The Apple of my eye (iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz - 20")

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 TV. I love the design of the iMac; it 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...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

iMac Core 2 Due 20" TFT

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

...I have had my Imac for 5 months now. 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 stylish and gets positive comments from people whenever they come 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...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Advantages: speed, sound, generous size monitor, Leopard OS
Disadvantages: Power/Sleep light missing

...Duration of ownership:2 Weeks Strengths: Sleek and beautiful design, simple and elegant operating system, wireless keyboard and mouse Weaknesses: Power/Sleep light missing 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, it is an impressive array of features. About the only 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....

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Apple Imac 20" Core Duo Intel 2ghz

Advantages: Simply stunning both in looks and ingenuity
Disadvantages: Ability to upgrade parts - can only really change memory RAM

...I bought my Imac 4 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 also comes with the obvious thing most PC users are enraged about the lack of.....a right click mouse button! the infrared qualities also save you getting a hairy mouseball. The addition of \"front row\" similar to the windows media center is fabulous, the mac comes complete with a little mini remote which baffled me for a time wondering where to put this in a safe place...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz - 20" TFT

iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 Ghz -20 TFT

Advantages: Ease of use / great display / great sound
Disadvantages: High purchase price

...If you are looking for a home computer, that can double up as a work horse, look no further. This computer will not look out of place in any room in your home. It is clean looking and takes up very little space, compared to a desktop computer that has a separate monitor. The display is clean and crisp, and the sound is excellent. It even comes with a remote control for use with iTunes and iDVD, which magnetically sticks to the side of the iMac when not in use. With the tilt facility to enable children a clear view, it's worth mentioning that you need two hands to tilt carefully as the units small footprint could cause toppling. The iMac can come with a mighty mouse, which is a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard. These should be turned on before staring up the iMac to ensure problem free connection. These are available...

Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 13.3" - I'm a convert

Advantages: Stylish, flexible, super fast startup
Disadvantages: Pricey compared to a PC

...I got my MacBook a month ago and, despite having been a heavy PC user for the last 20+ years, I'm a convert. It's just great. I got it because of all the good stories I'd heard about them; usability, security, availabiity of applications and it's stylish looking too, not like the lumpy almost invariably black Windows laptops out there. It's not cheap at £700 you can get a lot of PC for that, but I really like my Mac, so I'm not going to linger on that side of things. The 13" screen is crystal clear, the keyboard feels nice and it doesn't take long to get used to the trackpad style mouse. It's super fast to boot up and shut down, less than 30 seconds from 'off' and probably less than 5 from 'sleep' mode. That's stunning compared to my other machines that can take anything from 5 to 20 minutes to do the same. It was initially a bit...

I MAC 20 INCH

Advantages: great for graphics
Disadvantages: need to buy extra sofwears

...Firstly This is a great pc to own, I paid £900 for this Apple I mac and this is with all the extras for exampe, 3 years protection, apple works, apple email and other features program,wireless keyboard , wireless mouse. There reason it was so cheap for me is because if you are a student you get nearly £300 discount . this a tip from me to you all , even if you take a friend or family who is a student you still get the discount. Now lets talk about the IMAC woo hoo It has a 20 inch screen but also comes in 24 inch screen too , trust me not allot diferance. the most amazing thing is the hard drive is inside the screen , so you dont have a separet bulky harddrive to store. Everything is in the screen the cd rom is on top right hand corner and its very hard to fiynd it it took me two days to figure out where to stick the CD heheh...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2 GHz - 20" TFT

iMac - Amazing

Advantages: Speed, looks, ease of use.
Disadvantages: None

...I bought my iMac as I my "PC" was due for replacement and had become unreliable. A few of my friends have iMacs and I was instantly grabbed by the design and ease of use when I sat in front of one. Some of this is due to the software that comes pre-loaded onto the iMac. I went for the 2GB version with the 2.66 Processor as the prices had just dropped. The iMac boots up lightening quick compared to my PC. In around 15 seconds I can be using the system and launching programs is really quick too. The screen is extremely clear and at 20 inch - large enough for most people to use as their home computer. I thought I would be keeping the PC to one side to use when the iMac didn't have the ability to do a certain job but I have thrown it away now as everything I need to do works. The beauty of the iMac is that it does exactly what you...
