Amazing Machine!
This 24" Imac with the 2.8 gig core 2 duo just cannot be beat. Don't get the 20" when for only $400 or $500 more you can get all that extra screen real estate, a bigger hard drive, and faster chip. The screen is the real star here though-- just soooo beautiful and increases work capacity by allowing you to write or work on a spreadsheet while having your supporting data up next to it. The machine is whisper quiet, looks gorgeous on a desk, has all the power you could ever want, comes with the best operating system and additional software on the planet, and the giant screen lets you work efficiently and without eye strain! Leopard was meant to be run on a screen this big as it really let's you take advantage of spaces, widgets, the dock and even spotlight and finder.
I've only had this Imac for 3 days, but so far the performance is dizzying. I typically fire up my Toshiba laptop (Pentium M 1.86 w/XP Home) in the morning and go and pour a cup of coffee before I even get to my login screen. Then I login and take another minute to 3 minute trip while i wait for it to boot up. On this Imac, you push the discreetly concealed button on the back and in less than 10 seconds you are ready to go. Shutting down is the same. Opening up the apps is super fast as well. I plan on putting photoshop on it soon, and I expect it to be great with the 2 gigs of ram that comes with it, but its easy enough to upgrade to 4 if necessary.
I honestly can't imagine anyone would be less than 100% satisfied with this computer. Check out CNET's review if you don't believe me--it's pretty stellar.
Wonderful machine!
I'm very happy with my new iMac. It's fast, has a beautiful screen, and I like how it looks and operates. The glossy screen works well for me, and any reflections disappear when I power it up. I can also run the few Windows programs that I need on it if I so choose. This iMac gives me the best of both worlds, really. I've been a Windows user for many many years and started making the move to Apple about a few years ago when I bought an iPod, then a Mac laptop, and now replacing my Dell desktop with this iMac. I haven't regretted switching for a moment.
Perfect computer, controversial screen
Great computer overall (superb performance, usability, design), but glossy screen is not appropriate as for me. While bright and vivid, it has very visible reflections pretty much in any light I could get it in the store conditions. See for your own eyes, I felt tired after 10 minutes with it, photo editing is likely a nightmare.
24" 2006 generation refurbished white iMac is my choice, great matte screen, just a bit less powerful for the price of new entry-level 20". Very happy, for my tasks don't feel any lack of performance, nice bright vivid colors without reflections.
