The new IMAC/EMAC is a marvel. Gone are my days of Microsoft supported computers. This is my first experience with an Apple product since we bought our kids an Apple computer over 20 years ago. They have come a long way.

The 20" monitor is about an 1 1/2" thick but contains everything that use to be...

This computer is great if you want to make or watch movies, but that's where it ends.  Without purchasing an expensive upgrade (for an already very expensive computer), you will find that there are a large number of websites and programs that are not compatible with this computer.  Some aspects of... review »

The iMac is probably the best desktop computer I have ever used.  The Mac's new operating system is so nice to use.  It takes my multimedia experience to the next level.  I have the ability to organize and view all of my pictures, music, and movies.  To make my experience even better I switched over from using Window's OS's to the Mac OS.  At first I was a little weary, but once I got the hang of using the Mac OS, I will never go back to using a PC.

If you are looking to switch to a user friendly computer this is it. It is definitely worth the extra money to get the quality it is. The set up is easy straight out of the box just like they say. It's also great not having a bulky wire mess, it's almost like having a lap top but still the luxury of having a desktop.

I have used an iMac computer several times and absolutely love them! First of all they have a very slick design and simply appear classy even before they are turned on. Once they are on I like how user friendly everything is. The doc at the bottom of the screen allows me to have one touch access to the programs that I use most often without cluttering up my desktop. Even the programs are easy to use. The multimedia programs are surprisingly easy to use. IMovie is great for making and editing videos. During student teaching, we had to make a video of ourselves teaching (mine was about an hour long)...

The iMac is something that everyone should have.  It's user-friendly, compact, and sleek and modern.  The iMac is perfect for someone that has never used a MAC before, but would like to try one.  They are reasonably priced and take up very little space.  Everything is contained in the screen, so you don't have a big bulky tower.  Also, you don't have to worry about viruses and bugs and all the junk that goes with that.  I love the freedom I have with a MAC.  Also, most of the good programs have a MAC version, so that shouldn't steer you away from getting one.  The MAC might cost more than... review »

I recently switch from Windows to Mac and my first thought is "I definitely should have done this long ago." The first thing that left me in awe was I plugged my digital camera into the USB port and the computer told me it was ready to import the images (I haven't even placed the software CD for the camera into the computer). Also, it gave me the option of deleting all the pics from my camera upon completion of upload. The software the camera came with didn't even offer that feature.

No upgrade nightmares, Macs do not need replaced as often due to easier upgrades.

Best purchase I have made...

I grew up on Macs. Since I was two, I was used to the Apple format, shortcuts, programs, and have always found it to be a very intuitive platform. I enjoy the ease of downloading programs, but I realize that sometimes the platform is not supported in this world of PCs. The Apple stores and support hotlines have always been helpful when I needed them. Being a teacher, they also give me a great software bundle when purchasing a computer, and I know that they offer incentives, such as a free iPod, for students doing the same.

It is great and fast. I really love how it is so user friendly. When i look at a mac i just see how great they really are. They have huge screens that are great for DVD playing and fast internet searching. Apple just came out with a new imac computer. They are very fast and good.

The IMac is great for a 85 year old great grandma. Easy to learn how to use it. Great for email to friends and family.Can lookup anything I want to know about. Price was good as I got a refurbished one. Would recommend it to anyone. Has all the latest technology and a joy to use.

I've just recently bought for myself this wonderful AppleiMac computer. My aspirations were, that it would definitely help me to do my work more efficiently. Boy, was I right! It helps me to do just about anything, what I'm required from my job. I type, print, store information, research different web sites, if I need some additional info. Very helpful working tool indeed. Now, couldn't do without it. Thanks, AppleiMac!!!

I am a lover of Mac computers, so I'm really enjoying my new Apple iMac. I also have a PC to use for different functions, but the PC doesn't feel quite as comfortable to me as my Apple  iMac does.

I'm also enjoying downloading, and listening to music with iTunes because it offers the best music player available.

This review is intended mainly for PC users who are new to the Mac. I'm not a huge computer person, I've always had PCs, and frankly I've always thought Macs were for hippies with ponytails. I pretty much have to use a PC for my job functions, but over the last few years I've been underwhelmed by both my home and work desktop (both dells) and my home notebook (HP). I'm fed up with the windows BS - freezing for no reason, slowing down for no reason, taking forever to shutdown/startup, constantly nagging to update virus software etc. I'm ok putting up with this for my work PC, but when it was time...

Okay, this is probably going to sound like an ad, but I really feel this way! I LOVE my iMac!! Everything is super easy to use and always works how it's supposed to. I use a PC and my Mac and I have to say, if I could, I would only use my Mac. And that brings us to the only con--there are a lot of programs that are not Mac compatible. Because PCs can be more affordable (b/c anyone can create/market a PC), more people tend to buy them hence, more programs are made for the PC. This also means more viruses are made for the PC. Which brings us back to the pros. I have yet to encounter a virus made...
