Apple iMac (MA200LL) Mac Desktop - with Front Row

Pros: Svelte-yet-subtle good looks, takes no desktop space, crystal-clear screen, excellent software suite, best iMac yet!

Cons: Most 3rd-party software isn't optimized for Intel Duo, no other real drawbacks.

The Bottom Line: Apple has a middleweight star with the iMac-Duo, for most families and home users this is a perfect computing solution. However, software will need a few months to catch-up.

Review: Apple 20" iMac Intel Duo Core Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1600/256MB VRAM (Add $75) Processor: 2GHz Intel Core Duo Hard Disk: 250GB Serial ATA drive Memory: 512MB 667 DDR2 SDRAM MSRP: $1699.00 ...

Pros: The display is absolutely beautiful! Blistering performance, Intel chip with Mac reliability. Value.

Cons: Mac Pro applications require upgrade. Software availability compared to PCs (without Virtual PC).

The Bottom Line: Beautiful machine, display, and performance. Great bang:buck ratio. For most users, 17" is a better value. If you run lots of PC-only software, maybe not the best option.

Review: The long-awaited iMac with Intel's Core Duo processor is here! After reviewing the 1 7-inch iMac Intel Duo Core, running the new 1.83GHz processor, I had this opportunity to review the new 20" 2.0GHz iMac, also ...

Pros: Intel processor is fast, price is fair, fun for all ages, multimedia center, Plug-n-Play peripherals

Pros: It just works - Finally a computer that does what it promised to do

Cons: I'll let you know if there ever there is one

The Bottom Line: The small additional cost in buying a Mac is far outweighed but it's reliability, ease of use, features and looks - not mention the lack of frustration

Review: If you're looking for a high tech review of the Apple iMac, look elsewhere. This review is for the layman, the person with little tech savvy but high expectations. I've been a PC user for a full 7 years, a full 7 headache filled and often frustrating ...

Pros: Beautiful, virus-free, takes little desk real-estate, and easy to use...even for a Windows user.

Cons: Not as fast as the iMac G5 yet, because Rosetta has to convert PowerPC apps.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a new home computer, and all your software you *need* to use has a Mac version, GO APPLE.

Review: This review was written on 2/25/06. Right before the Macworld show this year, I bought the iMac G5 20" computer, and I love it. I've been a long time Windows users, and still do use Windows daily, but was tired of re-installing my home Windows ...

Pros: Better performance. Able to Multi-task with WIN98 and WINXP platforms.

Cons: Not upgradeable past 2gig RAM.

The Bottom Line: If you have a lot of high-end Video or Graphics work, this machine can greatly increase productivity. Keep your WIN PC for applications the Mac cannot handle.

Pros: Fast, quite, great graphics, Seamless with IPOD

Cons: Better speakers, Thats it!!! Buy

The Bottom Line: Finally a MAC for reasonable price that has more power than any windows based machine I have owned and that is a lot.

Review: I bought a new Intel duo 20" screen and had it custom designed with 500gb drive 1gb memory. This machine is my first Mac and I can't tell you how great it is so far. I find software hard to come by write now due to companies scrambling to convert to the ...

Pros: easier to set up than a 'real' PC

Cons: Needs wired keyboard during initial setup

Review: Having recently purchased two Intel iMacs I needed to add Windows XP Professional to each, and it couldn't have been easier. A quick trip to the Apple Web site to download the BootCamp utility, and a two step installation that in many ways was easier ...

Pros: Easy Setup, Powerful enough for Pro Apps, Holds Value, Great Features

Cons: None

Review: The new dual core iMac is a true powerhouse in a tiny little package. Don't let the fact that it is all in one small almost non-existent footprint fool you, this is a power packed machine. The new iMac is quick, powerful and will do anything you ...
