iMac Desktop Computer

The iMac Desktop computer is visually stunning to behold, with all its elements, including the CPU, monitor, and speakers contained within one space-saving area. Yet this great outer design has some drawbacks. All USB recepticles for peripherals and speakers, as well as the power button are at the bottom rear of the unit. That provides an overall uncluttered area, but it is less convenient to access. Once the computer is powered-up the incredibly gorgeous display is startling. As a long-time Windows user I had some difficulty getting to know the Mac OS, and I bought several independent guides to help me get started, since the little manual supplied with the Mac is
practically useless.

The OS, Snow Leopard X contains many included applications (or in Windows lingo, "programs") that should fulfill many of the needs of most users, although specialists in certain areas will want to install more advanced applications. I had my Mac equipped with an app that allows for it to run
on the Windows 7 OS so that I can continue to use them along with those that I
may purchase for use with the Mac. However, I have had problems getting my
printers, scanner and external hard drives to work well, even when Mac drivers
were installed, and Mac Support, although fast, responsive, and thoroughly
professional can offer little advice for any independant programs used for running the dual operating systems. I hope that with time and experience more will be learned. The iMac has a built-in feature, Boot Camp that allows the hard drive to be partitioned on-the-fly and a full version of Windows, as well as Unix to be installed, but one can't share files between the two operating systems using this format.

Another plus for the Mac is the obvious choice of the finest built-in components available. Sadly, except for adding additional RAM, no components can be added internally, at least not by a skilled technician. PC users, however CAN add or upgrade internal hard drives, sound and video cards, mother boards, and more. Then again, the MAC's internals are so good that few may see the need for making internal changes.

Overall as I become more proficient with the Mac, both inside and out, I'm confident that I'll come to LOVE, rather than merely like this lovely computer!Read full review...

iMac Late 2009 3.06 gHz 27’ display

Excellent cpu, easy and friendly GUI. Paired with a nice size hard drive and ample RAM (12GB) these high quality built computers can last forever. This is the last iMac model with a desktop based graphics card and it shows in performance and image clarity with the LCD TFT display. All the needed ports are on the back and easily hidden for a clean desktop appearance. This year/model CPU can become a powerhouse with a few simple modifications, i.e SSD, and upgraded ram sticks (1066 MHz) from OWC.Read full review...

So Far So Great

This is my first experience with an apple. Having had Pc's for decades, it feels as if I were driving a Lexus as compared to the low end cars. The small keyboard takes a little getting used to and the mouse is perhaps not as easy to use as the better microsoft wireless ones, but it has probably redirected my future computer use.
I bought it because it just looked and felt great at one of the stores. I'm glad I did, and I'm especially pleased with the Ebay vendor with whom I dealt. He has been fantastic!!Read full review...

Amazing.

I'm very very happy with this system. It's the ultimate machine for the web developer. The speed of the quad core i5 whistles pages in an instant. The disk space is like working in an empty warehouse. Lots of room to add what you need. This is what a lot of developers need.

It's a huge machine that takes up a lot of space on a desk. If you have to live with the 21 inch, you'll be more than fine. You won't get the quad core with the 21 inch but the duo core would do just fine if you're not heavy into web development.Read full review...

27" Apple Imac

Apple really has the needs of the consumer in mind. I have been a die hard PC person for ever. This thing has changed it. Screen resolution and picture are the absolute best I have ever seen. It is rocket fast but most things are out of the box. A little bit of a learning curve but it goes very fast. Biggest downfall for it is that I had to put microsoft office for Mac on it and it caused the first "lock up". i was able to recover from it but be aware that WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER FOR MAC WILL NOT SUPPORT VIDEO OR AUDIO CHAT OR CALLS. If you what o video chat with someone look elsewhere.
I don't believe a monitor could be too big but if I did this would be too big.
If you are on the fence on this thing buy it spend the extra bucks over a PC. Make life easier we are all tired of Bills crap. Good luck.Read full review...

Even Best Buy couldn't get one in for me

I've never used a mac,,, didn't believe they were any good but my stepson changed my mind. He said they were using two for his band and they worked awesome so thought I would give it a try. It hasn't been an easy transformation from my HP Windows but I think I'm getting the hang of how simple everything is.
The display is scary it's so clear and bright and the color is incredible. Once I find my way around I know I'm going to love itRead full review...

I LOVE THE IMAC!

I just love the IMAC! I was a little apprehensive at first as it was very overwhelming, very different from a pc but as i keep learning I would never go back to a pc. I can program the IMAC to turn on at a specified time and to turn off at a specified time. I can program it to tell me what time it is on the hour or every half hour. Safari is the browser and by far surpasses Internet Explorer! I purchased it about a month ago and am still learning new things everyday. The 27 in. screen is awesome and just one wire to hook it up. It recognized my internet connection and printer as soon as I plugged it in with no disks. No anti-virus is needed. It is very quick and downloads are awesome as they are drag and drop. I can't say enough about the IMAC. All I can say is it was money well spent! Thank you Apple!Read full review...

This item is great I love it

This item was a great deal. A 27 inch iMac for 239.00 The only problem that it has, that was listed that it doesn’t have a glass and that is no problem at all. I believe this machine will be my primary driver.Read full review...
