Pros: great if you are familiar with mac systems Cons: you have to pay for tech support The Bottom Line: I would not recommend the iMac desktop. It is very flashy and colorful but it lacks depth and skill. from Shopping.com Pros: Great Design!! OS X is great too!! Cons: No floppy drive, slow proccesor, limited upgrade options The Bottom Line: Great machine for internet and music. If that is almost everything you need to do then i strongly suggest the iMac. from Shopping.com Compact, elegant style. Reliable. Cons: Could use more USB and FireWire outputs. The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a computer that is at the same time powerful and elegant, useful and reliable, then the new Apple 17” iMac is a terrific deal. from Shopping.com Pros: One Excellent Screen, All in One Machine, Great Speed, Excellent OS Cons: Nothing The Bottom Line: The iMac combined with the superior OS X, is a force to be reckoned with. Leaving all Windows PC's in the dust, the iMac is yet another hit by Apple. from Shopping.com Pros: Elegant, easy to use, and powerful. Cons: You'll want a new mouse. SuperDrive is slow. from Shopping.com Pros: All-in-one for all of the fun things Cons: no manual The Bottom Line: Look at the package deal you get with this iMac. It is a bargain and makes computing a pleasure. from Shopping.com Pros: Everything works the way it's supposed to and the learning curve is shallow. Cons: None to speak of The Bottom Line: You'll be hard pressed to find a Wintel PC at this price point that can perform flawlessly like the iMac. from Shopping.com Pros: Beautiful aesthetics, near-perfect operating system, decent features and somewhat expandable Cons: 256 mb stock memory, only 100mhz bus speed, GeForce 2 video card The Bottom Line: This computer will make you proud before you even turn it on. Integrated software made by Apple, strong specs, and great reliability/ease of use make the iMac king. from Shopping.com Pros: Fast, Easy, Cute, Reliable Cons: surprise..new one has 17" screen, also Don't expect Apple to reward its loyal customers The Bottom Line: Great machine for whatever you need it for, easy to upgrade, and produces high quality DVD's. What more could you ask for under $2000? from Shopping.com It's a work of art. There's nothing else like it. Cons: Cost has risen slightly since introduction The Bottom Line: Apple's pre-installed operating system and software along with it's beautiful design makes this computer a necessary component to your present and future digital needs. from Shopping.com
