noise
sweet... How's the noise? and how's the glare?
I swear my iMac G5 has become louder.

Interested to see how the screen is. Happy to answer questions.

Live from a new iMac.
Very sweet looking machine.
Just some quick notes before we load it with ram.
Keyboard is very quiet and so slim the lack of a wrist rest is immaterial. That said there is no indent on the keys to help finger alignment but the keyspacing is okay.
F-keys are too close to the numeric keys - still not bad. I might try it for a bit on my main system
Yes there is glare.
Have not played a movie but for media this will be a winna - designers...hmmm.
The monitor was almost unusable out of the box - settings were so far out - don;t know what that was about.
ALL of the settings were skewed like this

Not sure what Apple was on about this.
Unit is very quiet - does beg for the wireless gear as it's so sleek.
Going to be popular to transport as an entertainment unit for the cottage. - Could easily watch a movie - especially on the 24" which unfortunately we have yet to see.
Will try movie trailer and sound now.

These truly sound like sweet machines. Keep teasing us all with details, MacDoc.

Switching back to the matte 30" for now it's clear the Designer Prime of the iMac wears black turtleneck sweaters
Reflections ARE be distracting and a matte screen on this would have been a wonder ala a Samsung 215.
Still it's a gorgeous bit of design - I'd say perhaps the very best Apple has yet produced even beyond the Cube and matching monitor.
With wireless KB set ( so cheap why not ) this = desk envy big time.
Even the "chin" is really not intrusive - the early G5 iMacs look positively clunky in comparison. It really is slim and Apple has used black and aluminum to emphasize that.
The black around the screen with just a thin aluminum trim makes the 20" look like a 24".
I'm just wondering if they can pull off a 30" version which would be a total cross over unit for many families - HD media centre and monster workspace at the same time.
Needs an HDMi in tho.
By making the back all black it keeps it smoother but it's hard to find the ports - that little pen flashlight will be de rigeur.
I'm curious if Apple used different screen qualities up the line. I tell you out of the box was unbearable. Would like to hear from others on that.

My MacBook screen was equally ill-calibrated out of the box. i was surprised by this.

When I was at durham college in oshawa, I met a good buddy of mine who was taking a photography course. His program gave him a macbook, I bought mine myself. He had to give his back and just got his new iMac. He says it's freakin sweet.
If anyone could test out some games and post your reactions of full settings. Especially World of Warcraft
