'....my 24' was much quieter...

@cy012201 go to the system preferences, go to startup disc and select your main drive. it should solve the issue. rate up if it did. so others can see the soloution
Dude, I don't know what is wrong with the 27" in your video.. But I have the 27" i3 model, and it boots a hell of a lot quicker than both the 24" and the 27" iMac's in your video..
I'm getting an iMac for Christmas (yay), do you know how I can transfer my whole music library to the iMac's iTunes library? Do I have to do it manually like copy-paste?
@loghen01 i dont know of a way...but i just put all my music on a flash drive...then put it in my new imac (i got one for christmas too) and dragged it to my itunes...same with apps and vids and pics
The reason some higher end Macs take time to get past the gray screen is that they do hardware tests upon boot. So the more ram, more HDDS (Mac Pro) and more powerful processor, it is actually testing them for faults.
will new imacs come out b4 feburary 2011? or what is going to happen? cause. i am going to have money in feb 2011...and when do imacs come out...like the new 1's?
Nice review.. Say if I want the uhh.. iMac 27" i3.. can I buy it.. then later on get the i7 installed? or is that not possible..? Also my wall... its 47cm in height.. now if I remove the apple stand and all will it fit?
Much better imo because its more widescreen and they reduced the huge apple logo under the screen. Better processor, graphics, ram and hard drive options as well.
The 27" iMac doesn't find the startup disk until the 24" has finished booting. You should select what startup disk to use in system preferences on the 27". The iMac can't start booting the os until this logo has come up ad the logo shows that the computer has found thr startup disk. I think my 2007 mac mini is faster than the 27" because of that startup disk issue.
Hi, great video and thats awesome you have both of these computers. So being you have both which would you recommend based on info this info. My apple store near me is selling the imac 24" for 1,250 discount brand new. Are there any features on the new imac that would lead me to by the 21.5 or 27(1,699) I believe the 24" at 1,250 is a steal isn't it?
...hey men.. can you spare some time to check out the exact price of iMac there at the US . . because here in the philippines it's "PRICEY" damn~! ... Thanks Dude
@RenegadeMaster07 haha i agree with you im running 7 ultimate and it takes like 20 seconds to boot and im just running a pentium 4 with 2 gigs of ram. but i do say macs are way better built than pcs but really if you compare them on a hardware level there isnt much different.
@tmannelson94 Yeh, and i'm not trying to be a windows fan at all. I want a mac actually for video editing. But its getting one as fast as my PC thats the trouble, otherwise it's not much good. Because my other PC has a pretty fast Intel Chip, so i'd need money for something better before i would switch.
but either way, windows 7 or snow leopard, computers are great for everyone now.
@RenegadeMaster07 yeah ive owned a couple macs in the past and used quite a few i love them i just wish they wouldn't cost so much. Im actuially thinking about building a pc with the specs of some of the newer macs and installing a cracked verison of osx ive seen a few people that have done that and it seems to work pretty good
The 3.06 Core 2 Duo is old technology. It won't be much faster, if at all, then last years Imac. If you get one make sure you purchase the i5 or i7 or you may regret your purchase (preferably i7).
@tronplayer You're right. I think it really depends on what type of user you are. If you are a power user, a heavy multitasker, use VMs, or just want to be a little more future proof, go with the i5 or i7 model. When I started having graphics trouble with my 3.06 in the video, I exchanged for the i5 and am glad I did. However I do think that a lot of people would be completely satisfied with C2D processor.
thats so strange...i had the same setup but was having issues with my 24in, so apple replaced for a 27in at no charge. and my 27in booted up super quick....maybe after you run all updates it will be normal. its lovely tho! and the keyboard...i wish it had numeric keypad as well! one day
@nesh96 I don't recall with my 3.06. On my i5, I think there could be a slight yellow tinge. However, I didn't notice anything until other people started mentioning it. Could also have something to do with screen position relative to eye level. My eye level is at the top of the screen. If I back off and look straight on at the center, any yellow I think I see becomes even less evident. If I do have it it's not nearly as bad as my 2007 LED MBP, which I did notice the first day I got it.
@funsizedchoco first boots are susually slow but this one is unusally slow... maybe its just C2D'S... i hate them even though i hv a C2D early 09 imac
@funsizedchoco i agree...my imac boots in 20-25 sec (grant it, i have the newer i3 27 inch...) this is how long mine took in the beginning...but after about 5 boots it did it in 20-25...
hi what you can tell me about the graphics, i'm a photographer so i really need to use progs as Photoshop and so on and I'd like to know if this new imac can work good with all that stuff, i've heard it's too soon for quad core to be purchased, what can u tell me about this?
Thanks a lot!
(ps i have the 24" iMac with 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM - shall I wait or?)
@pupsikzipper Hi, where are you located? In the US, quad core models have been available since November I believe. If you are a photographer, the new iMacs will be great for Photoshop and for your needs. However you should make sure you are comfortable with the glossy display that some people view as a drawback. I would recommend trying to see one in person before purchase if you are at all unsure.
@pupsikzipper one tip evan thou the imac has an sd card reader get a card reader via firewire 800 and don't get the wireless key board get the wires one with the numeric pad and try to not ge† a apple mouse try to get a mouse from razor or logitech for photo editing
@bert91212 oh yeah and thoses idiots who edit the movies you watch and design the posters & websites you see & use. Ever used a mac as you main computer? dont lie.
@bert91212 do you own a mac? i find that most people who own pc's look at my mac and say...how do you do so and so...wheres the taskbar...this thing is confusing...oh yea...technologically illiterate people really use mac's...
@GlaciesTech yes i have owned a mac up untill a year ago. i sold my macbook when i finally had enough of it. its an OK system nothing more. not to mention the only thing i did on it was graphic design my pc did everything else i do alot faster and with ease. i also run linux witch is going to be replacing my windows 7 soon as my main OS the only thing holding me back is gaming
yea true iv got 3 hps 2 laptops(PARENTS) 1 desktop(MINE) next one in a year will be a alienware i mean the reason why i like umm iz there fast mostly what you want but there known for there cool leds in there towers but there laptops are way cooler let me know which one you think is the best out of laptops or desktops
As an ict guy i agree with you. But you can't get a good high end pc and a screen of the size like the iMac for that money, the only big selling point spec wise is the 27 inch led screen.
@skrbicdu lol useless.. yeah.. usless for a guy who doesn't know shit about pc's .. that flashy thing you call os is outsmarted by any Ubuntu edition .
By the way.... just so u know... Your 27inch iMac is slower then your 24inch, its only the 27inch i5's and i7's that beat the top spec 24inch. Hence its slower performance booting up
@OZ2YOU naa for the money i spend on an alienware computer i better get a mac pro with double quad core and install a windows partition on it and it will be just as good as an alienware and u will also have osx completaly legally
Like the imac, would use my own logitech mouse thow that feels much nicer in the hand, and the old mac keyboard you have their is nicer to type on then the new wireless one.
Touchscreen computers aren't that accurate... and the screen quality of the imac is WAYY superior. It all depends on what you wanna do what what specs do you want, and of course, if you want Windows 7 or Snow Leopard
I should've waited but I needed an iMac for college dorm back in August. I paid for the 24 inch model with 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, and so on (around $3,500 total price). Now this comes out... But that's ok. I can deal with my Mac, its still awesome. Its good they didnt completely change the design like they did when you compare a G5 iMac to an Aluminum. But yeah. Great video!
I ordered the 27" mac (but with the HD 4850 card) and I have to wait until the end of November. I feel sad, so I'm browsing all mac related stuff lawl :)
rustyspoon716, I can't compare side by side anymore because I sold the 24" but the iSight on the 27" definitely looks nice. Not worse than the 24" and perhaps better.
NorCalExplorer, I am not using WiFi right now because I am close to my router. DId you read somewhere that the wifi antenna is located behind the Apple logo in the back?
I think it was on ifixit that when they were doing a tear down of the 27" iMac they mentioned that the antenna wires were on the inside of the back Apple logo since wifi will not penetrate the aluminum case. When I was at best buy the 27" kept loosing the wifi signal at the store. The aluminum case looks good, but not good for wifi connections.
this guy doesn't have the i5 or i7. Vid was posted on 21Oct09 its either the 3.06 or 3.33. Are you experiencing the same start up times with the i5/i7 ?
Thanks for the review, I am also looking to upgrade from my 24 to the 27. Is the font size smaller on the 27? I like the idea of more screen real estate but I worry about a small font size on the 27.
i think i can still get a refund...the order ships tomorrow & i just won't open it....what do you mean 'it doesn't work as good as it looks'? have you tried it already? i was thinking of the switch b/c of the imac 27's incredible screen -- way nicer than the L...other than that, I'm not particularly biased one way or another...
I'll be purchasing a 27 inch iMac soon, would there be any way to dual boot or even run both Mac Snow Leopard & Windows 7 on the computer? Well so far things are looking to be awesome for Apple!
unless your bloody rich, why would you need two iMacs?

There's nothing under powered about this iMac and as far as price goes, you get what you pay for.
You have to look at total price of ownership. I have had little problems with the 6 Macs that I have owned since 1984.
Now if you turn on that 64 bit kernel it will boot a lot faster.
I'm going to get one of these i7 iMacs with 8GB of RAM in the next 2.
I have noticed that all these Mac haters never own a Mac.
I'd much rather have a computer I can use than tinker with as in a build.

By the way.... just so u know... Your 27inch iMac is slower then your 24inch, its only the 27inch i5's and i7's that beat the top spec 24inch. Hence its slower performance booting up
fxSplash 2 years ago
@fxSplash actually it booted slowly because he didnt set the startup disk...it had to look for the OS X files to boot

If you're going to buy a PC DO NOT BUY Alienware. They over charge. Build it yourself and you'll save a hell of a lot.

@KpWGteam alienware all the way ..you can put mac osx on it ..

@OZ2YOU naa for the money i spend on an alienware computer i better get a mac pro with double quad core and install a windows partition on it and it will be just as good as an alienware and u will also have osx completaly legally

Like the imac, would use my own logitech mouse thow that feels much nicer in the hand, and the old mac keyboard you have their is nicer to type on then the new wireless one.

whats better an hp touchsmart or imac. I like how the hp touchsmart is touchscreen similar to the iphone or ipod touch.
quest8899 2 years ago
Touchscreen computers aren't that accurate... and the screen quality of the imac is WAYY superior. It all depends on what you wanna do what what specs do you want, and of course, if you want Windows 7 or Snow Leopard

You need to reset the PRAM on the 27 inch, it should shave off some boot time.

I should've waited but I needed an iMac for college dorm back in August. I paid for the 24 inch model with 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, and so on (around $3,500 total price). Now this comes out... But that's ok. I can deal with my Mac, its still awesome. Its good they didnt completely change the design like they did when you compare a G5 iMac to an Aluminum. But yeah. Great video!

rustyspoon716 2 years ago
rustyspoon716, I can't compare side by side anymore because I sold the 24" but the iSight on the 27" definitely looks nice. Not worse than the 24" and perhaps better.

How is the wifi reception on the 27" since it only has the small plastic apple in the back to get a signal out or in?
NorCalExplorer 2 years ago
NorCalExplorer, I am not using WiFi right now because I am close to my router. DId you read somewhere that the wifi antenna is located behind the Apple logo in the back?
blakecottington 2 years ago
I think it was on ifixit that when they were doing a tear down of the 27" iMac they mentioned that the antenna wires were on the inside of the back Apple logo since wifi will not penetrate the aluminum case. When I was at best buy the 27" kept loosing the wifi signal at the store. The aluminum case looks good, but not good for wifi connections.
NorCalExplorer 2 years ago
Im wondering?
is that a 21.5" not a 27"
because i went to bestbuy and saw it, and it was much bigger then this,
and i was not as close to size as the other old imac?

senicesty, it is the 27" model.

i ordered one of these from the apple online store, still hasn't been shipped yet, wondering why..
rewindyourpants 2 years ago
its a slower boot up time because,one it takes a lot more power to turn it on.
Two it has a i5 or i7 so it takes more time to turn on.
Three bigger screen takes more power.
So I recommend that you just put it on standby mode.
but if you don't use it for a day or more shut it down.
TheDigitalMac 2 years ago
Get your facts straight. The i5 or i7 hasn't even shipped yet.

Thanks for the review, I am also looking to upgrade from my 24 to the 27. Is the font size smaller on the 27? I like the idea of more screen real estate but I worry about a small font size on the 27.
Would love to hear your opinion

Yes, the font is smaller on the 27" but you will quickly get used to it.
