Ended up ordering and receiving today the iMac 27" and damn this thing is big, dare I say too big for the desk. But its nice to work on. And I really like the magic mouse, doesn't have the issues like the Mighty Mouse were I didn't click to the side enough to do the right click. And the swipe motion is really nice to scroll.

Awesome! It looks like a very fine piece of hardware

I would like to buy one myself! How is yours configured? My wife needs to run windows for work, is it hard to do and can it run windows 7? I plan on buying one this weekend, seems like a very quiet and space saving computer. Maybe I can just use a adapter or something to plug in my pc to the apple monitor. Can I do that? If it's good enough for you then it is for me as well.

Just by Parallels and run it that way, in Coherence mode its all integrated or you can just BootCamp (Dual Boot essentially)

I like Golden Delicious and Fuji myself.

My favorites are honeycrisp or pinkcrisp This is the first Apple I am buying, will tell you what I think after I get it. If Parallels Desktop 5.0 for Mac works well, I should be very happy with that awesome monitor.

Wow that's better than mine. I personally didn't need the i7 but I did need the 27 inch screen.

[Guru]

where are the picturess?????

I have been reading this forum http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jsp ... 0&tstart=0 and I am getting a little worried that I will receive a bad unit. Are you having any issues with your 27inch imac?

Edit: After showing Natasha this thread, we both deceided to cancel our order. I will wait til the intel 6 cores to come out for our next computer. No point in buying something that doesn't work right.
