5.0 out of 5 stars No need for a PC ever again, 31 Oct 2007

By	M. R. Greenhead "martingreenhead" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) (VINE VOICE)

I've had the machine for 2 months. I was looking for a new PC for my kids, although it wasn't needed in the immediate future. I walked in to an Apple store to kill some time and walked out with a 24" Imac.

My initial worry was around PC software (I still have my own PC) but if you think about it what do you need to use? If you use mainly the internet and photos/videos then this does it all better and slicker. I was able to transfer over my photos just be connecting up my existing external drive. Also if you get an imac now (I was too impatient so will need to shell out more cash) you get Leopard which includes Boot Camp, enabling to boot into Vista if you really need to.

Looks wise anyone who sees it is blown away. One person commented that the fan was noisy, however the sound came from my PC about 20 yards (and 3 walls) away! It is absolutely silent. The keyboard looks flimsy but in practice is a joy to use. Love the built in webcam. You even get a cloth to wipe the fingerprints from the screen (memo to Apple: electrify the screen to put people off of touching the sleek, gloosy finish!)

My kids love it, using the included ilife 08 software - Garageband and Photo Booth the undoubted favourites.

I love the fact that you put it to sleep, press a button a day later and it jumps in to life where you left it.

All in all a breathtaking piece of kit.

Gripes? Well, I have to say I hate the mouse, it is not too ergonomic and the right click is annoying (you have to lift your left finger first!). Also on the UK keyboard Apple have switched the " and @ signs which can be annoying too. But these are really minor annoyances.

If I had the cash my own PC would be replaced tomorrow. And buy load for every room in the house.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first mac and it is amazing., 11 Jan 2008

By	Mr. A. Banks "Fwoggie" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My first mac and I'm blown away.

Now, I've ugpraded from a 64MB gfx, 256MB DDR1 RAM, 40GB HD laptop that was struggling to run xp never mind Vista so you could argue that I'd be happy with almost any new computer. You'd be right. But I work in IT. I'm hard to impress. Adverts on TV don't do it for me. So after several months worth of research looking for a computer solution that meets my specific requirements (look after several thousand photos, over 100GB of music, possibly do video and music editing in the future and be able to do web publishing), I went for apple. This was a big step for me, I've never used let alone owned a mac, but I thought it was time to give macs a try. The question then was whether to pay �400 or so premium for a laptop, or go for the desktop. I went for the desktop.

I didn't buy mine from amazon, I got a refurb via apple's on UK website. I was suitably impressed. You couldn't tell it was a refurb apart from the slightest of smudges on the screen. That's a smudge, not a scratch. Irritatingly it came preinstalled with tiger so I had to kill about 40 minutes upgrading that to leopard. A minor irritance. Since then I've thrown on mac for os, dreamweaver, quicken and it hasn't murmered. Installing is far easier with Mac OS than Windows, response times from opening up a new program to waking up from sleep are far more impressive, even than my friends' brand new �1K home built super duper vista killing dream pc. I love it. Things just work. The Mac OS is pretty easy to get used to, most of it is (probably deliberately) the same as windows. ALT + TAB switches windows in windows, CMD + TAB (The Cmd key is in the same place as the Alt is on a standard windows user interface keyboard) does the same thing.

It comes with 5 USB slots. 3 on the back and 2 on the keyboard. Plugging in the keyboard, mouse, ipod, printer, an external 750GB Hard Drive for time bank and an external MMC card reader has used all of the usb slots and one of the two firewire slots. But I can't imagine I need any more (the speakers that come with it are highly impressive but I used the external audio headphone style slot to plug in some that I already own.

All in all I'm extremely happy. It is hard to imagine going back to Windows.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, I can't stop talking about it, 11 Dec 2007

By	A. Butcher (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've never owned a MAC before and have been a power user and builder of Windows based PC's for years but I'll NEVER look back. From the minute you open the box you know you're onto something incredible. From the detail applied to packaging, through the simple instructions to the REAL plug and play setup of the iMAC I was overwhelmed. I kept waiting for a pop-up box asking me for a decision or some drivers or telling me about conflicts, asking for a restart but it simply didn't happen.
The graphics are unbelievable, sound is more than adequate and the way it deals with multiple operations with ease exceeds any expectations I had previously formed.
With the latest OS I've been able to limit control of what my children are able to do to ensure they're safe and managed a simple transition (frankly they'll probably find it easier than me) from Windows PC's.
I don't know what I'll do with all the space on my desk, maybe invite people over to watch and enjoy instead.
Buy one...you won't regret it!
