Apple iMac 24" Desktop Computer Review

The 24" iMac is a beauty of a desktop.  Its sleek design and aluminum accents make it a feast for the eyes.  However, it is one powerful system.  I originally purchased mine as a replacement for my broken PC.  I had been wanting to make the switch to Mac for quite some time.  I will never go back now.

I use the iMac for Photoshop and Graphics work mainly but it also stores my music as well. I am completely in love with this system.  The only thing I wish I could change would be to have a matte screen instead of a glossy.  I have found it difficult to correctly calibrate the monitor.  With that said, I still get glorious results as long as watch my color management.  The screen is so much brighter than a regular screen so you might need to adjust down for that.  I also added additional RAM to my system.  The dual core processors have run smoothly and efficiently.  I do wish they would have given it more USB ports.  I use a graphics tablet and several other devices.  I have to unplug my iPhone/iPod connector to use anything extra since other ports are taken.  This would be corrected with a USB add-on but I have yet to get one.

Its definitely not a Mac Pro but if you are looking for a strong, fast, budget friendly alternative, then I would definitely recommend the 24" iMac.
