Wow, we’re really buying a lot of Macs these days among ourselves. Mehul, Sunny, Preshit, I and now you… cool!

20-inch iMac is great. Go for it, I say.

 

[goobimama]

Btw, if your usage involves more than internet surfing and movie watching, then the screen of the 20" isn't the best in the world. Otherwise its a fine machine.

 

[jamesbond007]

Oh wow another iMac!! Mera number kab aayega... but when it comes I won't think anything less than 24inch screen

 

[SunnyChahal]

@Dinesh,20" baby is awesome!Get it without any second thoughts.

I hope everybody had nice weekend.
Its time to change my desktop pc to imac. Well, I've decided to buy 20" 2.66 Ghz. I've two possible options one to buy from Atria Mall in Worli or one in Andheri (Techvantage or something). I've visited Worli store before. Any last minute suggestions. (Its not last minute but 4-5 days only).

Goodluck with the purchase. Where in Mumbai are you?

I was thinking about buying a Time Machine until I read the poor reviews about it. This guy bought it and it took him 4 days to back up 30something GB! I expected a better review from the customers. Is anyone in here experiencing problems with a Time Machine?

 

[preshit.net]

OH you just had to ask, didn't you?

 

[iMav]

OMG! Sunny go boy go! Here is your chance!

 

[cooldudie3]

^^Sunny is not the one buying the iMac. It is Dinesh

OH you just had to ask, didn't you?

I wanted to make sure those reviews are real! Dude! If they were fake, I could still reconsider it!

 

[iMav]

Sunny+Time Capsule=Pissed off Goobi!

 

[cooldudie3]

Oh, Sunny is having problems? Anyone else that has a Time Capsule?

 

[SunnyChahal]

@Manan,Thanks
Here you go:
Never in life buy Time Capsule!I can give you a link where each and every person is having the same problem with Time Capsule I am having!It eats up all the bandwidth while backing up.I don't know how Aayush is not having this problem.Maybe due to g network or something but a majority of users are having this problem.Also,the range is pathetic even with n network.It can't cover my whole 3-storey house
Better buy a 500 GB FireWire800 external hard disk+a good WiFi router and still save some bux.
Again.......don't buy Time Capsule!Not worth the money.

Piss on this!

 

[cooldudie3]

Any recommendations for Firewire 800/400 external hard drives? Is there a big difference with Firewire 400 and USB 2.0?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Read those reviews?
Here you can see all WD Mac ready external HDDs!

@Preshit
I am from Nerul.
I am not going to watch films on iMac. I've LCD for that.

 

[SunnyChahal]

Bought a PSP.Please help me with syncing it with my iMac.

 

[preshit.net]

Finally decided to buy a internal SATA HDD and hook it into my PC that's connected to my WiFi network and use it to store ALL my media content. Reasons?

Question:
Will I be able to use a partition on it for Time Machine?

 

[iMav]

^^ If the partition is formatted to HFS+ then yes.

 

[dinesh72]

Mobileme - Another two months extension! This could only happen with Apple!!
Sadly, the service is still not very well up.

I have a thought of getting the hitachi 320 gig 7200rpm drive fitted in my MBP. how complicated will the procedure be? I'm already out of warranty period on my mbp.
