iMac 27" First impressions

If you follow this blog or track my postings on makethisbig.com then you may have noticed that I have not been posting lately.  As there is no good excuse for slacking on the job, I do have an explanation.  Recently my old Macbook Pro finally died on me.  As you can see from the title of this post I went ahead and got a new 27" iMac.  I purchased this computer over any other because I believe that for the price this mac had the best value for a desktop.

I do have some first impressions on this machine after playing around with it for a couple of hours.  To begin, I am overwhelmed by how big the screen actually looks when it sit on a desk.  Playing with one at an Apple store is no match to actually working with one on your desk.  It may just be my eyes playing a trick on my but I swear that the screen is bigger than 27".  Additionally, the machine is very quick.  I'll put the exact specs in a comment below if you are interested but the speed difference between this and my old Macbook Pro are unspeakable.  I can actually truly multitask without worrying about lag of other issues with outdated computers.  Also, compared to my Macbook Pro the iMac is as silent as a church mouse.  Even when doing heavy tasks like gaming, graphics processing or rendering video, this machine works smooth and quiet.

These impressions are only after a few hours of playing with my new toy and I hope that the stunning performance and elegance of the machine can last the test of time.  Only time itself can tell and until then I am beyond happy with my new computer.  With this computer also offers me more flexibility to post more content also I want feedback on an idea I have for Tech News Now.  I was thinking about starting a Youtube channel making videos about the post I make and other tech news.  Would that be something interesting?  Please comment below and expect a full review of my new 27" iMac in a week or so once I have put it through it's paces.
