But first from the front.
Unpacking
The packaging is again typical of Apple, very thoughtful, simple yet chic design. After opening the can is first received by the oblong box that contains the wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse (more on that later). 2 Stiroporteile next one is already on target - the (but very serious) iMac can be (easier than we thought) out of the box and turn off right at the forth place seen. Below the power cord is only rolled - that's it. But hard to believe a single cable is sufficient in fact to operate this computer fully satisfying. Finally, the times where you had to additionally spend on additional cable in PC buying another 100. Yet the device is snuggled into a soft shell, this can be determined by pull up (beware of the sticker tear down herewith forfeit due the right of return!) And then the films at the base and on the screen, unwrap the keyboard and mouse to good last connect the power cable - done! The computer can be started for the first time.
The Design
is really unlike any other computer. Hard to believe that a high-quality computer with top performances is stuck in this elegant casing.
First Boot Up
Classically it is first removed from the Apple "Gong" in reception, then the Magic Mouse should be switched on and after the selection of the system language follows the familiar intro. Then the usual, such as registration, migration with other Macs and settings - ready. Quick as ever.
The Screen
is hardly to put into words. At first, you really wondered whether the did not buy a size too big. In the shop the equipment see side by side still "small" but from at home that's something else. But this idea does not hold long. At the latest at the first appearance of a YouTube video, you know what you pay for his money - and regret a single penny. Great colors, beautiful lighting, no flicker, no dead pixels.
Keyboard and Mouse
First, to the keyboard. Again, I was buying not sure prefer wired but with numeric keypad or the compact standard version. Again, I have decided correctly. On any keyboard I've ever faster and with fewer errors than typed on this. Beautiful anchor point, good suspension, simple desgin. Perfect.
Now the mouse. Here was my biggest fear. Since it is very shallow, I was afraid that they do not fit my rather large hands. They also liked the testing in the shop not so good. But since it was probably at the position. In are they really can not be good use. But she is also not intended. While sitting, it is already something else. It is very light in the hand - rather in your fingers and is very precise. The palm is on the table and the palm of the hand touches the mouse barely. This is what makes the mouse very comfortable. They operated almost only with 4 fingers. Thumb and ring finger respectively outer and index and middle fingers make for clicking and scrolling, which by the way turns out to be very pleasant.
The operating system "OS X Snow Leopard"
I think there was really already said enough. That's better than Windows, it should be known and, thanks to the ever-growing community is now almost every program available for Mac.
The Core i5 quad-core processor
gets really noticeable. And not by noise or heat generation. So it is now possible to let the computer within 2.5 seconds to wake from sleep mode, which takes the MacBook Pro nor more than 20 seconds. From the old PC to say nothing. Even when requesting duties as Editor in Final Cut or music management in iTunes you can feel the processor significantly. It takes 20 seconds to iMovie completely open what were 2 minutes the MacBook.
Conclusion:
Who needs all the computers just for surfing and films, for the rich, the 21.5 "models. For more demanding tasks, such as Editor or high-end graphics gaming the i5 model is better.
Also I have not regretted buying this device (I have but frankly not expected).
