Unbox Apple iMac 24-inch 2.8GHz
I bought an Apple iMAc 24-inch 2.8GHz desktop computer during the PC Fair 2008 (II) from Machines. I had unboxed the iMac in the night of the day I bought it.
It is HUGE! I didn’t know how to get the iMac out of the box. At the end, I turned the box upside down to get it out. (dangerous movement!)
Here are the photos taken (uploaded to Flickr):
There are only a few items contained in the iMac box: Apple iMac, Apple slim keyboard, Apple mighty mouse and Apple remote.
There is no Mac OS X beginner guide like Apple iBook box, only a small “Everything Mac” booklet which tells you the features of your iMac and the problem troubleshooting.
Apple isn’t trouble free. I experienced iMac screen “burn”/blackout and system hang problems in just a few days.
It seems the iMac’s heat caused the various problems. I installed a freeware called smcFanControl and everything become all right!
I’m not a big fan of Apple but I’m glad that you are happy with your new iMac. :-)
just curious, between a Mac and a PC, which OS do you prefer? and how much time do you spend with a Mac OS X against the Windows?
I am pretty much a PC guy, not that I love windows but I like the scalability of a PC.
@DannyArcher: you mean Mac OS X and Windows? I prefer Mac OS X. I don’t use Windows unless I have to.
Scalability is the major advantage of PC but it also increase the possibility of hardware conflicts.
I seldom upgrade computer after I bought one, so Mac is fine to me. I like the stability of a Mac.
Wow…so nice…wish to have one Apple iMac too…
