will come faster than ever because the newest iMaccomputers are powered by the incredibly fast Intel Core 2 Duoprocessor the latest breakthrough chip that makes the
system for video chatting. You can record a video right at your desk using iMovie HD. And with Photo Booth software you can snap a picture then add fun effects before sharing it over email or saving as your buddy icon. From hard drive to stereo speakers to optical drive and more all the components of the iMac are enclosed within the widescreen flat-panel display. It's thin clean and strikingly gorgeous. The iMac lets you jump right in to the wireless world with two advanced technologies. Standard in all iMac models AirPort Extreme lets you connect to any industry-standard 802.11g-compatible wireless network. And the new Apple Remote lets you do your browsing from anywhere in the room.
Advantages: small, slim, looks cool, works and is fast! Disadvantages: Few niggles with the Intel processors and upgraded and outpriced too quickly

Even though i have never really used it, i love the remote control that is magnetically attached to the side of the monitor. A bit like an iPod Nano it controls your computer from a distance and allows you to switch between iMovie, iTunes etc.. with a click of a button...great ... ...biggest gripe however is with Apple themselves, as 3 days after i bought my iMac they upgraded the same model to a 2GHz processor and doubled the RAM to 1GB (after i had already bougt an upgrade for £40) and then cut the price by over £200!
Other great features that have been very good are built in Bluetooth, Infrared, Airport, Microphone and Webcam. These have been very usefull for transferring files from my phone, using skype to chat and use the ...
