Average Rating: 
Rating:  - My best Mac ever
I just received this iMac last week, and I am in love. I was in love with Mac before, this iMac makes iMac #4 and Mac #7 for me between work, home, and lab. It replaces a PowerBook Titanium G4 that will resume life as a laptop instead of a desktop. I needed to run OS 10.4 plus Windows on the same machine, so a new computer was needed. I had the easiest time migrating from the PB G4 to the new iMac, thanks to having used an external hard drive for years. Everything migrated- passwords, software, ... Read More
Rating:  - Mixed bag...
If anyone were ever a pusher of most things Apple it would be me. I have spent several thousands of dollars in my life so far on Apple products. This is my second iMac. My first was a G5. Overall it was a good computer. Initially, I had problems with RAM that Apple installed in it that was causing it to crashed. Then a year later the hard drive crashed but that was it. This current iMac however hasn't been right since I purchased it (leased actually). Randomly it crashes. There has been no isolated incident ... Read More
Rating: - Don't Buy Unless You Like Computers That Crash
One month after switching from a PC, the hard drive or OS crashed, causing me to lose all my data when I had to reload the OS. Apple refused to send a new iMac or give a refund. And that was after a month of enduring all sorts of application crashes. The so-called easy-to-use interface is completely counterintuitive, too. So, if you like hard-to-use computers that are completely unreliable, this is the buggy hardware for you!
Rating: - Get more RAM-2 GB
I am STRONGly recommending that you get 2 GB Ram. I had 1 GB RAM, and then upgraded to 2 GB RAM, and you will not believe how fast your Mac can be until you get to 2 GB. I am very serious about this, I had the before/after comparisons, and it is astounding. If you already have 1 GB and think you're happy, get 2 GB anyway. WOWhee, what a difference.
Rating:  - I'm satisfied...
I have been a PC user forever. Vowed to never go Mac because of gaming performance and it's propietary nature-not to mention cost.
After witnessing the imac in a apple store I was impressed...so much so I bought one. Especially (one of the main reasons) since I could run windows.
I gave it only four stars because of the lack of support (in mac mode) for all kinds of things. I really, really hate Itunes and can't believe after you paid money you can only load it onto a freakin' ipod. ... Read More
