Good day, everyone!Today I will be writing a repinion (review/opinion) about the Apple iMac. In this post I will give some details, as well as some recommendations to those of you who are planning on buying an iMac in the near future.

As some of you might already know from chatting with me on the live chat-room; I currently do not have an iMac yet, but I have gone through the process of customizing an iMac on the Apple Store so many times that I might as well already have it. So please read on. =] Well, I’m gonna start this out by just telling you about the spec’s of each of the iMac models.

BASIC: 20″ Glossy Screen, 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 250GB HD, 1GB RAM, 8x Superdrive, ATI 128MB Graphics=$1199.00

BASIC ADVANCED: 20″ Glossy Screen, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 320GB HD, 1GB RAM, 8x Superdrive, ATI 256MB Graphics=$1499.00 

BASIC HIGH-END: 24″ Glossy Screen, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 320GB HD, 1GB RAM, 8x Superdrive, ATI 256MB Graphics=$1799.00 

EXTREME HIGH-END: 24″ Glossy Screen, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor, 500GB HD, 2GB RAM, 8x Superdrive, ATI 256MB Graphics=$2299.00

 If your budget isn’t very big, but you’re really sure you want an iMac, the 2.0GHz Model for $1199.00 is probably your best choice. And if you need something individual that you need from another iMac model, you can probably customize it when buying it from the Apple Store.

If your budget is big enough to afford an more advanced model of the iMac the 2.4 GHz 20″ or 2.4GHz 24″ model would probably be your best choice; but the only difference between these two iMac models is the screen size (20 inch or 24 inch) everything else is the same. So if you need a lot of screen space, then pay the extra buck for the extra 4 inches and you won’t be disappointed.If the price isn’t a factor and you have a big budget then you should invest in the 2.8GHz 24″ Extreme iMac. Even if you don’t need some of the features that this iMac offers, you probably won’t need another computer for a very long time. This iMac model would be perfect for anyone whose budget is big enough to purchase it. (which mine IS NOT.)

So those are my recommendations on the new Apple iMac, but I would like to give you my opinion on the transformation from the previous generation of iMac to the current generation iMac.Overall, I think that the design is brilliant, although I have heard numerous complaints about how many people dislike the new Silver and Black design other than the old all White design.I think that with the Silver chassy and Black border around the screen really give the iMac a lot of “BOOM”! (yes, BOOM) And what I mean by BOOM is that when you look at the iMac it really pops out at you and yells BOOM. Haha?Well, that pretty much wraps up my ‘Repinion’ on the new Apple iMac.

So even if you aren’t planning on purchasing the new iMac, you try watching the video below and try to not say, “Wow, that does have BOOM.”

Good day everyone!!!And thank you!!!
