What the heck is an open-box Mac?
When PowerMax lists "open box" in the description of a Mac, it means it is a computer that has either been opened for demo, or used for a very short time but is still under warranty. Occasionally they have received Apple-authorized repairs, rendering them virtually the same as new. No matter their short history, they all qualify for AppleCare, a premier consumer technical support package and extended warranty. Note, however, that the date of expiration of the warranty and AppleCare on Open Box Macs will be based on a warranty date Apple has in their system, not necessarily (though sometimes) your invoice date. Your PowerMax sales consultant can help you investigate those questions on the particular Open Box Mac you're interested in. Since most of the Open Box Macs are virtually brand new, these are some of the best deals you can make!
The All-in-One for Everyone.
From any view, iMac is impressive. But little compares to sitting in front of the glossy widescreen display framed in amazingly slim anodized aluminum. iMac instantly turns your workspace from a cluttered desktop into a brilliant display podium.
Power on a pedestal.
iMac sets the standard for elegance and power. It packs a complete, high-performance computer into its all-in-one design. With an anodized aluminum frame and glass cover, it's striking to behold. And these materials are highly recyclable, so iMac is friendlier to the environment.
The 20- and 24-inch glossy widescreen displays make photos and movies come alive with rich color. For an even better view, you can remove the stand and mount your 24-inch iMac on a wall with the VESA Mount Adapter Kit (sold separately) and see your photos and movies practically float on its big, beautiful screen. And with the stand removed, you save even more space on your desktop.
Nothing peripheral about it.
The ultrathin, sleek, and compact Apple Keyboard perfectly complements iMac. Its anodized aluminum enclosure features low-profile keys with a crisp, responsive feel.
The keyboard includes special function keys for one-touch control of Mac features, and two USB 2.0 ports provide high-speed connectivity to your iPod, Mighty Mouse, digital camera, and other devices.
Distinguishing details.
With iMac, details make all the difference. For example, because it's made from a single sheet of aluminum, you won't see any seams or screws except for a single compartment on the bottom that provides easy access to the memory slots.
The built-in iSight camera and microphone are integrated so neatly you barely notice they're there... until you need them for a video chat.
Beauty by the inch.
Photos, movies, games, videos, and applications with palettes. Anything you see on the 20- or 24-inch glossy widescreen display will be a pixel-perfect experience.
iMac features a flat-panel LCD screen with 1680-by-1050 resolution (20-inch) or 1920-by-1200 resolution (24-inch), giving you vivid colors and breathtaking high-definition clarity. And there's nothing quite like seeing your life's events on the big screen, thanks to the new iLife '09 built into every iMac.
Greener than ever.
iMac is designed with the environment in mind. It's created with highly recyclable glass and aluminum. It's free of harmful toxins such as brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
iMac is so energy efficient, it meets ENERGY STAR 5.0 requirements and has earned the EPEAT Gold rating.
Power duo.
The latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors run at speeds starting at 2.66GHz with options up to 3.06GHz. And they include 6MB of shared L2 cache. Translation: iMac runs your applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Fast, faster, or fastest?
Every new iMac includes high-performance NVIDIA graphics standard. Now games run smoother, photos load faster, and pro applications have even more power. The 20-inch iMac with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor delivers up to 2.3x faster graphics performance.1
The 24-inch iMac gives you even more graphics options. The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor makes viewing web pages and searching through your iPhoto library smoother and more efficient. Or you can choose NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 discrete graphics to take 3D graphics up a notch. For 3D graphics-intensive games or pro applications like Aperture and Motion, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 and ATI Radeon HD 4850 processors deliver the fastest graphics performance yet.
Massive storage. More memory standard.
iMac now has up to 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 memory standard so you can run more applications simultaneously. And with a Serial ATA hard drive up to 1TB, load up on photos, videos, music, and more. That's a remarkable amount of storage for just about anything and everything.
iMac ins and outs.
Bring on your iPod, digital camera, mobile phone, and external hard drive. If it has a cable, iMac has a place for it. You'll find four USB 2.0 ports on iMac itself and two on the Apple Keyboard. Connect faster peripherals to the FireWire 800 port for even more possibilities.
Built-in freedom.
Turn your house into a Wi-Fi wonderland. High-speed 802.11n wireless technology is built into iMac. And with Time Capsule or the AirPort Express Base Station, every computer in every room can wirelessly connect to iMac, the Internet, and each other.3 Over this network, everyone can print, surf the web, and even play music from the iTunes library through your home stereo... wirelessly.
iSight camera.
Built into the top of iMac is an iSight camera. You'll hardly notice it's there until you want to launch iChat, Photo Booth, or iMovie. iSight is easy to use and highly advanced. The remarkable picture quality and color accuracy make this tiny feature huge.
SuperDrive.
iMac doesn't have a disc tray. CDs and DVDs slide right into the slot-loading SuperDrive. What makes it super? You can burn your own CDs and DVDs... including double-layer DVDs... to back up data or create your own music mixes. With the SuperDrive and iDVD, you can even burn the movies you make onto a DVD and watch them on your TV.
Environment
The new iMac embodies Apple's continuing environmental commitment. It is designed with the following features to reduce its environmental impact:
- Arsenic-free display glass
- BFR-free
- PVC-free (internal cables)
- Highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures
- Meets ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 requirements
- Rated EPEAT Gold

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
I'm VERY happy with the iMac I purchased from you, and I would definitely say this is the best support I've had. I also want to thank you for PowerMax's support of the military by shipping Apple products to APO addresses. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting another Mac from you soon!
Thank You,
Thank you very, very much! I have never used PowerMax before but I have been absolutely impressed with your professionalism and service. I really appreciate all the effort your company seems to put into customer service. I'm really looking forward to receiving the computer, and thank you once again for the follow-up service.
Thanks,
I would like to thank you for the prompt response to the drive situation. I received the drive on Wednesday afternoon, installed it on Thursday and everything went as smooth as could be. My experience with PowerMax has been a pleasant one, and I am looking forward to doing business again in the future. Once again thank you for all of your help.
Thanks,
Thank you soooooo very much for the excellent follow-up and great consistent communication. I know this is a small order than some, but you treated me as if it was a large order. Hats off to you!
