    Hi guys, this is just a heads up for those who are thinking about buying an iMac. I bought the 27inch model on Black Friday and since two days ago, my screen started flickering and blacking out. I returned it last night and found out this is a major problem for Apple right now. I got home and did a search on google and it seems like this problem is affecting a lot of people. I know it's an early model, but I would think there QC would be better. Anyways, I got refunded and will wait out until the problem is under control.

    This is your first Apple, isn't it ;)

    Better luck next time. And the time after that. And the time after that...

    If you bought it directly from Apple they will ship you a replacement system right away.
