Almost ten years after the first iMac was introduced, I finally bought one of the new aluminum 20-inch 2.4GHz variety. I only had a few minutes to set it up last night (luckily, that’s generally all you need for a Mac) but my first impressions match those of countless reviews elsewhere. It’s gorgeous looking, wicked fast and the screen is great. It will take me a bit to get used to the glossy screen though. Keep in mind that the machine this is replacing is a first generation 1.42GHz Mac mini with 512MB of RAM. Trying to run the iLife apps on that machine was an exercise in pain and I had no desire to attempt to install RAM when the primary tooling required is a putty knife. The new keyboard took about 0.5 seconds to get used to — I definitely like it. I’ll be adding another 1GB of RAM (2GB should be fine for my needs) this week and moving over the last of my files and whatnot. Anyone want a Mac mini on the cheap?
