It was about a year ago when I got fed up with my Window's PC, and gave it away. I was fed up with the viruses, trojans etc and the thing crashing all the time - fed up with troubleshooting/uninstalling and reinstalling software.. What a waste of time.
I was a subscriber of a few podcasts, many people on the podcasts were praising the Mac for its ease of use, lack of viruses and an 'overall enjoyment' amongst many other things.
I then decided to swap my PC for a Mac, and I have never looked back. The software is amazing, compliments to all the Mac developers out there. Software designed for the Mac is not only beautiful, but very easy to use - you don't have to spend hours browsing through manuals. Don't think that there is a shortage of software and don't say 'Oh, if I get a Mac then I won't be able to..... ' - because there is a lot of software around for the Mac which will do just about anything.
The iMac is a beautiful machine - what a design! The system is quick, quite and the screen has a sharp picture.... what more could you ask for? (oh - one thing - go for 1GB of RAM). The Mac comes complete with the Mac OS X operating system, as well as loads of software. iPhoto for storing and editing your photographs, iDVD and iMovie HD for creating movies and burning them to DVD and many more... you will be up and running in minutes. Just plug in the iMac and you are running.
My wife's Windows PC developed a fault a little while back - after seeing my iMac, and using it a couple of times, convinced her to go for an iMac as a replacement too - so we are a 'Mac Only' household - what a pleasure!
...The AppleiMacCore2Duo2.4 GHz - 20" TFT is a very good computer, is the graphics and sound systems are second to none, and the fast quiet fan system is no match for any sound proof desktop computer bought from the shelves.
The knew iMac has a very wide range of abilities, including running a windows system aswell as it's very own Mac oporating platform.
The easy to use tutorials and navagation system on the iMac are very good for people that are knew to the iMac computers, aswell as options to make it much more advanced, for the long term Mac users.
I rate this product 9/10, as the quality of structure and stability is very good, aswell as having no lack of brilliance for the sound and graphics, witch have now been introduced to the windows Vista....

...Duration of ownership:2 Weeks
Strengths: Sleek and beautiful design, simple and elegant operating system, wireless keyboard and mouse
Weaknesses: Power/Sleep light missing
Overall Evaluation:I have used Macs (5th one) since mid-90s and have always appreciated their design and OS strengths. Overall, this is an great computer. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box without checking the manual. Considering what is included on this iMac, it is an impressive array of features. About the only peripheral you need to add is a printer! You sure get a lot of features for the money.Price is always a concern, especially compared to PCs. With this model, they have added more "bells and whistles" and not raising the price.Apple has finally gotten its act together by redesigning the popular iMac....

Advantages: Look nice, Software is reliable, Work without any hassle Disadvantages: Twice the cost of a windows computer
...Apple have always designed nice kit but the price will keep them out of reach for most. Having had many windows computers before the mac, i was very used to the layout of windows and how to force it to work when it didnt want to. The best way i can describe a mac is that it just plain works, very little to no hassle. worth the extra money.
I purchased a mac after saving up and the first thing that you notice is how well equipped they are.
Built in items
you will not normally get any of these on a windows pc
Webcam - very good quality, you would need to spend £50 to get the same quality camera for you windows pc
Bluetooth - software built into the OSX, easily download photos, add music to your phone, you dont have to install anything
Wireless - Normally not included in a desktop computer, built into the mac...

Good Points: - before I rated the old Powerbook from Apple but not yet this little black Macbook. It is "faster", has audio in, wireless internet, a brighter screen, a better power connector and a whole range of excellent software delivered with it. The... more
Before I begin, I warn you that I have a lot to say. I will try to be succinct (as always), but there's a very good chance I'll fail. For your information, I am writing this review on my shiny new Mac! I should also warn you that I have exams starting more
This was a great computer that i used to replace a dell desktop. It runs super fast and doesnt get all the spyware and the viruses that my old computer would get. I had probably got 30 virus a year with my dell, but with this, i have only gotten three... more
