[TimR26]

Going to order my 27" i7 tonight

One question though....I have a multiple license PC version of Office 2010 so what software do I need to run it on an iMac?

[Ronnie R]

Well my iMac arrived today. One word. Awesome!

 

[Turkish]

p**n eh, I'll have to tidy this shithole of a desk and take a picture of mine.

 

[Ronnie R]

I've already told my girlfriend not to use my desk as a dumping ground! lol

 

[Turkish]

This is all my own doing but as nothing on here is likely to damage it like a woman would leave knocking about near electrical equipment it's all good.

 

[N0ddie]

This is ours though its just the iMac on the desk now with a trackpad as opposed to the magic mouse:

 

[Coby.]

I want to be you Noddie.... Very jealous.

 

[Revels]

I saw yours on MacRumors and first thing I noticed was the CS coaster

 

[N0ddie]

Lol. Keeps the rings off the desk lol.

 

[AK]

Jealous Noddie!

 

[N0ddie]

The MacBook Pro is gone now and the air is the wife's so its not all mine.

 

[LIL B]

Need to sell my 27" now as I have the new pro tower sitting here.

 

[Christopher]

I'm hoping the revised Airs are slightly beefier so I can sell my MBP for one... finally.

I'll get some new pictures of my setup soon, I'm buying a new desk and comfier chair soon. The one I have currently looks great but it's not the squishiest.

 

[N0ddie]

We bought a pretty cool chair (Quite cheap also) from Dwell (Same place we got our desk from):

Excuse the wee man lol!

 

[LIL B]

Not nice for all day use though!

 

[N0ddie]

Not nice for all day use though!

Dunno likes. Definately comfy. Not that I get to use it for long periods at a time.

Would you recommend buying an iMac now or waiting as according to the link below they say not to buy right now (assume this means a new version due to be released soon?)

[Revels]

If you want one, buy it.

It won't make your current one obsolete if they release a new one.

 

[Turkish]

Yeah but if he waits 4 months it'll be a whole 12 months before the next new one

There is definitely a new one coming this year, it's just a case of when. The problem at the moment is that intel have had yield issues with the new CPU as they are not a simple die shrink this time. AMD and Nvidia are also having some difficulties with yields with their current gen stuff. Due to again moving to 28nm. AMD have got their higher end card sort of on the market now, it has launched on paper. But you can not get hold of them. Mobile based ones will come later. Intel are thinking they will have mobile CPU's by around April / May.

The iMac is a bit of an odd system really in the way it is built.

It uses desktop grade CPU's and hard drives. But laptop grade memory, GPU etc. So they have to wait on all the parts being available.

2x4GB

 

[TimR26]

Would this 8gb Corsair RAM for £57 be any good?

[wozzaa]

Corsair memory is up there with the best. It is all much the same though to be honest.

Just buy what is cheapest and easiest to get hold of in the correct spec.

8GB crucial Ram for £34 ...
