New 24″ iMac

By Daniel Miessler on May 20th, 2008: Tagged as Apple | Geek

I just got my first new computer in around three years – a top of the line 24″ iMac with four gigabytes of RAM. Plus it has an nVidia 8800 with 512MB of video memory. The display makes all the difference, let me tell you.

Unfortunately I’m feeling a bit like crap tonight. So I’m going to take more medicine and try to sleep it off. I’ll start the data migration and application refresh tomorrow after work.

A slightly subdued W00t.

    I’ve also bought an iMac 24″ last week!

    But not the last model, the previous “low” level iMac 24″, the 2.4 GHz, from the Refurb Store: the price was very nice!

    I’m a switcher and I fond Leopard very good!

    The 24″ imac is unique in that it has a S-IPS panel in it (better viewing angle, 24-bit color). The S-IPS is basically the best panel available in consumer devices and is not present in the smaller imacs. They tend not to advertise which panel is in a display, but you can infer it from the published viewing angle specs.

    still hanging on to my G5 dualie for as long as I can, bought it 6months before they announced the Intel migration. TY Apple! It’s still a good PC and has been for years, but If I could throw away $16000 I’d max out the new Powermac.
