...allowed me to try the Apple brand without spending too much money.
I loved the Apple product so much that after 12 months of using the Mac Mini I went out and bought an iMac 20" 2.16Ghz core 2 duo.
I love it!
My mac mini had OSX Panther installed and now I have OSX Tiger which has so many little improvements over Panther such as Dashboard - I have my calculator, google mail checker, webcam viewer and other little bits and bobs which all pop ...

...also consider buying their extended apple support package, as you can relax for three years.
A word of advice, if you are used to a PC mouse, perhaps you should stick to a two button mouse. Apple mice look good, true, but that right hand button is really useful, in my opinion! Any good brand of mice will sell wireless ones which you can plug to a USB port and be fully compatible with macs. At least don't splurge on one of those apple supermice until ...

...months ago via the online Apple site and it has never faltered. This bit of kit comes in a tidy all in one screen! No more a massive desktop clump of heavy machinery lying on the floor to keep your feet warm over those winter months.
I use my Imac for design/media purposes mostly but have just discovered that I can now connect my Xbox 360 up to my imac so i can stream movies music and pictures to it via the program connect360! fantastic! this ...

Advantages: Very fast, great screen quality, lots of storage space, loads of pre-installed software. Disadvantages: OSX takes up quite a lot of HD space!
...say how much i back apple up now with their products.
SETTING UP:
You may all know that when you buy a pc you have to install all the disks and everything that came in the box, well with the IMac i just took it out of the box, turned it on and went through the initial setup. Then in 15 mins with no disks at all all the software was up to date, no worries at all, no popups nagging you every 15 mins and NO RESTART which was brilliant. Installing ...

for the performance it can say to be better than any other platform based pc
graphic is also excellent i think most of the graphic designer would using it rather than using other platform based pc

Advantages: Everything - seriously. Just try one. Disadvantages: Sometimes struggles slightly with just 1GB RAM
I don't know where to start...
Just a really, really awesome computer.
I switched from a PC to this and i would honestly never go back.
I wish i had upgraded the RAM to 2GB and the graphics card when i bought it (it can struggle a little bit from time to time)
It really does have everything you need. The software included out the box is staggering and it is so simple and easy to use.
It caters for the needs of all users, from graphic designers, ...

Advantages: Latest Intel-chips; High Definition LCD display; Quiet - no major fan noise; Ease of Setup - unpack, plug and play; Equipped with most software. Disadvantages: None
This is my 2nd Mac I have owned and it by far is the best. Being a graphic and web designer I wanted a Mac that could handle the large memory eating programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver with ease, this can easily handle both these programs at the same time along with about 5 others without a single problem.
The best thing about Macs is the fact you take them straight out the box, plug everything you need into it and your away. No having ...

Don't buy!!! - complete rubbish - over rated - won't copy dvds simply - not even your own material...despite their claims software is not simple. Also harware very sensitive to what dvd discs it 'decides' to accept or not. (Google on this point and it comes up over and over again). Completyely undeserved claims that it suits media workers and artists....too much spent on claims not ensuring it does what it should.....never buy Apple again!!

Advantages: They're fast, protect your computer from viruses, easy to use, have lots of excellent programs. Disadvantages: You can sometimes lose work on there but that happens with all computers.
Apple mac computers are the same make as the successful selling Apple Ipods and the latest creation out soon the Iphone. The are very good computers and don't take up much room as all the hardware is stored in the back of a small screen. So there is no need to make room for a computer tower block. They are also good for security reasons as they stop any viruses form getting into your computer. All the Macintosh range is good and I would advise anyone ...

The Marmite is Pc's! Review ofApple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz - 20" TFTby

Advantages: Small, Fast and compact! Disadvantages: Hard to get used to, Lack of Microsoft, Lack of right click mouse click
Although a powerful tool, The Apple iMac lacks that certain pinash and accessibility given by Windows and other Microsoft software. Windows software can be obtained, at additional cost, and used via a emulator.
A great machine for those who professionally media, however i question its practiblity in the house hold for those who are used to the \"normal\" Windows and PC layout.
The Core 2 Duo offers great speed and processing power.

This a very professional computer, it has a very beautiful design.
It has a good speed and it is very safe.
With bright colors, the three models offer kinematic 16:10 widescreen dimensions that are perfect for watching movies. The iMac has a new monitor brilliant.
I think the price word for the content.
It came with a 250GB hard drive which is very useful, so i can put a lot of stuff in it.
I can watch my movies with a remote control.

I love the Mac.
Apple have seriously made the iMac superb.
If you take a look at some of the Tech Specs on Apple.com, you will see just how amazing the iMac is.
If you wait a while you can buy Mac OSX Leopard.
This is the new Operating System (OS) for Mac.
New Features:
> Animation System
> Time Machine
> iMail Features
and I could go on for a lot longer!
the iMac is a seriously good buy.

Advantages: Lots and lots - too many to mention. Disadvantages: A new one came out
I love my iMac. I have been a PC person all of my life, but now i am converted. The only downside is that within three months of getting it a new (very, very, very beautfil) model was launched - oh well that's the risk when you buy any technology now a days.
I love the big bright screen, the amazing graphics and the superb operating system that just rocks.
My wife uses the iMac for her photography work and the processor eats up anything she ...
