| This is definitely one of the best desktops out there without a doubt. I love the new design, I think they really improved on that part. I have been using the Macbook for a while(pretty much since they were released) and I have to say I like the iMac way more. Apple made the right choice by putting in the 160 GB hard drive. I couldn't be happier with it, especially since I didn't pay for it! If you're wondering how I got it just go here: shurl.net/5kd I saw it on CNN, tried it, and it worked. You wont regret it one bit if you get the iMac. |

I was going to get the new aluminum imac, untill I started reading the stories on various discussion boards that the screens on them are: too reflective, and they used cheap TFT/H-IPS(?) screens that are giving many people fits-especailly Professionals-an EXTRAORDINARY number of people-I would think Apple may have to do a recall. Im not sure what to think about the near flat keyboard.
So...I went to my local BEST BUY and they had a few of all the just-discontinued Oct 2006 models left;
I chose the 17", 2.0mhz and will move up to 2 gb RAM. 1 weeks and so far no trouble;
But heres the catch-this same model was about $1450 a month ago, and I got mine at a whopping $950!
New, sealed never been opened.
With 1gb RAM it seems fast enough, but I may boost it too 1.5 or 2 gbs -and scream...
I will wait until week 51 of my owning it, then get Applecare. |

| I don't think I will use windows again and I don't hate windows at all. I just don't understand how it became a popular format to use. This was my first experience with a mac and I will never switch back to a p.c. OSX is easier and quicker to use than windows. I don't have virus problems. I don't have to buy any anti-spyware software. I feel I saved money buying a mac. It costs more to start off with a mac but if you buy one and feel you've been ripped off in anyway contact apple and you will speak with someone who speaks ENGLISH fluently. Try doing that with HP or Dell. You will need a translator to order a part for you from India. I wish you good luck. Been There Done That! The only thing I wish was more available to OSX are music downloading websites. Limewire Pro is what is available and is pretty bad especially if you have used Ares before. I have heard that pay sites are ok for mac users but I have never used them myself. When you get your mac out of the box it will do way more than your regular p.c. will from the start. It will walk you through the process of setting it up to you. One really great thing about OSX is that you can bookmark the websites you use on a regular basis. With one click you can switch from ebay to amazon in a matter of seconds. I read my mail, check amazon and ebay in less than five minutes. If you can't shake some of your windows ordeals you can by using parralels for around 80 bones and you can use windows on your mac. I did it but I hardly use it. Maybe for music and thats about it. Other than that you will have a one day ordeal figuring out the mini mouse and how OSX works. After that you will probably be very happy with your purchase. |

| Enslaved to the common people PC for well, ALL MY LIFE, it was a relief to finally get the cash to get one these super machines called a Mac. Took it out of the box, plugged it in, turned it on, and the rest is history. Very simple to setup, use and pretty much no headache about it. All that expensive virus software for PC's? Don't sweat it with this, comes with the firewall installed. Very user friendly, magnificent screen that is at times way to bright. Saves alot of space and makes a room look elegant, compared to the bulkiness of a PC. Why talk more, if your pondering about getting the low priced PC but in the long run going to cost plenty of $$$ to maintain it, go for the Mac instead. Bit of a problem at times gettings programs that usually run for PC, but in the long run, the Mac will have technology years ahead of PC's. I've had mine for about a month, and no regrets getting it. Simply brilliant. |

| After dealing with Windows-based computers for years, and dealing with security isses, crashes, updates, bloat, etc., I finally took the plunge and switched to an iMac. Even though I am still getting used to the way Apple handles some things, I am very comfortable with this machine. I agree that Apple can do a better job of providing instructional material, but most issues/questions I have had are aptly addressed with a Google search for user forums, articles, etc. I was really amazed that from the time I took it out of the box to when I was fully up and running, including internet and email, only about 15 minutes had elapsed. |
