\"iMacProblem\"Many people who ordered one of the new 27″ iMacs (including many with the fancy-schmancy i5 or i7 processors<\/strong>) are turning on their brand new machines, only to find\u2026 that they don’t turn on!<\/p>\n

Apparently, a number of the i7 iMacs (including one purchased by Engadget<\/a>) are just flat out not booting. Apple’s support forums<\/a> have quite a few complaints about 27″ iMacs either arriving DOA<\/a>, having intermittent video problems<\/a>, or having\u00a0odd software glitches<\/a>. This is, of course, in addition to the large number of people receiving their new 27″ iMacs with the lower left corner of the glass broken<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When we benchmarked the new iMacs<\/a>, we didn’t have any of these problems, but judging by the number of reports on these, it’s a good chance that we were just lucky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This brings to mind an old rule of thumb about hardware from Apple – you may want to\u00a0wait until the second or third revision<\/strong> to make sure all the kinks are worked out. While it’s fun to have the latest and greatest, sometimes it’s easier (not to mention less expensive) to just upgrade the memory<\/a> and hard drive<\/a> in your current machine, rather than buy a whole new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
