Rating: Summary: All looks, no power Review: This is a very pretty system but it's under powered for the money.1. Get a G5, or don't bother getting anything. The G4 is a very out of date CPU. 2. Get 512M of RAM. You can get by on 256M, but you'll be sorry. 3. Get a 128MB video card if you ever plan on running any of the 3D games coming out this year. This system doesn't meet any of these specs so I suggest moving on to a higher-end Power Mac. If you can't afford a G5 you can buy a more powerful P4 system (with a 17" LCD) for ¼ of the cost. I prefer the G5, but if you aren't ready to spend 2-3 grand, don't bother.
Rating: Summary: Highly recommended. Review: This is the most innovative computer in it's class. Macintosh computers are very user friendly: easy to set up and use and (unlike most PCs) seldom crash or malfunction. It has an adjustable flat-panel displays with exceptionally bright, sharp images. The processor speed is really great. This new iMac is a terrific computer at a quite reasonable price. Highly recommended.
