Since I can’t even FIND a 27 inch iMac with a 2.93 GHz i7 (4 cores, 8 threads) processor with the optional 256 Gig SSD (Solid State Drive) ON AMAZON TO REVIEW, I’ll offer my review here. I’m STOKED with this purchase! I paid $200 extra for the better i7 processor, decided to skip the memory boosting option to go with the minimum 4 GB on delivery, (then spent about $90 on Amazon Komputerbay 4GB (2 X 2GB) DDR3 SODIMM (204 pin) 1333Mhz PC3 10600 for Apple 4 GB (8-8-8-24) for what Apple THOUGHT was worth $400, and now have 8 GB RAM total – more than enough), but HAPPILY paid $600 for the 256 GB Solid State Drive; no moving parts, less heat generated and faster than any mechanical drive at a SUSTAINABLE 3 GB/sec. I didn’t WANT another 1 TB internally: just another thing to fail, and MORE HEAT GENERATED within the [all-in-one display and] chassis, plus NOT worth $150 [for THAT much $, I want 2 TB]. There are 3 fans, and most of the time they are very subtle (but you can feel the heat coming out behind the top of the unit). External USB [hard drive] storage is both inexpensive, and EASY TO REPLACE or upgrade. That’s why I decided to configure as I did. I could not be happier with these decisions.
I’m a programmer first, and photographer second. Processing photos has been rather slow until now. This new iMac can process 96 [Digital NeGative files of "15 Megapixels" (which show up as 23.5 Megs apiece in Finder or Explorer) in about 3 minutes. My old "Core 2 Duo" 2 GHz iMac with 2 Gig of RAM would take nearly an hour for the same feat with the same software [Photoshop CS3], connected to the exact same drive via USB 2.0. Photo-processing forced me to upgrade, but I’m a happy camper, because EVERY task zips along like never before.
To say that I am pleased with this upgrade is like saying that there are fireworks on the 4th of July. [Go to Bridgeport for the best 4th of July fireworks in all of California!] I don’t LIKE this iMac, it makes my mouth FALL OPEN; it’s so FAST! I can run 8 videos on the screen at the same time (with big files making everything freeze for a few seconds while they load, otherwise they ALL run without a hiccup), and Photoshop [File - Scripts - Image Processor] runs unbelievably fast! And, rather than connect wirelessly, I have a CAT5 cable to ensure that nothing slows me down. This is the fastest computer I’ve ever SEEN, let alone OWNED!
I absolutely LOVE movies on this! I may discontinue cable TV; the only thing I love to watch is Bill Maher on HBO or other programs with no commercials.
If you have about $3,000 to spend on a new system, you won’t be disappointed with what you get. If you’re upgrading your iMac, hang onto your old Remote control; it works just fine with the new machine, even though the new remotes have a different layout. I don’t think you can find a better machine at this price. After 20 years as a PC user and tech, my 2006 switch to the Mac was the best decision I ever made. May the Schwartz be with you!
