Apple has been struggling with the flickering issue on the 27” iMac displays, it appears that Apple is apparently offering 15% refunds to users who have exchanged their iMacs multiple times in seeking to have the issues addressed.

On a $2,000 iMac 15% is about a $300 apology from Apple’s customer support.  Digging around online, it sounds like you need to be a repeat iMac returner who’s dealt with multiple 27-inch iMacs.

So I recently stopped smoking at the beginning of  the month for various reasons, and one of my goals to finally kick this for good was to put the money I would have spent on smoking towards a goal.  I have always wanted to purchase a Mac, and now this is my chance to set a goal.  I am planning by June to make my purchase, but I am really unsure of the route to take.

I’m setting a budget of $1,200 dollars (give or take) for this purchase.  I am not sure which route to take, Mac Mini, Macbook Pro, or the base iMac.  I currently have a laptop (single 2.0Ghz, 2GB RAM, 100GB hard drive running Windows 7), but I am not sure if I should purchase another laptop or move towards a desktop (iMac).
