When Apple first announced the 27-inch iMac last month, tech enthusiasts the world over were rubbing their hands together at the prospect of owning one of largest all-in-one computer screens ever built.

But many of those same buyers are now flocking to the Apple user forum to report a multitude of hardware problems and voice their disappointment with the new iMac.

Sometimes the screen completely blacks out for 2-3 seconds on intervals of 5-6 secs and the machine becomes useless,” wrote a forum user in the US.

“Thanks. Just canceled my iMac order. I could have lived with a screen that is really a big mirror but if it also flickers that is a showstopper, sorry Apple,” said a forum user in the Netherlands.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
