Apple iMac (24-inch Penryn)

 

The Apple iMac maintains its place as the all-in-one PC design leader, and adds a next-gen Intel Penryn processor to its mix.

Outperforms some quad-core Windows systems. Windows- and Mac-compatible. Fully HD-capable screen. Recyclable aluminum-and-glass construction. Energy Star 4.0-certified. Minimal cables. A speedy 2GB of RAM is standard. No bloatware.

No media card slots. Mighty Mouse. Other systems are starting to catch up in design. No Blu-ray.

Though silver and black, the iMac represents "green" with Apple's take-back program, which means that Apple will help you recycle your old PC or Mac when you buy a new iMac. (This also applies when you buy other Apple computers.) The new iMac has EPEAT...

Once you go Mac, you don't want to go back

 

I could go on and on about this iMac but I am really impressed with Apple. Let me sum it up -- the future of computers should go with the way of Mac design.

Since I lived in Memphis and was a preferred customer, I was able to purchase it mid-afternoon and have it delivered to my house the next day. First off, this is the first time I've owned a Mac since 1994. I can honestly say that now is finally the...

The issues I have with a Mac are minor. Web browsing seems to be sort of a nuisance. With FireFox pages don't load all the time and require many multiple refreshes. Safari doesn't suffer from this and is actually superior than FireFox, but gradients...

Apple iMac MA878LL 24" WUXGA Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz Dual Core 1GB 320GB ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard

 

I would recommend a buy to anyone who wants little to no clutter on their desks, sleek looks, and stunning performance all in one tiny (yet big) package. And for the low review by the guy complaining that his iMac was slower than his PC, yes it is a...

Huge 24" 1920*1200 screen, core2 extreme @2.8ghz, 4GB memory (after-market upgrade), and Mac OSX Leopard running Crossover. I have not had a better store-bought computer, ever. It does all I need it to, like pic and vid editing, office work, as well as...

All is good except that it uses a mobile processor, and thus has a very expensive processor to upgrade (if you dare to open the case)

Meh

 

My wife HAD to have this for her computer. It's nice I suppose. But I find it interesting that Windows machines "Crash" while Macs "Hang".

It looks cool, the display is amzaing

Because it is an all-in-one, upgrades are severely limited. It does not network well with my XP and Linux machines. For the price, performance isn't where it should be

Don't listen to the haters

 

I am a NetBackup Administrator and a SQL Server DBA at my work. I have worked with Windows based machines for about 15-20 years now. This is by far the best computer I have ever used. This thing does not degrade in performance like windows machines. I...

Very Fast, Super reliable, easy to use, very powerful. This machine is hands down the best computer I have ever owned. This is not coming from an email checker/web browser. I am a power user, I put this thing to work and it has never disappointed me. I...

Nothing absolutely nothing at all. Not for gaming get a MAC Pro if thats what you want it for

Best "WOW" Computer purchase since 88

 

I'm not a big gamer. When I want to play a game I use a console game. There are a lot of games for the Mac and two virtualization products that support major PC games on the mac. I used VM Ware to virtualize my XP Shuttle Box image. Copied the 15G...

So in 88 I got an IBM PS/2. For you 'teenagers' out there they were the first Intel PC boxes to include VGA and 1.4MB floppies. Since then I've used OS/2, BeOS, Unix, Linux and all Windows flavors. This OSX has an industrial BSD Unix kernel with a...

OS X has a few quirks. This is a 1.0 release of this OS. Ironically MS has lowered the bar to such a level for 1.0 releases I'm still giving Apple 5 stars ; The worst I've had happen to date ; Safari hangs every now and then. No blue screen and it was...

Love this thing!!

 

I have a high-end Windows PC, as does my wife, but we find ourselves fighting to get on the iMac!! This OS is really incredibly intuitive. I can do everything on this that I used to do with my Vista machine. I've never been a Mac fan, mostly because I...

I've been using nothing but Windows OS' since the days of Windows 3.1 all the way to Vista. I have to say that this iMac coupled with the Leopard OSX is the best computing experience I've ever had. The screen is huge and beautiful, the keyboard looks,...

Found a bug in my first week, which Apple says it's working on fixing with a Software Update. If you have multiple users and one or more accounts is locked down with parental controls (which, by the way is better than Windows' parental controls), and...

Poor

 

achieved roughly 49% of what my pc did and my pc is not that much higher in specs well 4 gigs of ddr2 1000 ram but everything else is near the same.

none

I listened to my idiotic friend who claimed that even with lower specs then my windows machine that this would outperform it, it did not it sucked horribly so very horribly

Great Desktop

 

The iMac is great for whom it is aimed at- families and those with large libraries of media. The gorgeous 24" glossy screen is vivid and presents movies and photos in ultra high quality. Those looking at editing video however should look at Apples' Mac...

Apple has a winner here. Sure, Dell and Gateway have their much vaunted all-in-ones, but Apple wins with performance, software, aesthetics and service. Great quality screen, awesome processor (with FULL cache, not the crippled 2MB versions others use)....

One 1GB stick does suck but on the positive side- it is a single stick, giving more upgrade room. I would have love to see a larger HD than 320GB, especially at this price. The graphics are a step up from what Apple typically includes for iMacs...

Dare I Say - Great Value?

 

In addition to running the most advanced operating system in the world the 24" iMac features hardware components that would cost much more to assemble individually ; With the exception of the hard drive, all of the iMac's components are actually...

This computer still ships with Tiger? Surely there is some sort of Leopard upgrade available
