 Perfection ...at a price December 11, 2008

I had PCs for 10 years and I become used to crashes , delays , viruses etc.
In the end I decided to invest in a Imac and try a new system , are they any better ? Oh boy they are !
The looks are a given and the machine is a focal point in the study room is very simple to install , not many cables to clatter the room and to install the printer ...well just plug it in.
The data transfer from the PC was slow and I had to use a few CDs but it did not take more than 1 hour. The antivirus program , another 30 , is brilliant and I never notice when is being use and does not slow down the system.
Itunes Iphoto and Safari are much better than anything microsoft will ever produce , in fact most PC run itunes these days.
I had the mac for 5 months and it has not crashed once.
From the time a press the start up to surfing the net is less tan 20 seconds , switching it off is also very quick.
All the otehr features , picture and sound quality etc are great.
Is a an expensive computer but is worth every penny.

This machine is a doddle to use except when it comes to getting on the internet. With no advice on compatible routers anywhere on the net i have yet to connect to the internet using it and still have to resrt to using a pc. Very frustrating and no help on the apple website either!!
Worth it for it's ease of use, but wait, it has a problem August 10, 2007

I got one of these to see what they were like, to beat PC? Hell yes, it wins in that sense, but there is one problem which i feel sorry for Apple. The sofrware is rubbish, my iMac has broken down 5 times in less than a year, always had to format HDD, and it sucked, becuase i make videos and have lots of music, so it vanished...5 times, though saying this, i might have an unlucky one. So it's just a see what happens, and if you do get an iMac, get the warrant, i have it and might give it back soon, only if it dies 1 more time for apparent reason.
4 Stars for it's ease of use and lovely design, 1 taken off for the Format issue.
You'll love it, but prepare for a few frustrations if you're used to Windows May 6, 2007

Sick of PCs and all their nonsense, having had two pretty much completely fail on me in the space of three years, I decided to plump for a Mac this time. Like most people, I love the iPod and iTunes software and was already a big fan of Apple, so I took the plunge and bought the 20" Intel iMac, despite having never used one of their machines before.
I've had it for nearly two months now and I must say I love it. First and foremost, it looks fantastic, far better than any PC could ever hope to. The screen display is of very high quality and is great for watching movies or running multiple applications. The 24" screen is even better, being HD quality and more like a widescreen TV than a computer monitor. Personally, though, I didn't think it justified the extra 400 when, bigger screen aside, it's still basically the same computer. Another thing that really stands out is just how quiet the iMac is compared to any PC I have ever owned. Seriously, it runs at a whisper no matter what you are doing. And they're not lying when they say it works straight out of the box: you can have the whole thing up and running in a couple of minutes. Plug in at the mains, connect the keyboard and mouse, switch it on and you're off. Connecting wirelessly was also a breeze.
Other little things that make it a pleasure to work with: it boots up and shuts down in no time at all; it hasn't crashed or frozen once; you don't have to spend half your time downloading security updates from Windows, or spyware or virus updates - such things no longer really exist.
I would say that Apple's marketing strategy of highlighting the quality of their bundled software versus what is available on a PC is somewhat disingenuous though. Despite their claims, the iLife suite of software is really no improvement on what you can get for a PC - iPhoto is nowhere near as good as Google's Picasa, for instance (and Picasa is not available for the Mac); Mail is a pretty bog-standard email application, really nothing special; iTunes is obviously iTunes no matter what you use it on; default browser Safari is OK, but I much prefer Firefox so I soon downloaded that.
Overall, I'd say it's well worth the money. Pricey, perhaps, compared to a PC, but still good value for what you get: a great looking, stable machine that works beautifully. Another caveat though: if you've never used a Mac before, be prepared for a week or two of frustration as you get accustomed to some of the differences between Mac OS and Windows. Most famously, the lack of a right click button on the mouse for example. Or the different shortcuts. At first you will feel like you don't know how to do anything - this will pass and you'll soon adjust. It's like learning a new language, so just keep plugging away - it's worth it.

In late March I brought a brand new iMac intel core duo 2.16GHz etc. Having had macs for the last 10 years i could not wait to get the new machine out of its box. The simple plug and go always a winner with the not so great at computer people like me. Well this new one, is the hardest to set up out of the four I have owned. To simply copy a CD was a problem from the start. Eventually I had to buy the Toast software, so that i could copy and burn CD and DVD's properly. Ones that worked in other machines. A massive let down. From installing printers, scanners and even going on line required calling up people to help me through the process. Please check out the Apple support pages. You will see that others are not that overjoyed with their expensive purchase. Quicktime movies a favourite of mine, requires an upgrade so that you can make your own movies. It is only $20. But it keeps adding up. 70 for Toast, $20 for QT and so on. May be being the first Intel machines could be part of the problem. It might be better to wait a few more years so that the software clitches are removed before shelling out a grand for this machine. Big, big disappointment.
