Is iMac’s built in demerits ailing Apple Inc.?


There had been large talks with regard to the launch of iMac, Apple Inc.’s 27-inch all-in-one desktop computer both in and out of the company and it was formally released in October. But even after this, when people thought that all settled, shipping on orders of the cutting-edge device has been delayed by two weeks. Reason? Well, Apple has given a justification in this regard but to most of people it is nothing but a ploy to enshroud own demerits and hence it is largely feeble. Is it so?

On the word of Apple Inc., the delays are on account of high demand for the all-in-one desktop computer, its largest model yet. "The new iMac has been a huge hit and we're working hard to fulfill orders as quickly as possible," Apple's official statement says. "We apologize for any inconvenience or delay in delivery this may cause our customers." As already said, many are considering it as feeble and smell a rat. Copious numbers of conjectures are running high, as a result.

Let’s crack down on unofficial sources then. Many analysts have started saying that the 27-inch iMac has display problems. Chatter about cracked screens began in Apple's discussion boards last month, and Macworld's test unit suffered the same fate. A great talk is also going on regarding flickering displays; it's the most frequently reported issue at a website committed to documenting the 27-inch iMac's woes.

Do you want to lend ears to the versions of sharp detractors? One of them is surely BroadPoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall who lays the blame directly on ATI's graphics cards. "They should've stuck to Nvidia," Marshall told MacNewsWorld. Apple brings ATI cards into play in both its 27-inch iMacs and one of its 21-inch models, but only the larger models have been delayed. Marshall, in addition, questioned Apple's claim that its flagship iMac is a huge hit, calling it a "low-volume product."
