Today, I read Review about Apple iMac on Mouthshut.com – the Consumer Review Website.
Apple has a habit of springing surprises where you’d least expect them. Their products can be likened to that long cherished T-shirt that you have always dreamt of wearing. You are overjoyed to spot one in the market - first class clothing material, just the right size, lovely sleeves, that perfect earthy colour and that elusive V neck you have always been obsessed with. Its only when you go to the counter to get it billed that you notice a grose graffiti adorning the backside, that too in rubberpaint. You feel like banging your head. You cant decide whether to buy or not and you end up cursing the manufacturer for having manufactured a brilliant piece of merchandise only to spoil it with that rubberpaint.
When I opened the carton of my new iMac it wasn’t without a set of apprehensions. What if there is no power cord ? What if I’m told I’ll have to buy it separately for 2K. These things happen with Apple. They always do. However, I was pleased as punch to see that they had given me a sparkling white power cord and a long one too. I checked and everything else seemed in order. I was thanking my good luck. I connected the cord to the machine and was about to push the plug in the power socket when I realized that the Plug was a flat pinned one. And there was no sign of an adapter. Darn them, why do they always have to do this :-(
I got a cheap adapter from the market. Also as suggested on various sites I tried finding a 4 GB 1333Mhz generic RAM stick meant to be installed prior to starting the machine for the 1st time (to make it compatible). I hardly hoped of getting one, if at all, for less than 5-6K. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I was told I could get a 4 GB RAM tailor-made for iMac for as little as 1.8k. I swear I could have bought another Apple machine I was so happy. Anyways I got the 4GB stick, installed it, followed instructions and switched the thing on. A slick setup and soon I found myself face to face with the legendary Apple desktop and the famous Dock.
RATING: 5/5
