Apple iMac (MA589LL) Mac Desktop

Pros: Great for media, beautiful design, excellent specs, browse the internet safely
Cons: Price

Until a few months ago, I had nothing but bad experiences with Mac computers. My last foray into the world of iMacs (on a majorly trashed school computer in 2002) ended with me losing a Photoshop project I had worked diligently on for 8 hours due to a ...

Pros: Compact well-equipped PC for the home user and casual gamer.
Cons: Quirky Mighty Mouse, average built-in speakers.

Twice in a single year, Apple has released Intel-based iMac computers, and with whispers of the Core Quadro chip (yep, 4 processor cores) on the wind, should you wait? If web surfing, home movie-making, photo editing and home office work are all you ...

Pros: Awesome screen, Windows Mac, rock-solid reliability, semi-portable, wireless/bluetooth
Cons: Honestly can't think of any

My Dad bought one of the first Macs in 1984 and we always had one in the house while I was growing up. In contrast, almost every school or university I've attended and every company I've worked for used PCs. Most of the time, educational institutions and ...

Pros: Doesn't run Windows (enough said)
Cons: Expensive when compared to PC

I have always loved Macs, so can't say that I am surprised to really like using this iMac - it's not a huge surprise. The OS has progressively gotten easier and easier to use. My 5 year old is even navigating through iPhoto and iTunes to see her ...

Pros: Design. Speed. Software. Built-ins. Dependability.
Cons: Price.

Apple's new iMac is simply the finest computer with which I have ever worked. First, it is simply beautiful! It is like a work of art in your office or other computer space. Secondly, it uses space better than any desktop I have ever seen. As a ...

Pros: Bright screen, good internal speakers, user-friendly operating system.
Cons: Keyboard and Mighty Mouse are difficult to use at times.

Having not used a Mac for 7 years, this iMac is a great introduction to Apple computing circa 2007.

The 20-inch screen is brilliant with lots of real estate to open multiple applications. Attractive design makes it an elegant addition to any home office or even living room. Apple OS 10.4 is easy to use and easy to learn.

With the release of Parallels and Boot Camp, a Windows can be a few keystrokes away.

The form factor is great until you get to the Apple keyboard and Mighty Mouse. Both can be difficult to use smoothly. I replaced mine shortly after purchase.

Overall, this is a great way to introduce yourself (or get re-acquainted in my case) to Apple.
