Consumers have been reporting issues with their brand new Apple i7 iMac's, some with a cracked screen casing, and others are reporting theirs are dead on arrival. This issue doesn't appear to be universal, only affecting some of the new iMac's, but is still enough of a problem to raise concern if you plan on purchasing one this Christmas.
Engadget even reported having dead on arrival i7 iMac, that wouldn't even boot. Engadget.com isn't alone in this; they are among dozens of others who are reporting the same problems at Apple.com support forum.
