Shining Light

Advantages: It's great
Disadvantages: It's ugly

...opinion is slightly misleading, as Apple have recently relaunched the Emac with more powerful processors (mine is the 1.25ghz) whilst, get this, slashing the prices.

You can now own an exceptional computer that mocks the the fastest of fast PCs for a mere £550 including the dreaded VAT. Upgradeable from the easy to use Apple website, I pushed the boat out and doubled the memory to 512mb (upgradeable to 1gig), and leapt from a 40 gig ...
...to hook up online with Apple and download music for 79p a track. Apple online support is great and again makes a mockery of the clunking world of Microsoft and Windows. Browse the support using either Internet Explorer, or Macs own internet browser 'Safari' which I confess to not being overly found of. 'A little buggy' best describes it.

Whilst online, you may wish to make the most of IChat or ISight, Apples own competitors to MSN ... more

To E or not to E?

Advantages: Beautiful retro design, huge screen, never crashes!
Disadvantages: Potential build quality problems, lack of preinstalled memory

...popular demand from Mac lovers, Apple decided to make it available to the general public. If you look closely at the design, you can see how the design came about. The front is relatively featureless - although it borrows the old iMac's shape and the new eMac's colour scheme, later models now have fixed speaker grilles (to prevent theft) and a case which is seemingly inpenetrable, apart from a small slot for memory and battery replacement, cleverly ...
...ugly! A picture on the Apple site showed it as a bland white blob. "Why would anyone want one of those instead of a tangerine iMac?" I thought - and quickly dismissed it. It wasn't until I was wndering aimlessly around the Mac section of my local PC World that the eMac caught my eye - and wow, did it look different! The flat-screen 17" display was completely stunning... enormous, crisp, clear and very easy on the eye. In a weird way, an eMac sitting ...

Budget mac awesome but just one niggle

Advantages: Size, Its a mac, compatability/connectivity
Disadvantages: screen problems

...Ohh and the programs. Apple applications are AWESOME. iPhoto organizes all of your photos in chronological order in a really really easy to use program that automatically uploads and controls the content on your digital camera. iTunes IS the worlds best MP3 player, take my word for it, I've tried them all. I've got all of the music in my house (about 1600 songs) on here at the moment and it automatically synchronizes it with my iPod, which IS the ...
...you like to make music? Apple computers come with Garage Band, an awesome music making application. Im not going to go into details because it will double the size of my review but check it out here: http://www.apple.com/uk/ilife/garageband/ There is so much more to OSX than i could possibly mention so if you are interested go and have a look because it is worth it http://www.apple.com Now hardware. The processor is fast, fast enough to cope with ...

Emac - a Fruity little number!

Advantages: Looks great, works great, doesn't crash.
Disadvantages: Pretty but badly designed mouse. That's it!

...and straight forward. Using Apple computers every day for work and pleasure I never tire of their simple, well thought out design. I bought my eMac when I left my job and started up business on my own. I am a grphic designer and already had an older G3 Mac but needed something up to date but not too expensive. The eMac fitted the bill perfectly. The monitor is big and sharp enough to work with and the processor is fast enough for anything bar high ...
...to be dropped from the Apple range after the introduction of the tiny, similarly spec'ed, sans-monitor Mac Mini.The computer manufacturers continue to make faster machines but really I can't see the benefits outweighing the costs for me to upgrade. The eMac is fast enough for most professional and consumer users. So... get yourself a cheap stock clearance eMac, pop in some extra memory, ditch the mouse for a Microsoft Explorer or Logitech MX and ...

EMAC good enough for me

Advantages: totally reliable, user-friendly, attractive design
Disadvantages: not compatible with pc games and such

I spent many months researching computers on my own time with the goal of purchasing a system that would last longer than the six months that most of the PC's my friends were buying were lasting before becoming painfully bogged down by random crashes and general problems. I spoke to many different computer geeks and found that overwhelmingly the only major disadvantage for the average consumer was that because of Mac's disappearance from the market ...
...close to the volume of games offered for PC. Furthermore I was informed that a Mac would likely stay useful for much longer than the average PC of similar value and thus I was sold. I couldn't have been more happy than when I received this rig to discover that a single cord rendered my PC-ten-plug power bar unnecessary and that after plugging it in, the machine virtually set itself up. I was even more pleased to find that Mac had set all the programs ...

The Amazing Apple

Advantages: Fast, fun and easy
Disadvantages: Not very compatable

...straight onto the hard disk. Apple bundles a video editor called iMovie with the eMac, as well as a DVD recording program called iDVD, which can be used in conjunction with the SuperDrive to create your own CDs and DVDs. Other useful features include a network port and a 56K modem for dial-up internet connections. There is a cheaper version with less memory, a smaller hard disk and a CD-RW drive. This slices £200 off the price, making it worthwhile ...
