Proudly display the iMac G5 in any room of your house - its lightweight enough to move from your kitchen to the den or bedroom. Take in the view on a widescreen flat-panel display. Hidden behind the display, youll find the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, optical drive, speakers, microphone and power supply.

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 »

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

The iMac G5 is my third Mac computer.

I have recently purchased a new 21.5" iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core I3 computer. I have owned it for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love the quality of product I have received.

Pros fast, design
Cons price point
Recommended it? Yes

I love this computer because well, it's a Mac. It comes with so many cool programs that you can make videos with, record and edit audio, and just have fun.  The computers design also makes clutter a thing of the past. I love the fast that it only has one cord, with Wifi built in. The computer... Read full review »
