Apple iMac G5 17 in. (M9249LL/A) Mac Desktop

Pros: Just one cord (for power), thanks to optional Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Cons: Can't upgrade graphics. Built-in speakers don't deliver much bass.

Review: Ease of set-up and use cannot be beat. It's quick and capable, and the superdrive is a great option. The built in software is great. 100% uptime, no downtime. Screen is quite attractive and can display significant amounts of data. Machine at work...

Pros: Sleek, clean and uncluttered, very fast and friendly

Cons: Need a mouse with a scroll wheel.

The Bottom Line: If you are tired of messing around with Windows security flaws then this machine is a must. It does cost a little more but then no Windows headaches.

Review: I just converted from a PC based world to a new iMAC G5 and I'm never going back. I won't go into all the detail already discussed in the previous 2 reviews but I will say that it is worth the extra money to go for a MAC.

I love its utter...

Pros: Reliable, fast, excellent screen and no virus problems!

Cons: None for what I purchased the machine for.

The Bottom Line: For a great machine that can handle DV video editing or even light uncompressed editing, not to mention any standard office application, the iMac G5 is a great choice.

Review: I've had my iMac G5 20" computer for well over a year now and have experienced zero downtime with the machine. In addition I've experienced only a single crash, due to an errant program, and no viruses or other problems.

Granted, this is...

Pros: Looks nice and seems to have plenty of bang for buck

Cons: Cheap and cheerful Don't buy if you rely on your computer for a living

Review: Waited two weeks for a New G5 Imac to replace my existing Powerbook. When it arrived looked beautiful and the transfer of my old software and documents went like a dream. But when I started using the machine it started crashing all the time; decided...

Pros: Powerful, beautiful and inspiring

Cons: Software, compatibility and expense

Review: I cannot fault my machine. This is my first Mac and love the OS, the potential that the machine holds and what I might do with it. I have it more than three months and don't think I have pushed it hard enough to even begin testing the capabilities...

Pros: Easy to use, great for making DVDs from home movies.

Cons: Poor service support.

Review: Bought the iMac G5 on 10-14-04 after using HP PC for 8 years. New computer to be used primarily to convert VHS to DVD. Screen went crazy 2-20-05 and died. Delivered to repair center on 2-2 and was told it would be repaired (hopefully) in 3-5 days...

Pros: Sleek, stylish, fast, gorgeous. Great apple ease of use.

Cons: video card. 256 MB of RAM makes a horrible first impression. Bluetooth not amazing.

The Bottom Line: If you like it get it. Just get more RAM, I mean it. Every iMac released has been great and a highmark of iconic product design.

Review: My 400 MHz Sawtooth G4 was nearing the end of it's life as a professional machine. It got to the point where I was procrastinating editing video projects or updating my portfolio and website. Some of this was due to it's aging specs and some was due...
