Apple iMac (4th Gen.) review: Apple iMac (4th Gen.)

 

Apple iMac (4th Gen.)

Industry-leading design; big, beautiful display; excellent application performance.

Higher-end model features same midrange graphics card of lower-end models; free phone support ends after 90 days; might want to hold off another month until ; is released to save yourself the cost of an OS upgrade.

With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 percent more screen area and a modest performance boost. The iMac competes with the PC desktop market now better than perhaps any previous Mac to date, but...

Apple iMac (4th Gen.) review

 

The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favorably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. The...

Apple iMac (4th gen)

 

It's skinny, hewn from aluminium and looks like a desktop iPhone. But does the latest iMac offer more than meets the eye?

Stunning design. Packed with power

Limited upgradability. No TV tuner

Consumer review (newegg.com)

The IMac is amazing!

 

I'm probably going to buy another one, for my wife. -I wish they would come out with a 30" or bigger screen, so I could replace my TV. -If you absolutely need to have Windows, you can install windows on the Imac as well as OSX, which has proven to be...

It's the coolest computer I've ever owned, and I've always been a PC user. I switched because of work (motion graphics designer) and have been completely satisfied with my purchase ; Jubliant is another word I would use. There are so many cool features...

The recent price drop means I could have purchased two for the price of my Imac plus all the upgrades

Improvement over Windows

 

I'm about to upgrade to 4GB of RAM because the 1GB just doesn't quite do it for me. I'm also buying the Elgato TV tuner hybrid so I can watch TV on my Mac. Finally, I use the Logitech z-2300 2.1 sound system with this computer to listen to my tunes....

High quality computer with a high quality operating system. The aluminum case makes this computer look awesome. Works out of the box and won't get slow over time like Windows. I went from Windows to Mac and I'll never go back

This isn't really a con, but Airbornedivo said that the remote wouldn't stick to the computer. This is because Apple took out that feature on the Aluminum models. Just thought I'd clear this up

Better than Windows

 

I love Apple computers, but I am alos a gamer and I must say ATI SUCKS! I would have liked an nVidia in this machine, but I am just using OS X on this. In my 7 years of using Windows, I must say, this is better than Windows. Windows is horrid. I...

Its really good but...

 

Buy this. It is a workhorse

The computer itself is awesome. I love the screen, its breath taking. The computer runs quietly and cool (I manually control fans with software), the computer is fast and it is perfect for anyone not just "everyday" users

THE KEYBOARD> EWWWWWWW. I hate the keyboard. It is atrocious. I immediately went out and bought a Saitek Eclipse II and threw the keyboard in storage. Also, Apple tech support stinks

Very Nice

 

I think I'll always be a PC guy but I would be very tempted to buy one of these, especially if I could run bootcamp on it.

I don't actually own one of these but I use it at work all day so I thought I would share my opinion. As someone who generally doesn't like apple products, I think this computer is outstanding. Its silent, never freezes, never gets bogged down if you...

When using google maps, the mouse wheel doesn't work so great for zooming in/out (compared to pc mouse scroll wheels). But in general the wheel is very smooth and quiet. When clicking the mouse, you really have to have your fingers separated or it will...

Great price and computer

 

Newegg can't be beat. I bought direct from apple so I could get the wireless mighty mouse with it, but Newegg has great customer service. Buy applecare sometime within the first year and shop around for a good price.

The middle ground "sweet spot" for iMac pricing. I've had this computer since it came out in August and it's been a great solid machine. I upgraded it to Leopard and 2 GB of RAM with third party RAM. Do yourself a favor and buy the RAM from Newegg. If...

If you are a freak about cracking open computers and upgrading your own components (Like a larger HDD) you might have some issues. (Not to mention voiding the warranty)

iMac is sweet

 

Don't buy RAM from apple. Get it from Newegg--it's way cheaper. I haven't used a mac for about 10 years and it's crazy how nice these are. Also, a reviewer mentioned that the apple remote doesn't stick to this imac. I don't think the remote is meant to...

Excellent design and it works right out of the box. No funky error messages or status balloons like you get with XP all the time. I can dual boot with XP for software that is PC only. Sick screen ; OSX 10.5 is so much better than windows that it makes...

The system that newegg is offering above has OSX tiger. You really should get Leopard--that's the current OS you'd get if you bought from apple. Keyboard takes some getting used to, but it looks great. Same goes for the mouse
