Apple iMac - Core i5 2.5 GHz - Monitor : LCD 21.5" > Reviews (13)

To begin with - I think that the answer to the question is definitely yes. At this moment in time the Mac OS is far better than Windows 7 or Vista and the computers on offer are far superior.

What I am most impressed by with the iMac is it's speed. It is stunningly fast. The display is crystal clear and everything is simple as with most Apple devices. I think that it can definitely reinvigorate your desktop PC experience. For most people speed and memory are the key factors behind choosing a PC and the iMac has these in abundance with 1TB of diskspace available as well as 4GB of RAM. If switching from Windows to Mac is an issue for you I would be tempted to say that after 1 or 2 days of use you will find yourself delighted with your decision to switch.

However, there are a few issues which make it difficult to use. Depending on the screen resolution you may sometimes find yourself only using half of the screen when reading articles on the internet for example - this can ofcourse be fixed but for first time users of Mac Operating Systems can be a challenge and frustrating. I think that this is due to the sheer size of the screen itself, it can be blinding at times especially on full lighting and you should try and keep a good distance between yourself and the machine. In addition to this the buttons are located at the back - which makes it pretty to look at but less practical if you have placed it against or close to a wall.

Aside from these, it is a brilliant all round desktop PC - simple and easy to use, fast and with plenty of memory at a reasonable price. Why would you say no?
