Deal or no deal? iMac Al...

[davester]

My bad...I mistook the 2gb for 2 ghz in your original post....I guess you didn't list the speed at all. No matter, it is still a downgrade to go from a white 2.16 to an aluminum 2.2

[Cary]

No, not your bad,it's mine. I did fail to list the speed.

Sorry...

I'd be suspicious because of the all caps.

If you buy the iMac, the first thing you'll want to do is check the keyboard, to make sure the caps lock isn't permanently stuck. If so, you can replace the keyboard cheaply, and it's still an okay deal.

Interesting, but half the ad is caps, half lowercase. Regardless, since it's only 3 months old, that wouldn't deter me, I'm sure that's warranty-able....

I'm trying to decide if it's worth $1100...

Reports of inferior quality LCD panels in the Al 20" are widespread.

theres no such thing as a 2.2 imac

the one you listed is a 2.0, cause that comes with the radeon 2400xt, 128 megs vram (but not a 320 gig drive, maybe they added it)

the 20" 2.4 (again, no 2.2) comes with the radeon 2600 PRO, 256 megs vram and a 320 gig stock

i know, i own one of each AND a 20" 2.16 like you have

the new AL 20" screens suck for any design work -- normal everyday stuff you prob wont notice it, but do any design work with color and you will...

OK, thanks all!
