This computer is very user friendly, and the large screen greatly enhances videos and photos. It also has a built-in feature that allows you to enlarge the print font if you so desire. I look forward to exploring its many features and learning more from the tutorials on line. The I-Tunes selection is something I particularly enjoy accessing. from Amazon.com I took the plunge and bought and iMac 3,06 Ghz 24" with 4 MB ram and 1 TB hard drive. I opted for the wireless mouse as it gives you some freedom of movement but stayed with the normal plug in keyboard as it plugs in under the unit. from Amazon.com I was skeptical about the glossy screen for photo editing, but it is no problem at all. I love the amazing sharpness and large screen for looking at and working with my photos. The glare is not as much a problem as I anticipated either. from Amazon.com I purchase this as a replace for an eMac (17" CRT iMac from while back) that finally had a hard drive failure after 5 years. Being so old, I decided to just replace it for him to a new iMac. from Amazon.com Apple gets one star for Poor quality control, I used to believe in Apple products not any more. I should have picked up on, but missed was the fact the power cord was not in plastic wrap, it was just rolled up and at the bottom of box. from Amazon.com This is another in a long line of iMacs I have purchased and it is again far superior to the one i upgraded from. They keep getting bigger with every new one I get and I get compliments all the time when people have the opportunity to see it in action. from Amazon.com I can't believe I waited this long to move from PC to Mac. Yes, there is a learning curve and after 1 month, I am still learning and adjusting. from Amazon.com I have always used Dell and Gateway and still currently have a Dell computer, but grew tired of my computer freezing and haveing to reboot, and grew tired of the tech support, not knowing how to fix it. I bought this computer for my son but the family does use it, (when he's not on it) to surf the net and do word processing, email etc. from Amazon.com I've been an on again-off again Mac / PC user for 20 years. This new iMac has made me a Mac convert forever. from Amazon.com With a really big 24-inch LED screen, 4GB of RAM, a 640MB hard drive, a fast Core 2 Duo Intel processor and a reduced price, this new Apple iMac is truly a bargain. Everything works as it should, quickly and silently. from Amazon.com
