 Another Homerun for Apple June 3, 2008
In the late part of 1999, I considered and built what I thought was the best, fastest PC I had ever seen. I spent nearly $1300 for the components and then took my time putting it all together. It was my goal, you see, to make a PC that could capture, edit and burn DVD footage. It failed miserably and I made the move to Apple.
I proudly owned and operated a desktop PowerMac G4 and was amazed and how quickly it rendered and burned a DVD (Only about 10 hours for 2 hour DVD). LOL....I know what you are thinking, but at LEAST this machine COULD do the job.
Fast forward 7 years and the ol' girl was getting to show her age. Not to mention the fact that a whole new slew of iMacs were hitting the streets, so I bought one. The white iMac (MA589LL/A) once again blew my mind! Sleek design, all the bells and whistles anyone could want and it cost about 1/2 what I paid for the G4...my trusty little friend.
A year later I still love the machine-and I am now upgrading the RAM to 3GB. This computer is flawless, FAST and reliable-three words you will NEVER hear about a PC! Way to Go, Steve Jobs...I plan to remain an Apple user for many years to come.
so far it's the best March 18, 2008

I have had the G5 before this, but this one is just great. I have everything cordless, it's just neat, simple. A few times I've had to call about the cordless mouse loosing connection, and you have to change the batteries on the keyboard and mouse after every few months, but other than that how can you not love it. I've never gotten a virus with my Mac. It's worth the few extra dollars you spend compared to IBM's. I can't say enough good things about it. Easy to use etc....
 Mighty pretty, but --- and I never thought I'd say this but - I miss my Dell February 5, 2008

I composed a long, thoughtful review detailing exactly what irritates the hell out of me about my 20" Intel Core 2 duo iMac, when Safari, in which I composed it, unexpectedly crashed (something which isn't supposed to happen if you believe the hype). It's the second time Safari has crashed this evening, and iTunes has been crashing every time the weedy superdrive has trouble reading a disk - which is far more often and any other optical drive I have ever encountered - all week.
The iMac is pretty, but there is a large element of substance over style. I don't like OSX. Windows XP is nicer, more intuitive, more flexible and more powerful. Having owned this iMac for a year, my next purchase - shortly - will be a Dell computer equipped with Vista. This one will be relegated to recording music and making pretty pictures - I'll do the hard yards on an interface I like and can trust.
And did I mention iTunes? Boy I hate iTunes.

I have owned Macs for years, and the new IMac is the best version yet. It's fast and functional, and the perfect computer for anyone who loves to surf the net, listen to music and dabble in digital photography. I love it!

What no one has stated is that this is an older model with a price that doesn't match. Go with the newer model for the same price.
