So the iMac is on the verge of being returned. A few minor, but annoying issues:
- Dead Pixel – not a lot that can be done about this, but annoying though.
- Dust on the LED backlight screen
- Dust on the inside of the glass panel
- High pitch squeak
- Occasional flicker (after a number of hours)
So just a few issues then. Apparantly I have 28 days to return it to John Lewis, providing it’s in a sellable condition. Which of course it will be when I return it. I’ll leave it up to John Lewis to morally decide if they can resell it. Most of the issues listed appear to be general faults with the new iMac so maybe they can resell it. Others probably aren’t as fussy as me.
Still a bit sad as I like the product. Back to the old MacMini then. I’ll miss the magic mouse and the touch of a new keyboard. Have just reinstalled Leopard and Snow Leopard back on to the mini, restored the data from my iMac. Now in the process of zeroing data on the iMac HDD.
Look out for the iMac reboxing video soon (mainly to counter the unboxing videos)
/edit. Took it back and got the refund. Well the refund was issued, but because of UK Banking being the worlds slowest I should get it back around Wednesday.
