...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

...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 ...

Advantages: Good for Designers
Disadvantages: Not Many

Ok ignore that the thing looks sexy. This is a super machine, everything that it comes with is easy to use and based around people who use technology for the 21st century. All you have to do is pretty much turn it on and thats you set. No pc installing rubbish. I have been using it for 4 years now to get me through my Graphics degree.

...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
