Apple iMac Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages small, slim, looks cool, works and is fast!
Disadvantages Few niggles with the Intel processors and upgraded and outpriced too quickly

...be easier now though. My biggest gripe however is with Apple themselves, as 3 days after i bought my iMac they upgraded the same model to a 2GHz processor and doubled the RAM to 1GB (after i had already bougt an upgrade for £40) and then cut the price by over £200! Other great features that have been very good are built in Bluetooth, Infrared, Airport, Microphone and Webcam. These have been very usefull for transferring files from my phone, using skype to chat and use the webcam...even order a takeaway by talking to my computer. Overall. i still can't fault them as i have had very little problems with the computer itself and it does everything i need it to do...except let me win at online poker! If you can get one cheap second hand then all in all, still a great buy...if you can hang on and get a more up to date one, then go for that instead!... Read review

Advantages Incredible Speed
Disadvantages Very few disadvantages for the casual/light work user

...magnetic and attaches to a small patch on the side of the monitor! Pretty cool! It also has an in-built iSight camera which is both fun and useful- it works well with the provided video conferencing and 'Photo Booth' apps. If I had to find a gripe it would be this: the DVD drive is not multi-region out of the box. This can be remedied, however, through several downloadable programs. I would reccommend it to someone who needs a solid home computer- good for students and anyone who might be bringing a bit of work home now-and-again. It has the power to run Video editing software (Final Cut Pro, Avid), Photoshop, Internet access is quick and easy (no viruses to worry about!), it holds a mass of media and is speedy to boot. What's not to like?... Read review

Advantages The Speed of this IS AMAZING
Disadvantages None

...The Apple IMac is a increadible piece of equiptment, and the speed of the processor is out of this world. If anyone is in doubt of choosing either this or a windows based PC, my personal preference would be the apple for the speed and reliability and also without all of the viruses too, and not to forget the stylish design, which makes it stand out and everyone wants one. It also runs without a sound and loading and shutting down times are amazing. I used to wait 5 minutes for my PC but with this im up on the internet in no time and no matter how much space you have used up with games, songs and files. This also comes with a built in isight camera, which you can play around with.
