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 ...

Advantages: Fantastic OS, easy to use, fast and efficient, miniscule threat of viruses Disadvantages: Overpriced in terms of hardware, not as much software available compared to Windows
...in this aspect.
Pricewise, Apple are always keen to exploit the market slightly. In my case, I had a lot of money which had been lying around for a long time so I decided to put it to good use. I am not your crazy PC gamer who relies on extremely fast processors, and amazing graphics card and a huge hard drive. What this Mac delivers is enough for casual use and running large programs. Although it may be slightly over priced in terms of specs compared ...

Advantages: Reliable, fast processing, stylish, easy to use Disadvantages: Could do with a couple more USB ports
This in my opinion, has to be one of the best purchases one could ever make. Upon getting my iMac, I have and never will go back to using a PC! The iMac is so fast and efficient, and so easy to use. Graphically it makes sense, and things are ordered logically, and it is very easy to find files and folders. The 20" screen size is plenty big enough, and I have purchased a TubeStick to watch TV on my Mac. It is just like having a smaller flat screen ... ...is sleek and looks great. The thin keyboard is ultra trendy! In terms of installing and uninstalling software, I have found it to be a piece of cake. Again, everything is logical and if you don't like something, just sling it in the trash can! I have never had any problems in terms of it crashing, or not working from first boot. It is incredibly reliable and fast. I upgraded to 2GB of RAM, and I understand that the boxed product comes with 1GB, I ...

Overall Evaluation:I have used Macs (5th one) since mid-90s and have always appreciated their design and OS strengths. Overall, this is an great computer. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box without checking the manual. Considering what is included on this iMac, ... ...peripheral you need to add is a printer! You sure get a lot of features for the money.Price is always a concern, especially compared to PCs. With this model, they have added more "bells and whistles" and not raising the price.Apple has finally gotten its act together by redesigning the popular iMac. ...

Advantages: Excellent design, Amazing screen, Very powerful, Very convenient Disadvantages: Only 3 USB ports
...will no that I love apple products, and own a few of them. I got this iMac a few years back now, pretty much when it first came out, and I am still using it today, I'm writing this review on it in fact. This computer has really stood the test of time, and still plays the new games with ease. The 20" hi-res screen makes game play and movie watching a treat, everything is clear and visible. Reading internet pages is no strain on the eyes either. The ... ...is conveniently placed underneath the apple logo on the front. But there's more, above the screen there's a very small webcam, which is barely visible, but performs great. Above this (on the top of the computer) is a mic the size of a pin head, which is very powerful and comes in a great deal of use. In conclusion this is an amazing piece of kit, and I highly recommend it, the only downside is the fact that there are only 3 USB ports on it, this ...

Quick review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT
Having being used to using a Windows throughout school and uni I was abit apprehensive about using a new system, however, it's easy to use, fun and the graphics are fantastic. There is a built in webcam, and there is no big ugly hard drive box, everything is contained in the screen. There are 5 usb points and even a remote control so u can watch dvds and turn up the sound without getting out of bed! ...

Advantages: fast, good looking & reliable Disadvantages: pricey but still good value
This computer is simply magnificent! I've been pro Mac all my life, and they just seem to get better and better.
Extremely fast, with a huge screen, I find it perfect for watching my films on. You can also burn dvds with a subtle cd slot in the side. There's a great program called 'Front Row', which automatically streams all the latest movie trailers available online. It also comes with a handy little remote so you don't even have to get up off ...

Advantages: state of the art Disadvantages: cant go underwater :(
...I bought mine at the apple store in London and it was very hassle free-the shop is nice. As I am a creative person I use a mac as it is alot better for creative stuff such as music production (LOGIC music software is made exclusively for Mac and is one of the best music making softwares). Adobe photoshop is another great program, brilliant for design and artwork. Mac is not so great for videogames as it does not have every single release as a PC ... ...Generally though the Mac is a better way to go as it is a more enjoyable experience to use and you dont feel as though there is a load of code hidden behind the screen (although there is haha) where as with PC's there is often a feeling of flimseyness-and this is maybe due to Windows... ...

The Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT is a very good computer, is the graphics and sound systems are second to none, and the fast quiet fan system is no match for any sound proof desktop computer bought from the shelves.
The knew iMac has a very wide range of abilities, including running a windows system aswell as it's very own Mac oporating platform.
The easy to use tutorials and navagation system on the iMac are very good for people that ...

...in my experience, that the Apple iMac is very efficient and powerful. Embedded with the Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz which could really loads programs and some games even faster. The large memory which is embedded with a 256 MB GDDR3 SDRAM so that multi-tasking will be very possible. With enough disk space for you, a 160 GB so that you can secure and store your files without problems. The powerful features really offers me the best in terms of multimedia.
... ...HD 2400XT will offer you the best display graphics you've ever experienced. For the best audio quality, a Sound card - integrated so that you can hear audio quality very clear.
