27-Inch iMac Shipping Times Continue to Improve

that's good to hear, but have they actually resolved the problems? Are people still receiving new 27" iMacs with the yellow tinting or other display issues?

Yep, my i7 shipped yesterday, a week after ordering it.

Looks like we'll find out soon if the problem is fixed. I hope so as it would make a nice next machine for me.

Glad to hear it! I was thinking about getting one, but I think I'd rather wait on a new mac pro

If this thread, http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=865971, is true. Yes, they’re still problems.

By the time Apple gets it worked out, it’ll be time to upgrade the hardware.

Mine is perfect. No yellow, no flickering, no nothing.

My finger has been twitching to buy an i7 but, it's already some 4+ months after launch so, I think I'll wait for the quiet upgrade that often happens in June. I'll definitely buy then w/8 gigs (two dimms).

I'm hoping for a new processor and possibly USB 3.0 this spring?

yeah i'm thinking about waiting as well, especially if the display issues are still not resolved (at least for some people).

I got a 27" i5 imac from the apple store 2 weeks ago. I've had no flickering, yellow screen, dead pixels or any problems whatsoever. It's a beautiful fast machine and I'm loving it unconditionally :D

Regarding the yellow stains issue, I've been following it pretty closely.

I seems like it is still hit-or-miss. Some people have gotten good ones and some have returned multiple iMacs and still have not gotten ones without it. One good sign I've noticed is that the threads dealing with it have become a lot less active (just the same small group of people arguing back and forth), so hoplefully that means everyone is enjoying their iMacs rather than compaining on MR.

I myself have a freshly delivered replacement iMac waiting at home for me.

BTW, it shipped 7 days after the returned unit was processed. Considering it was coming from a Shanghi factory and the Chinese new year was in there, that's really good.

, so that's what I'm hoping.
