Advantages: Simple to work. No tower.
Disadvantages: Free support only for 3 months.

...switching from Windows DO IT! Apple have a great bit of software called BootCamp (will be part of the next OSX Leopard) that allows dual booting of OSX and Windows. You can even get a virtual desktop to open Windows whithout having to boot out of OSX. I've dabbled in trying to triple boot with Linux too but yet unsuccessful. There's basic software to cover every task in OSX or the most complex if that's more your style. Almost all of your data will ...
...else is out there try Apple and Versiontracker. Theres a webcam stuck in the top of the screen even. I've not any use for that yet as most of my friends/family use old hardware but Photo Booth supplied will give you hours of laughs with your visitors. The speakers could go louder but try and work out where they are!? A subwoofer would solve my issue here. 4 months on and I'm still excited about using it. I say buy two!! ... Read review

Advantages: Screen, Webcam, amazing processer speed
Disadvantages: With mine the Wifi can sometimes be an issue

...I bought it from the Apple store in London, where I must say the customer service is amazing and the staff had an answer to all my questions! Before this Imac I had an Ibook G4 which was the best thing since sliced bread, thats what made me want one of these. The IMac is all an all in one computer, all the bits are in the screen with only the keyboard and mouse separate. This makes it great for people with not so much space. This computer is very ...
...round, the whole unit is a sort of brushed aluminum colour and my favorite bit is the small brushed aluminum keyboard, which has nice sized buttons and a nice feel to it (ie not big and chunky keys) The IMac loads up in no time, unlike a Windows machine and within less than say 30 seconds you are ready to go. The screen is Massive, bright and very clear, and the graphics can easily handle online TV and gaming, I use mine to play World of Warcraft ... Read review

Advantages: ibms past record
Disadvantages: poor choice of graphics port

I've got one of these, in fact I'm writing this review on it right now. I bought it at my local auctions 2 years ago & I'm still getting great use out of it. It looks sleek with its all black case, keyboard & mouse. It's really easy to do upgrades on as it requires no tools to open the case or remove any parts. I upgraded the dvd-rom in mine to a rewriter & it took minutes to do & was as quick to get running & burning with. It might not have a ...
...games pretty well. I've been able to play both Quake 4 & Half Life 2 at fairly decent speeds. The port to fit a graphics card is a slightly annoying issue as it's intended for a standard PCI card & I was expecting to find an AGP port but I guess thats the price you pay for buying what was only ever intended to be a business machine. On-board sound is very good, the 1gb of RAM that comes as standard is more than enough for what I use it for. It ... Read review
