Cool new iMac, I have a 1Ghz 17" imac for just over a year now, and i love it

Best thing - Screen ,DVD burner and the whole damn design.
Bad thing - probably upgrades, but meh!

Yeah it's a great machine, stable, fast, great screen and very quiet. You are going to love the 17 inch screen...

I only hope Apple isn't going to release a G5 iMac in a couple of weeks...

What do I like about my iMac that is like yours?

EVERYthing!!!

You won't get any sleep once it arrives as you'll just keep discovering great things about it!

The only slightly negative thing is Apple support(at least here in the UK). It is soooooo sooooo slow and takes ages to get through to a human, more that 40 mins on most occasions.

However, I would thoroughly recommend the MacNN forum and Apple knowledge base (AKB) as highly effective problem solvers. Remember that if a problem crops up , stay calm and use the forum and AKB.

What is there to love? EVERYTHING!

I'm using a 17" iMac (800) and it's been a joy to use. The screen is just awesome and the more you use OSX the more you love it.

/pats iMac gently on the case.

Bless the little fella.

Don't forget to update us when you get yours and post any questions you have.
