What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: That I didn't switch years ago

"This computer is the most amazing machine I have seen. There is not one single thing I can find wrong with it. Compared to Windows Vista it is a God send. For those of you out there who are worried about gaming it runs World of Warcraft (on it's highest settings) and it runs as smooth as silk. On my old quad-core processor WOW didn't run this smooth. If you are in the market for a new computer you should get this version of the Mac. One last thing everyones says the price is the only hang up about this product and that simply isn't true because if you were buying a windows PC that even comes close to match this computer's power you would have to spend at least $2,000 maybe more. Mac's operating system is fluid and responsive and never annoying. No more kicking you out of your program to install new updates."

What's great about it: The integration of the hardware and software
What's not so great: Some features not as user friendly as Windows

"Bought this iMac for the family a few months ago primarily for multimedia purposes. We've all found it to beat our expectations in most areas. The built in webcam, mic and wireless internet are brilliant. The integrated software (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, etc.) are all great. I'd recommend this computer to anyone!"

What's not so great: more usb ports and to have a memory card reader

"I got this computer for Christmas as mostly a family gift and my sister got a macbook for college and I feel in love with mac ever since. it is very sexy has a lot of built in features and time machine is got to be by far the best back up utility I have ever seen. if you want to run windows you can buy a copy and run almost any os as a second os along with mac os x. imac's are just awsome the are much more reliable and faster then any windows based system that I have ever owned EVER. the built in webcam is very high qualitty with a lot of bundled features. mac os x is just more personal and customize able."

What's great about it: Very user friendly, easy to navigate, beautiful high-def screen, fits neatly on the desk, looks great.
What's not so great: price?

"I just switched over to Mac after being a PC user since the early 90s. Being a "Baby-Boomer", I was a little concerned about learning a whole new system. I needn't have worried a bit. The Mac is simpler to use in many ways than the PC, and I tend to over-think things. It gives me a lot of the "Duh!" factor, if you know what I mean. I use my computer for my extensive music collection, photography and creative writing as well as transcribing from home, so it gets a pretty good workout. So far I'm in love with it. It does seem a little pricy but I'm inclined to think it's worth it."

Best home computer ever 10/20/2008
By Felza from Shelton, CT

What's great about it: Reliable, great OS, nice looking
What's not so great: Hard disk

"I've had this computer for over a year now, it works great, never crashes, even though my 7 and 4 year-old kids play with it all the time.
Only issue I have is I've replaced two hard drives already, the Apple people say is just bad luck??? Luckily, I got the Apple Care plan (highly recommended), so I haven't paid a penny for repairs and with Time Machine restoring the data has been very easy.
I would give it 5 stars, except for the hard disk."

What's great about it: Awesome OS, All In One Design
What's not so great: Price, and an ATI graphics card

"OS X is an exceptional operating system, in many ways better than Windows. That said, Apple is still overcharging for hardware, and at times not using the best available hardware. Buyers should have a choice between an NVidia or ATI graphics card, and the displays should be 8 bits per color channel, not 6 bits per color channel.

Most of the built in software is nice, but once again, Apple squeezes a few extra dollars out of you: iMovie only works with imported camcorder video, not video files. So, if you want to convert your massive digital camera video files to a smaller file size, you still have to spend $30 on QuickTime Pro.

Yes, I love my Mac, but understand that these are not the perfect machines that they're advertised to be."

What's great about it: Design, user friendly, sleek look, all components made by one company.
What's not so great: None

"Apple was the first computer I learned on in grade school. It was the "Apple IIe". Then the next one was a Mac in college. I then bought a PC, for whatever reason, for my first computer. I got tired of the components failing or the computer software not working or having errors. I then read the reviews from this site. It convinced me to buy the new iMac. It was the best thing I have ever done in regards to computers. It was easy to set up. I just had to stop making it so complicated like you have to do with a PC. I will never buy anything from the PC line of computers again if I can help it. I love all the features of the iMac from the keyboard to the mouse. I love it all. It has made me enjoy getting on the computer again. I was able to load all my files and pictures to the iMac and it worked easy. This was by using only the software installed on the computer plus buying iWork '08. I was even able to import all my documents saved in Word format by using iWork '08. I will never go back to PC after experiencing the new iMac."

"Changing over from windows vista to an imac was a great experience and investment. Initially I thought Apple was expensive as opposed to a pc/laptop that was reasonable price. But with all the problems I had with Vista, the extra money was well worth it. I love the programs it came with, ilife, and its good to know a lot of them are compatible with windows programs like microsoft office, etc. I highly recommend this to everyone thats considering switching to a mac."

What's great about it: Great resolution, lot of capabilities
What's not so great: Mouse freezes upon log off

"I experienced several instances of the Mighty Mouse (wired) freezing up after logging off. The only way found to unfreeze it is to hold the on/off button down for 6 seconds (as per Apple).
I returned the first iMac I bought within the 14 day exchange period due to this problem but the second one does it too.
Not sure if I will return this one too or try a different mouse or live with it."

What's great about it: Fluidity of keyboard, screen is huge!
What's not so great: Getting used to the change from Windows to Leopard.

"I have been a DIE HARD PC DOS and Windows based girl for 20 years. Many friends had Apples throughout college and I turned my nose up at them...Well, through much trial and error and frustration with his Vista incompatibility issues for his Post-Grad degree my husband bought himself a MacBook. The more he used it the greater his boasting about HIS AWESOME MACHINE. My laptop w/ XP was on the fritz so I'd thought I'd take the Mac-guy out for a date and "use" it for a week or two then take it back!!! No such luck for me and my wallet...I kept it and know I love it just as much as my hubby does! Oh, and Boot Camp aka parallels is fantastic as it runs all the windows based ops needed! We are becoming a MacFamily!"
