Back from CES and time to get back to the daily grind. And back to Kotaku Off Topic, where things non-gaming are discussed. Like recent and future purchases, maybe?
Now, I’m in the market for a new iMac, preferably something with a quad-core Intel chip and 27-inches of screen, something to replace my laptop as my primary workstation. But I also don’t want to deal with what Mark Wilson over at Gizmodo and many other new iMac owners have been dealing with—poor quality control on iMac LCD screens. If I felt like I had another option besides waiting for Apple to get its shit together, I’d pursue it. For now, I wait.
