byJonAult Nov 7, 2004
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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

The iMac G5 is my third Mac computer. I suppose one of the frustrations of owning a Macintosh is that the things rarely play up (I have never had a service call on any Macintosh computer yet), and the only reason that I have ever had to update is because they get so old that they cannot take...

Pros Nothing
Cons Everything
Recommended it? No

I hate this computer, it is very hard to navigate to apps, windows is much better. Very slow, boot time is horrible. The graphics are the same. Most people who make software were smart and made it for windows. Metro, Aero, Royale, Luna, and even Classic look better than this Aqua theme. It tries to... Read full review »
