...it cost next to nothing, Apple ask for almost £100. Since owning a Mac, my day to day computing has become so much more efficient. The real credit for that comes down to OS X Leopard, the operating system which all Macs run. I'll quickly run over some of the features which I could no longer live without: Expose: Expose is an unbelievably simple, yet intuitive and incredibly useful feature. It basically spreads out all of the windows you have open ...
...the operating system world, but Apple have nailed it! It allows you to have multiple virtual desktops, or "spaces" to work in. So basically, you can have one space for say personal stuff like email, surfing the web and chatting to mates, another for business use with documents open etc. and then another which has a game playing in it... The number of spaces you create is unlimited and it can be incredibly useful for keeping things organised! You ... Read review

Advantages: compact, cute, and it is a macintosh!
Disadvantages: slow under a lot of strain, cost of upgrades(i.e. memory)

...( if you buy an apple keyboad and mouse there is an extra two on the key board one for your mouse) for most of my bits i rotate i pod most days printer and scanner when needed and my card reader is always in the back of the keyboard but you might prefer to buy an usb hub. there is one fire wire, i don't use this much, but it would be used for movies, and an ipod dock, and i think new ipods too (check this though as i am not 100%). the internal ...
...enjoy movies and music you need to buy bigger speakers, if you have 5:1 you will need a sound card too. if you buy this new you will not get keyboard mouse or monitor so will need to spend a bit of extra cash getting it up and running. the plug supplying to power has the power thing attched to it so you will need to hide this somewhere and it is all too easy to pull out of the back you the computer by accident. if you are thinking about getting ...

Advantages: Small, Well Equipped & Affordable
Disadvantages: You have to get used to a new Operating System

The most basic of the Apple Mac family, all I can say is WOW! I am a Web Developer and had to do some Mac testing, so bought the cheapest Mac Option at £399, it sat on the shelf unopened for 3 months then one day I needed it. I opened the box, and rigged it all up. To cut a long story short, I now use the Mac Mini as my main computer as it is still far superior to my £1000+ PC equivalent. To sum up the product, it is small and beautiful, yet still ... 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
