    I know when the first iMac g5 came out there was a lot of talk about the AC power problems. That the iMac's purchased in the US were only powerd at 110v.



    I am looking to buy an iMac shortly and while I live in the US I could be moving to Europe ~ has rev B of iMac replaced the stupid 110v power supply? It seems like it may have, for the Electrical and environmental requirements on apples website now say Line voltage: 100-240V AC... anyone know for sure?

    I bought my Imac in europe when it was released (I was one of the first to order one) and it works on the 110-240 V range.



    I am surprised, to learn that Apple would create a custom US I mac who only work on 110 V .

    Normally all Apple products are built to support every type of voltage.

    The current one is adaptive, from 100 to 240.



    Straight off of their website:



    Electrical and environmental requirements



    * Meets ENERGY STAR requirements

    * Line voltage: 100-240V AC

    * Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase

    * Maximum continuous power: 180W

    * Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

    * Storage temperature: -40° to 185° F (-40° to 85° C)

    * Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

    * Maximum altitude: 10,000 feet

    If the Apple web site claims 100-240V AC, it must be true. Unless you are looking at the specs of the European iMac, which always supported 100-240V AC from the start.
