  • The first aluminum iMac ever, introduced by Steve Jobs at the Special Event in August 2007.
    Although Steve Jobs advertizes the new 20" iMac being 300 dollars cheaper than its predecessor, he unfortunately doesn't tell us that the new 20" iMac uses a cheap TN panel, compared to the better and more expensive S-IPS model in the white 20" iMac.

    Only a couple of months after the iPhone announcement and Steve looks noticeably thinner here. It breaks my heart seeing how he declined from late 2007-11. I'll miss him enormously, however he left a great team at Apple.

Not exactly a speed demon but it runs everything well: Photoshop, Illustrator, iMovie, etc. With Leopard I had a few crashes, but now it's running better than ever. Mountain Lion is a great OS. The DVD RW did break, so I opened up the iMac, pulled the drive out and got an external for $30. One repair in 5 years. Not bad.

    At least the price tag includes a stand in 2007

    Heat on the outside comes from where? Sure in some cases, exterior heat caused by the internals is better... But when your macbook pro gets hot enough that touching the palm rest becomes uncomfortable, to an end user it is a bad thing.
    And yes, palm rest.

    1:00 pretty sure if you spent like 2 mins cable managing that, it would look 10x better. And what i see in that picture, is freedom. Should anything in that image fail, it can easily be replaced, even if anything internal fails. PCs, Especially custom built ones, give you the freedom to open it up, and replace any defective parts. Can you easily do that with an iMac? No, you can't. That's a deal breaker.

    Hi Steve, I come from the future telling you that Apple will be selling the Mac Pro stand for $999.

      If Apple prices the monitor with stand at $5999 instead $4999 without the stand, will you still complain?
