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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Size, Its a mac, compatability/connectivity

...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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Bulky and the screen gets greasy marks.

...this computer comes with brilliant apple software, which is perfect for being creative. The speakers are in-built and give good quality sound. Burning CDs and DVDs is incredibly easy and to back up your CDs all you have to do is insert the disc and it will burn itself. The only problem I have discovered is that the glass CRT screen easily picks up greasy marks which need carefully cleaning off. It is also more bulky than other apple computers and ... Read review
