The New And Not Improved Intel Imac, iMac a piece of junk? Options

[drewott]

Recently (february), I purchased a new intel iMac w/ 2 gigs of ram. Exciting right? ... well not exactly. After three days of flawless processing the iMac started acting up. I will not go into details (space is limited), but lets just say when I tried to return it apple allowed me to do so and apologized for any inconvenience.

The reason I feel this is post-worthy is I spoke to a friend who is now a part a class action law suit against mac for the first gen. G-4's which were riddled with problems.

Does apple have a reputation for rushing things to market? Is this just another example of that?

Has anybody else experienced intel iMac problems?

I am certainly willing to give apple the benefit of the doubt, but after spending 2G's on a computer that was clearly a piece of $#!t, I can't help but feel slighted.

Drewott you had the black sheep of the lot I think…

A friend of mine had a first gen iMac G5, it worked ok, then behaved more and more strangely after months of use, we did some home maintenance to verify if anything was wrong, then we checked and he was of the known bad lot of the beginning. So apple, 2 or 3 weeks away and back in top form now… It's always a nightmare when this happens.

Now the problem of "how can I work while I don't have a computer?" depends of your relationship with your apple center, and you'd better be a professional then.
