I own and love my 27inch iMac. It exemplifies the quote from Apple's senior vice president:
“iMac continues to be the example that proves how beautiful, fast and fun a desktop computer can be,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "
But as someone that doesn't like to mess with hardware too often, I am very disappointed at how difficult it is to change a simple hard drive on this machine, and that they don't figure out how to make it easier. My computer is beautiful, but I have to suction off the glass display to change the hard drive.
The other day I upgraded my PS3 to an ssd with almost zero knowledge of what I was doing. There was a tab, a screw, and a lever. Unplug tab, unscrew screw, pull lever, replace hard drive. Took < 5 minutes.
I understand aesthetic beautiful designs, but something about the way inside my iMac makes me feel like its a big design flaw. I knew what I was getting into when I bought this computer, but I was hoping in the future, updates to the iMac would make it much easier.
I guess in the end, the beauty of the design is in the eye of the beholder. Tough to make everyone happy...
