24 hrs means that you'll get it within probably a week including shipping. If you customised your imac with some of the options, it will be considered as built to order and it take slightly more time. The quoted days in the item means that usually it will take that long for them to ship out from their warehouse or factory.

anyone got overheating problem?
i touched the left top side of the 27" monitor, it's really hot.

I am on 21" and I do feel the rear of the iMac is hot.

Accessories maker should have design a exhaust fan to suck out the air..

What type of accessories?

@iceggy the iMac is designed using aluminium to vent out the heat ... if you feel yours is abnormally hot, use the original discs to run the Apple Hardware Test.

we're not meant to raba the iMac

Be more specific what is "hot". Run temperature monitor app get the reading on various sensors. 35°C can be hot. 100°C also is hot.

buy my first imac 21.5' hi spec....still learn how to use it

My iMac 2006 version (4.5 years old) shows some lines today .... sedih. Now have to buy a new one ... hows the 2011 iMac? I might get the stock RM5299 27 inch version.

Read in the post above that it gets hot ... how hot is hot?

I'm thinking bout getting an iMac 27" just cause it look so cool and I've read rave reviews bout it. But a friend told me I should wait for windows 8. Being not very computer savvy I need professional advice regarding this.

To assist you in contributing to this topic I provide you with the following information:

- my main usage for a desktop is for entertainment purpose. Eg. Watching movies, surfing the Internet, document work, online shopping lolz and a bit of gaming, I'm not a hardcore gamer. I like to play old school arcade game ^^

Also, I heard one of the drawbacks bout this iMac is that it doesn't have hdmi. What's hdmi?

I guess that would be all I need to know and I would love iMac users to comment on their purchase and experience with the product. Thanks

Why buy a Mac when u want to run Windows? Just settle for normal PCs. If u can afford the 27", u have plenty of specs to choose from.

Mac OS is designed with one feature in mind, making everything simpler such that even baby boomers can use it.

With that being said, every product line offered by Apple has a very sleek and clean design. Take the iMac 27' for example, it's currently one of the best (if I'd say so myself) AIO desktop for home or professional. The large IPS screen offers a wide color gamut (spectrum) and viewing angle compared to conventional LCD technology. Well if you settle for PC there is always Dell U2711 (27") for it but iMac bundles everything together. The screen itself alone is already a good reason to purchase it.

I'd noticed that entertainment is one of the reason for your purchase. Well you won't be dissapointed with the gorgeous screen by iMac. The tradeoff is it's glossy. So put it in a well-lid room is a must. I can't stand glossy screen under strong sunlight XD

HDMI is a cable that is able to carry both video and audio signals. It is not a concern as iMac has its own Thunderbolt port, and is backward compatible with mini-Display port. You do, however, need to purchase a mini-DP to HDMI adapter if you'd like to connect the screen with other HDMI interface device.

I would say go for your purchase if your wallet allows. Else Windows works fine too.

Thanks for the feedback.
The screen is to die for

Private.G have put much I wanted to say. You won't go wrong with the newly refreshed iMac. It's the fastest Mac so far, even a MacPro owner felt envy at certain aspect.

Things about IT is you should never waste time on waiting something that yet to come. By the time that particular product arrived or announce, the rumors for next gen started. So wait some more?? If you need it now, just get it. Enjoy it. I'm pretty sure the iMac can last few years for your need.

I'm looking forward to get a 27" too. Is the heat a problem at all? Im sure it's under warranty right?

I've googled about heat issues with the new iMac and since the entire body is made of aluminum casing, it is expected that the body will get hot as it acts as a heat sink as well so as long as the inner components are okay then it should be fine ... my 2006 iMac is back to normal, must be because it knows I want to replace it after yesterday's lines ....

Ohh well, that's save me RM5000 which can go for a nice Omega Seamaster .... hmmmm choices choices.

guess TS can install window 8 into his iMac in near future

Thanks for merging my thread. Anyways I'm actually in Australia and can't believe the iMacs here are a lot more expensive compare to Msia. It's like rm1500 more than Msia. So estatic when I got to know how much they were selling in Msia. XD

Added on June 20, 2011, 9:11 pmWrong calculation it's rm900 difference not rm1500 but still it's still a big reduction.

MeruChan dont worry about not having HDMI. u only need HDMI to send video to another display. there's already a freaking good display on the imac so i dont think u want to send the video out to anywhere else

rm900 difference is huge. sure it's the same model / spec?

if u buy an imac now u get to upgrade to OSX Lion for free. so far i dont see anything to get excited about windows8 :S

It's SAR7499 here in Saudi and that's about RM6000 ringgit which is 700 bucks more expensive than Malaysia. I might get it in Malaysia and bring it here. Is the warranty international or local?

Yes it's the same model! And the is a on promotion price, normally it is like rm1500 difference.

So excited! But I'm only going back to Msia in about 1-2 months time. Hopefully they still have the free upgrade.

I need to learn how to use Mac tho. Besides iPhone I've never used any Mac product except using my friends MacBook pro occasionally.
