New iMac 27" vs. iMac 24" rematch & questions answered

Another boot test between the 27" and 24" iMacs. Both are set to auto-login and auto-launch several popular programs for comparison. More thoughts on Magic Mouse. Tried hooking up Xbox 360 and PS3, no dice. Comments on screen size, glare. Side by side browsers.

[blakecottington]

@offroad259 Hi. No, it does not have that light.

[offroad259]

@blakecottington awsommee, i was acually looking at this one today and my dad thought i should get the macboook pro

what do you think imac or macbook pro

[blakecottington]

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

If you got enough money to buy a 24inch and a 27inch you should get a good camera at least with a stand even though the iPhones camera is amazing.

@iphonebeasty The 24 was sold to help pay for the 27. But I do agree I need a better camera.

Your voice is like afraid to say something! :(

dude, you sound like youre about to cry

[Calinmmmm]

I heard you like Apple so we put one pedal in your car.

please answer, is 27'' not to big for desktop usage?

[dinmamma333k]

It's noticeable that you're nervous, but you're doing a GREAT job man, a great job! Keep it up! You're awesome!

[snakedoc1306]

The 27" makes the 24" look tiny! Holy crap!

[Arielh100]

Dude are you nervous

[CassettePlaya1]

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.

[vannnefrost]

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

i see you...

@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.
