Speaking of buying the iMac 27 Retina 5K from Bic Camera in Kyoto, and sending it back to China by air at the post office, the whole maple-viewing journey repeatedly remembered the iMac package that was also on the trip, and finally after the journey home, immediately The administrator took back this box of monsters, and then presented the hot iMac 5K simple unboxing text for everyone!
◎ Easy unpacking
After a seven-day journey from Japan to Taiwan, the bubble wrap of the package has been damaged and the plastic handle has come loose, but it is generally said to be intact.Next, in accordance with the usual practice, is to carry out the simple unpacking!
▲ After tearing open the bubble cloth a little, the corrugated paper box is a little dented, which is not too worrying.
▲ The outer box packaging shows that the shipping date is 2014/11/07 and the weight is 15 kg.
▲ After opening the front corrugated paper, there is a thick anti-collision sponge inside, allowing people to swallow a pill on the spot.
The bubble cloth on the outermost layer is nothing more than peace of mind.
▲ The front is a big product photo, the angled design of the camera angle, only the thin frame can be seen.
Of course, this camera angle is suspected of "fraud", after all, the body behind the screen is still thick.
▲ There is a thick sponge on the front and back inside the corrugated box to provide anti-collision protection measures.
▲ A black handle is designed on the carton.For products weighing more than ten kilograms, I dare not test the carrying capacity of the handle.
Because many people will leave the packaging box, it may only be designed for beautiful, in fact, the second-hand price will be more beautiful.
▲ The thick foam on the corrugated paper has been measured to exceed 2 cm!
▲ Pure white and simple packaging style for Apple products. The iMac currently also has product photos printed on the front of the carton.
The iPhone 6 series packaging box does not even have a photo, and the design of the three-dimensional relief is even more interesting.
▲ The product specification label is affixed to the upper cover, which mainly describes various important specifications. Of course, the ones bought in Japan are in Japanese.
▲ Tear off the seal on the packing box and prepare for the real opening of the inner packing box!
▲Opening the top cover is a rectangular box of keyboard, mouse and manual, which is set in the styrofoam.
▲ The front cover of the inner box is also opened forward.
In the past 20 inches, the entire machine was lifted from the top of the box. The 27-inch product was estimated to be too heavy, so it was changed to a forward-folding method.
▲ In addition to the keyboard and mouse box, you can see that the black plastic handle has a special load-bearing design.
▲ After the styrofoam on the cover was easily pulled up, the body finally appeared.
▲ The thinness of the screen can be seen by cutting the hole size from the screen position of the top cover Styrofoam.
▲ The body covered with cloth material can be stably stuck in the styrofoam.
▲ The two black round shapes with the handles really look like a cardboard box man lying on the floor.
▲ Behind the machine, I saw a seal on it!An Apple logo must be added to the seal paper.
▲ Immediately move the 20-inch old love to the side to make room for the new love.
▲ After tearing open the cloth packaging, you can see the body, and there is an additional layer of plastic film on the screen to protect it.
▲ The 27-inch and 20-inch iMac are placed for the sake of meeting customers.
Then change to a wood-colored table made of Canadian maple, and you can open the door for business. (error)
▲ The power cord is placed in the groove of the styrofoam and fixed with glue film. There is also a groove of the same size on the other side, which is empty.
Apple's symmetrical design aesthetics!
▲ It also has a power cord plug in the shape of a cardboard box.
▲ The power cord can pass through the round hole on the bracket. This hole-digging design also has the function of arranging the wires of each slot.
▲ With dual microphone design, the front is located next to the video lens, and the rear is located above the LOGO.
The dual microphone design can reduce environmental noise, make the reception clearer, and facilitate dictation and video calls.In addition, the headphone jack also supports headphones with a microphone, such as the headphones that come with the iPhone, and you can use the headphone jack to simultaneously perform radio work.
▲ Polishing the black and bright LOGO is the insistence of the brand manufacturer, and of course it also depends on the consumer's money.
▲ The rear slots are headphone output jack, SDXC memory card slot, four USB3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, and Ethernet jack.
▲Just insert the round plug into the round hole.Huh?The description text seems weird.
Under the plug is the Kensington anti-theft lock hole. As for such a big machine, there is little chance of using it, and it can't be used to prevent it.
▲ The power button is hidden at the bottom right of the back of the machine, and you can easily feel the position by touching it with your hand.
There is a well-hidden vent on the upper left of the power button, which can only be seen by peeking from the side.The back cover under the cooling holes is where the memory can be expanded.Apple's information products emphasize that they can be on standby around the clock like home appliances. The design has always been disliked for consumers to switch on and off easily. Products such as Apple TV and wireless base stations do not even have a power button designed.
▲ With the ultra-slim frame of the new iMac, even a full-frame camera cannot focus on the frame at will!The border is blurry and can't be seen clearly.
▲ The frame of the old iMac is much more domineering!The slot-loading optical drive, which is super easily damaged, was a big failure back then.
▲ Japanese keyboard!For professional writers who are trained in blind typing, it will never be a problem.
▲ The main body of the product is concise, and the equipment is concise, so it has to be matched with a concise desktop!
The product features and detailed specifications of iMac Retina 5K will not be repeated here. You can directly refer to the introduction of Apple's official website.In fact, the overall packaging and appearance of the product, the 27-inch original model and the Retina new model are actually not much different, that is, the difference in screen resolution, which is not visible in appearance, but the internal hardware configuration and system adjustments require Apple to spend a lot of effort. Yo!

◎ Use experience
Apple’s full range of products have gradually embarked on the path of Retina. Except for the Macbook Air, which still has power problems to be solved, iMac is a slower one. At present, only iMac 27-inch has a Retina screen. After all, the operating system and application software are also You have to keep up.After a few days of use, I have two thoughts:
– High-quality experience that can’t be returned: The screen you see with your eyes is the same as the audio you hear with your ears. Once you get used to a 5K high-definition screen, turn your head and use a 20-inch screen. In comparison, you can immediately feel the original image quality decline. The experience of not going represents the new era of personal computers proclaimed by iMac 5K.
– The new way of working on the big screen: The large-screen work screen not only makes it easier to edit high-quality photos and videos, but also makes it easier to adjust the details. Even if you use textbook software, you can browse, compare and edit multiple pages, which is much more convenient. You can even watch it online. Data, while watching youtube is also very simple.
Then I tried to install the Windows dual system, and found that the two mainstream Windows operating systems, 7 and 8, will inevitably have problems. After all, they are not as good as the Apple products that have been tuned together with hardware and software.
- Windows 7: When installing the Windows 7 operating system, because the installation software itself does not natively support the USB 3.0 driver, you have to use a USB 2.0 flash drive to install; in addition, when the installation is halfway, the keyboard and mouse may not work. When installing, remember to preload the driver.
- Windows 8: The installation of the Windows 8 operating system is generally very smooth. After all, it has got rid of the CD-based installation mode and age, but after the installation is completed, there will always be many problems with the resolution, and the application often has poor resolution. Question, this point is not as good as 7. It's really getting worse as it changes.
In conclusion, is it worth buying?what!This time I bought the new iMac 27 Retina 5K in Japan. You can buy it at about the same price as the original iMac 27 in Taiwan. The price remains the same. There is an extra... Retina screen. Of course it is worth it!
However, if you swipe your card for shopping overseas, there is no such thing as zero interest in installments, and there is no discount such as free anniversaries, so you have to be prepared for silver bullets.
