Product Description

Amazon.com Product Descriptions

Unlike most desktop computer manufacturers, Apple likes to keep its lineup refreshingly simple. Even its most revolutionary computer of recent years, the iMac, exists currently in only two separate iterations. This model, the iMac Desktop 15" M9105LL/A, offers the same sleek, space-efficient design and strong esthetic appeal of its more capable sibling, the iMac Desktop 17" M8935LL/A, but with a little less power and a more friendly price point.

Driven by a powerful 800 MHz PowerPC G4 CPU and 256 MB SDRAM memory (expandable to one full GB), the iMac Desktop 15" M9105LL/A is ready to handle most any standard computer task. To ensure the machine doesn't bog down during most graphically intensive operations, Apple has included an nVidia GeForce4 MX graphics processor with 32 MB DDR video memory. Those who work primarily with complex 3D applications may want to look at this system's bigger brother, which includes, among other upgrades, a 64 MB graphics card and a 1 GHz PowerPC processor.

The iMac Desktop 15" M9105LL/A's miniature, dome-shaped housing (10.6-inch footprint) usurps very little desktop space, and its 15-inch flat-screen LCD viewing screen looks great on top of its swiveling, extendable neck. The system is equipped with an adequate 60 GB hard drive and a combination DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive through which you can backup files, burn and enjoy audio CDs, and watch the latest movies. Apple has added two ultra-high speed FireWire 400 ports for fast interaction with external devices such as video camcorders, five traditional USB 1.1 ports for peripherals such as digital cameras and joysticks, an integrated speaker, headphone jack, and built-in microphone.

Connectivity options include an integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port, a 56K modem, and wireless support (with the addition of an Apple AirPort card). An Apple Pro Mouse and Apple Pro keyboard complete the hardware picture. The iMac Desktop 15" M9105LL/A is bundled with Apple's next-generation operating system, Mac OS X v.10.2 Jaguar, and Mac OS 9.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Stylish Computer, February 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Apple iMac Desktop 15" M9105LL/A (800-MHz PowerPC G4, 256 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Drive) (Personal Computers)

The Apple iMac is a great computer that has been nothing but an easy transition from the PC world. Its design is much more than a statement it actually has a very useful application, the swiviling screen allows you to move the scren anywhere and the small footprint of the base makes putting it on a cluttered desk easy. Having only one power cord even greatly limits the amount of desk clutter that is added by the computer itself. The imac is speedy and more than capable of performing any task I give it. Mac OS X is beautiful and speedy. Everything works like a charm. Even an after market MP3 player I bought worked fine with it right out of the box.

For years I have dealt with PC's. The freezing up at inappropriate moments, the noise, how they often lag. With some nudging from my girl friend and mother who both have used Macs extensively, I looked into them, and purchased the iMac,, and I have never been so happy using a computer. It used to be a major headache just to open attachments on an e-mail, often times ending in a colorful proliferation of four letter words being bandied about. But with the iMac, the most simple things are just that simple. Sure there may be some drawbacks such as a couple of web sites have glitches when viewing, but the bottom line is that does not matter.

If you're tired of a non user friendly computer which is always crashing. A system to use at home which won't make you want to trash it, this is your answer.

For an unbelievably affordable price I have a cutiest little computer on my desk that serves my word processing and account keeping tremendously. I have confidence it would serve lots of other purposes, too, if I needest them. Questions to the seller were quickly and thoroughly answered, delivery prompt.
