Review: I bought an iMac. For years I thought I would never own an Apple, but after looking for something to edit photos and videos on, there just seemed no better option. I have had no trouble to this point (five months of use) with any major operations. ...

Pros: Design, Storage, iLife, OSX.

Cons: a little pricey, but well worth it.

Review: I've had my iMac for about a year and a half. i've never had a single problem with it, ever. it's got the gorgeous design, a nice 17 inch widescreen, 2.0 ghz of power, and to top it all off, a huge 160 gig hd. well worth the 1,400 i paid for a year and a ...

Review: Update: Now that I've had more time to use this device, I'm even more impressed. I'll also talk about features available on the new iMac The first point I'd like to make is this. Why would I, an IT professional, of the "PC" generation buy a Mac? ...

Pros: its white, probably good for editing home movies.

Cons: its has all the apple related problems. seems unstable the screen is rubbish.

The Bottom Line: If you are a PC user or business and thinking of getting G5... don't. The screen is just too average and there are the usual apple problems.
