New iMac

Posted on August 14, 2007

The new iMac arrived yesterday, it's quite a nice machine. I have the previous generation iMac at my office with similar specs and the most noticeable difference is the glossy screen. Colors seem richer and the screen just pops. I've only scraped the surface of the new iLife and iWork suite but it seems to be a good improvement. My only long term concern is the keyboard. While it looks cool, the feel is quite different and I don't know if I'm going to stick with it. The other odd thing about it is the location of the Function key. Unlike the MBP, the function key is to the right of the delete key, which makes for an odd reach when wanting to use the secondary functions in the function keys.

I used the new iPhoto web gallery feature to publish the unpacking photos. You can view them here.

    By new do you mean one of the aluminum iMacs? Those things do look pretty sweet.

    Yup, it's pretty nice indeed, though today I switched back to the previous generation keyboard.
