I bought the iMac INtel 20 inch about nine months ago. I have had several Mac products in the past, but this one is surely the best as they always seem to improve. I like that the unit takes up very little space as everything is built right in. The CD/DVD drives are right in the monitor, as is the hard drive. The unti comes with some really interesting stuff, such as music software (which I really have no use for) and widgets (mini programs) which allow you check certain information with the touch of a button on the mouse. The best feature of Mac products is that they are very simple to use. Every program works similar and I find the best way to learn how to use a program is to just do it --- its actually much easier than reading a manual. The computer has a very quick startup. Another thing I find great is the lack of a need for anti-virus software since Macs don't seem very vulnerable. Every person I know that uses anti-virus software has trouble with it, such as slowing down the computer. The one think I find lacking in this computer is an internal modem. Apple does offer a portable usb modem, which I have just ordered. Based on many reviews I have read of these modems, I am a bit worried, but there is no other option. Macs are quite expensive. I spent about $1500 for this system. I could have gotten a fully loaded PC for less than a third of that, but obviously I think its worth the price.
