Editorial Review:
The iMac G5 offers all-in-one elegance that's delightfully affordable. Take in the view on a widescreen flat-panel display. Proudly display the iMac G5 in any room of your house - it's lightweight enough to move from your kitchen to the den or bedroom. The 20-inch model shows more than two full pages of text and graphics side by side while the dazzling 17-inch provides the same screen area as a 19-inch CRT - with twice the brightness, sharpness and contrast. Hidden behind the display, you'll find the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, speakers, microphone and power supply. But you'll actually find that the computer just fades away as you organize music and photos, or compose tunes and edit movies with the iLife suite of integrated applications for your digital lifestyle. What's more, since the iMac is wireless-ready, you don't even have to place it near a phone jack. Simply pop in an AirPort Extreme Card (optional), hook up an AirPort Express to your DSL connection or cable modem, and you can surf the Internet wirelessly, listen to tunes in another room and print remotely.

Rating:  - The perfect computer
I'm on my second iMac. It's such a pleasure to use. In a parallel universe everyone uses one. I'd like to go there someday.
Rating: - Innovative design, its an Apple!
The best computer I have ever owned. Just read various reviews and you will know why many Windoze users switch to the Mac OS X platform. Granted Macs are not used in the business world but that didn't stop me from buying one (heck i also own an iBook G4 12"!) There is one small problem with the model I bought, it has one Stuck Pixel in green. Its on the far right corner of the screen but it still bothers me. Some say to massage it to bring it back to life some say it will come back on its own, ... Read More
Rating:  - Heat problems
I work in an office where everyone uses Macs, and I work on a G5 iMac. It's not technically mine, so I can't speak to the buying experience, but I have noticed that out of around 15 of these things that we've had in our office, three of them have fried their chips within around three months of use. That said, these machines were left on all the time and so may have suffered from the constant strain of running 24 hours a day. But computers are supposed to be able to take that--I've never before had a ... Read More
Rating:  - Do not buy- looks aren't everything
First of all, this computer dies after three months. That's just how first generation Mac products are. Don't buy first generation- it WILL die. This thing freezes literally every time I use it.
Secondly, Apple doesn't help at all. Tech support doesn't do anything for you. They refuse to honor my one year hardware warranty, and I've talked to customer service AND tech support, and all they do is try to sell you Apple care- why would I want to extend coverage for a product that they already ...

Rating: - Simple to set up and use.
I bought this for my wife who wanted her own computer. She hates dealing with the technical stuff associated with PCs and just wants to be able to sit down and use the computer. I opened the box, installed an Airport wireless network card (which took less than 5 min. start to finish)and handed it to her to set up. Within 10 minutes she had everything up and running including a printer, memory card reader and access to the internet over our existing wireless network.
