Pros G5 speed, screen size, easier upgradability.
Cons Built-in speakers could be better.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using a flat-panel iMac since the 17 inch G4 model came out 2 years ago, and was starting to get a bit frustrated with the screen size & mediocre CPU speed, so when the new G5 iMacs were announced I knew I'd be upgrading. I placed an order at the beginning of October & my new system... Read full review »

Best iMac yet

Pros Great looks, runs well, flys on the 'net.
Cons Standard memory is not enough.
Recommended it? Yes

Cons None yet
Recommended it? Yes

The 20″ screen is nothing short of beautiful in my opinion, now admittedly my 17″ pc monitor is not the best and my 17″ flat panel at work is pretty good but the colors and crispness of the iMac screen is great. I actually spent some time looking through all of the desktop pictures just to... Read full review »

Pros Price, Power, Software, Quality, Design.
Cons Batteries in bluetooth mouse and keyboard eventually need replacement.
Recommended it? Yes

I am in love with my new iMac. Really! I love it because it is solidly built, affordable, and fun.

The first indication of the quality of this machine is it's packaging, construction, and software. The packaging job apple has done is amazing. I really enjoyed opening the box. It's... Read full review »
