iMac revealed...

Ive mentioned in my previous post that its a nightmare having brought this monster back to moscow! I always have one notion that 'everything will eventually come into place when the time comes'. It applied even to this situation as well but having to go through the obstacles firsts seemed like its never gonna apply in the first place. Just a few days before my departure from Malaysia back to Moscow i started searching the luggage to carry my iMac in. I measured the size of my iMac which i dont remember now but then it was like the number '23' (please go to the cinema for more information) haunting me night and day! So there was i searching every single luggage store for the right bag. My initial strategy was like this, as the iMac's stand cant be unassembled the only option to fit this thing in a bag is byputting it face down. But what worried me the most was will it be safe to put the mac without any padding. I was soo desperate that the price of the luggage doesnt matter (it did initially) as long as my investment in this mac would worth it! From one shop to another,one shopping complex to the other, one state to another (haha i didnt actually did this on purpose but my village is in another state if you get what i mean) but still this number 23 haunts me.

Up to the very end, i.e the morning of my departure day this question wasnt resolved until i finally noticed the obvious. Why dont we use the original box? said i to my family members(a bit poietic have i become). It has the paddings we need and the exact size for the mac to fit. But the drawback of this is wheather im allowed to bring this box inside the cabbin. There's no way im gonna checked this box in (which eventually did come into reality sadly). So rushingly i drove to my local airport bringing with me the empty iMac box to ask the ground staff wheather this box is allowed into the cabin area, which is of course NOT said one of the ground staff! Next time then...got an iMac to reveal...huhu

iMac

-below are images i took from iMac user guide given by apple to their users. I used the command-shift-4 (its like print screen in windows accept u can choose area to catch your pictures by dragging your cursor) to capture this pictures. These info is exlusively given to those who already bought mac but nevertheless ill reveal it for the purpose of Switching ...

Out of the box

This is what you will get when you purchase an iMac. What? Where's the CPU?.... its all there! Everything is already built inside. Yup, no clogged wires, space saving! How about speakers? Like i told you before-everythings there and ill pin point where they're all located..



Front View A

As you can see on the side theres the slot to load your DVD's and remote rest. Yup the remote attaches magnetically to the side of your imac. The power indicator light is only noticeable when the mac is being switched ON and when its sleeping. One thing about the disc slot is that it doesnt have any eject button physically on the mac. Its on the keyboard instead! Thus you can deduce by now wheater you can use other keyboards other than apple's..... sigh...yup the volume and mute button is also on the keyboard.


Here is shown the slot loading area
Magnetic placing of the Remote

Front View B

Yeah, recent lines of macs except for macpro has i-sight installed where you can use it to make video conference,take pictures and as well make movies! Near to it as you can see is a built in microphone. The IR (infrared) receiver for the remote is the apple logo itself. The speakers although at the bottom but it works extremely well! The only drawback is that if the files youre playing is of low audio quality,the volume cant be amplified enough sometimes to be heard if youre staying far away from your mac. Apple's keyboard comes in with 2 USB ports at the rear side. One is usually used for inserting your mighty mouse and the other one i use for thumb drives...


Rear View A

-new generation iMacs have mini DVI port in case you are feeling that you need extra desktop/working space to attached an additional monitor.
-the rest you can see it by yourself-3 USBs and 2 fire-wire 400 ports

Rear View B
-memory access is the place you would pay attention to if you wanna upgrade our RAM-by yourself that is
Mighty Mouse

-although it may look like a buttonless mouse, it may be one of the most crowded buttoned mouse ever!
-What a mouse ball on the upper side? Yup !you can scroll left and right, up and down using one scroll ball (this is super cool but you better make sure no dust is trapped in there or youll be in serious trouble!) Clicking on the scroll ball lets u choose which windows you wanna work with (alt-tab equivalent)
-Side button is usually used for expose' (its like aero in vista) where you have to 'squeeze' the mouse

Remote

-a device that is especially loved by couch potato like me. There's a few cool stuff you can do with this remote actually. You can put your computer to sleep and boot your mac into windows just by using your remote!!
