    after using an imac for 3 weeks at work, I'm pretty disappointed. I was considering a mac mini but I'm now doubtful. Its an imac i3 4gig of ram, but its well slow with Ps, Dreamweaver, and firefox open at the same time, and the ps files are v small, consisting of no more than 3-4 layers.

    I've never had photoshop and dreamweaver crash as many times as it does on this machine. Home and End keys only seem to work in about 2 applications, and not in browsers at all.

    im more used to keyboard shortcuts on windows, but i do find the command key is in a massively more inconvenient place compared to ctrl. I mean command+alt+s in photoshop is just ridiculous compared to ctrl+command+s.

    I love expose and tree view in finder though, and I'm a fan of the build of this imac. Wouldnt mind one myself with windows on it. Of course this is all entirely subjective, so relax fan boyos.

    • use your thumb for Command, not your pinky. It's easy after thatmonospaced
    • I do! But still find it impractical. Obviously this isn't a common problem for the millions of mac users, just user preferenceHombre_Lobo
    • how is your thumb on the command key impractical??? it rests perfectly on it. You're just not used to it yet.CanHasQBN
    • Pinky for the Ctrl key is awful on PCs. The hand looks painful.CanHasQBN
