- Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i made the decision to buy the apple iMac i had already ordered a new windows computer from new egg, i canceled my order from new egg and I'm sure glad i did, it is way more stable and works perfect with my Cubase audio recording software. i searched all over the Internet and Amazon was by far the best price.
Go amazon.

- My first foray into Apple
I just bought this IMac last week because my old PC crashed. I would have bought another PC loaded up with 8 gigs ram, 1+terra hard drive, super 22" LG monitor and more, for less than I paid for this IMac if it wasn't for security concerns. The IMac monitor is subpar, there is only the one slot dvd/cd drive so you won't be able to run a mini. I do like the keyboard. But running the darn thing is a simple pleasure, and I guess that's what Mac is all about. So, three stars and the jury's still out.

- iMac 24
This was my first foray into the Mac world. After over 20 years of using PCs, I am so glad I switched. The transition was so easy. Just plug in your external devices and start working. Its super fast and the screen is huge and sharp. Now I wonder why I waited so long to switch to Mac. I'm totally sold on Macs.

- AOI and glossy, but I still bought it.
Note: This review is for the 24-inch iMac, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 500 MB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 graphics card and 4 GB of RAM (upgraded from 2 GB). I placed my review here because I do not see the exact same machine I purchased from Apple here on Amazon (and I'm not sure where in the heck they came up with some of those prices).

I've owned Macintosh computers since the first one that came out in '84 (an AIO or all-in-one). Since that time, I've shied away from AIO's and have purchased separate units or towers. I have been waiting years for that elusive xMac (reasonably priced tower), but have finally given up (I own a 22-inch Cinema Display and had no need for another display, so this was frustrating). So I closed my eyes, and against better judgment, I purchased the 24-inch iMac.

How do I like it? Even for an old Mac-head like me, I must admit that it is pretty impressive. Like most Macs, it's aesthetically pleasing and solidly built. The monitor is clear and very bright (had to turn this down) with a nice, wide viewing angle, but it is reflective (not a matt finish). In normal use, there isn't a problem (my light source is behind and to the left of my Mac), however, when working (or playing) with a very dark screen background (such as one might see in certain games -- space games for example), it can indeed be distracting. It picks up the light reflecting off my walls behind me. Now, if one looks for it, it easily stands out, but to tell you the truth, and after many months of use, it doesn't bother me like it did when I first used it. One sort of tunes it out. Of course, YMMV.

One thing I have to say that is positive about an AIO is that there doesn't need to be a rat's nest of cables under your desk. Oh, I still have a rat's nest, but that's because my G4 is still hooked up (with a lot of peripherals), not because of the iMac. In it's simplest form, all one has to do is plug in the keyboard and mouse via USB cables (unless you want wireless, which the iMac supports via bluetooth) and plug the thing in. And I did purchase the airport extreme router, but my old Mac plugs into that (so no additional cable on my iMac).

Of course I did take the stereo speakers and base box that I had plugged into my G4 and plugged it into the iMac (so it's not cable free). Let's face it, the sound from an iMac may be adequate, but it is hardly pleasing. Get a decent set of speakers and hook them up. It opens up a new world (that's the case for any computer, not just the iMac).

I'm not going into the Mac vs PC thing. It's been hashed to death for the past 24 years, and nothing new has been said for the past 23. The good thing about Intel Macs is the ability to run Windows if you so choose (either through Boot Camp or through emulation software -- VMWare Fusion or Parallels), with varying degrees of success.

What do I rate it? Well, a Mac is a Mac and it runs the OS of my choice, the Mac OS (but as I said, it can also run Windows should the need arise -- a big plus in my book). And I must say that I really, REALLY like the aluminum keyboard. That was perhaps my biggest surprise of all. It has a much better feel and I can type quite a bit faster than on a standard keyboard, and with a lot less mistakes. However, and in standard Apple fashion, this is a pretty darn expensive computer (what Mac isn't?). But the lifetime of Macs have always been outstanding (my G4, which is now about 9 years old, still runs just fine ... slow by today's standards, but fine nonetheless, plus it runs Mac OS 9/8 software -- which this iMac can't do -- as well as OS X software). Heck, I have older Macs than that, and yes, they still work (even the original Mac I bought in '84 may still work -- I had given it to my son many years ago, and he said it worked the day he boxed it up and packed it away). Anyway, the iMac has been fun to use and it's surprisingly quick and powerful, so between 1 and 10, I give this "shiny" new toy (it's hardly a toy) a solid 8 (or 4 stars).

Why not 5 stars? It's an AIO, which can make it a bit limiting, and if anything happens, the whole unit needs to be sent in. And there is always the burning question of what happens to it when it becomes obsolete or dies (yes, things can and do happen) and you have that nice, big monitor that is now totally useless? That's part and parcel of any AIO, thus the 4 stars.
