Advantages: Good for Designers Disadvantages: Not Many
...Ok ignore that the thing looks sexy.
This is a super machine, everything that it comes with is easy to use and based around people who use technology for the 21st century.
All you have to do is pretty much turn it on and thats you set. No pc installing rubbish.
I have been using it for 4 years now to get me through my Graphics degree. It has helped me alot as all the photoshop software you put on it expects to be used with a mac. I say this as the only downful is when you get something sent to you thats meant to run on a CD-ROM for a pc so you can be let down by that.
But this is also good for those who like making music which you can through the 'Garageband' package it comes with to get you started.
It has it's own video editing suite which is helpful when putting on images from cameras to video cameras. You can make slide shows...

Advantages: Everything is in one place Disadvantages: Very heavy!
...I bought my eMac nearly a year ago now and I am really pleased with it.
I love the design, it looks really modern and the fact that everything is held within the monitor saves lots of space!
The computer comes with lots of programs already installed, such as Tony Hawks 4 and AppleWorks. All the iLife programs on OSX Panther are really simple to use and look good. I primarily bought the Mac to use for music, movies and photos and although I have put all of my music collection, photos and various movies, it has barely made a dent in the 80Gb harddrive.
The CD / DVD burning facility makes it really easy to make and burn. In fact it's almost idiot proof!
I love it and I would definately recommend this to anybody....

Advantages: Easy to use, reasonably priced Disadvantages: Bulky and the screen gets greasy marks.
...discovered is that the glass CRT screen easily picks up greasy marks which need carefully cleaning off. It is also more bulky than other applecomputers and so it is harder to fit on a desk, but there is no moniter as with all macs....

Get the power, performance and value you're looking for in an all-in-one desktop computer that's as easy to use as it is to afford. eMac comes loaded with iLife software applications that let you do fun, creative things with your pictures, music and movies in ways that make PC users eat their hearts out. And the eMac also comes with high-speed FireWire and USB ports so you can connect to digital cameras, DV camcorders, external hard disks, graphics tablets, printers and scanners - just plug and play. Need to use your Mac OS 9 software as well? The eMac lets you do that, too, running all your Mac OS 9 applications in Mac OS X Classic mode.

Advantages: Fast, fun and easy Disadvantages: Not very compatable
...It may not be as cute as the iMac, nor have the brute processing power of the G5, but the eMac offers incredible value for money.
Like the iMac, the eMac is an all-in-one design with the monitor, processor and other components all housed within a single unit. But where the iMac has a nice flat-screen monitor, the eMac makes use of an old-fashioned 17in CRT. This makes the eMac look a lot bulkier and far less stylish than the iMac. On the other hand, though, it keeps the price down to under £1,000.
Fortunately, that's the only sign of cost cutting and the rest of the machine is more than adequate. The eMac has a 1GHzG4 processor, which is roughly comparable to a Pentium 4 running at 1.8GHz. The G4 processor is also accompanied by 256Mb of memory, an 80Gb hard disk and a 32Mb ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card.
All this combined is enough...

I recently bought this iPod Shuffle for my mum as a Christmas present and I think she is going to love it. She has been saying for a while she would like a little Mp3 player so I thought this would be perfect for her. This little Mp3 player is small and... more
