Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
With a PowerPC G3 chip running at 500 MHz, 64 MB of RAM (expandable to 1,024 MB), and a 20 GB hard disk, the iMac covers all the basics admirably for a price that compares extremely well with similarly equipped desktops. Also included in this iMac is a CD-ROM drive, an ATI RAGE 128 Ultra 3D graphics card, a 56K modem, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet NIC. The system is housed in an integrated unit that includes a 15-inch display with a 13.8-inch viewable area, and comes with both the classic Mac OS 9 and the slick new Mac OS X operating systems installed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mac makes a comeback (or two)!, February 25, 2002

By	Oscar G. "og_219" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews

When I bought my first Macintosh almost 6 years ago, I thought it was the most amazing computer ever. Of course, I was in the 7th grade at the time....

When it came time to buy me another computer for college, I thought this entry-level iMac would be perfect, and I was right!

Mac OS X is incredible. Not only is it simple and aesthetically pleasing, but it's also remarkably efficient as well. Instead of a cluttered desktop, simply drag the stuff you would normally have there into the dock and presto! you have a nice clean desktop and one location for all the programs and documents you need.

Digital imaging has also never been easier. I briefly had an inexpensive digital camera, and instead of all the hassle of installing the software to just download all the images into the computer, I just plugged it into the USB port and let my Mac do the rest!

As in the past, the selection of readily-available games leaves A LOT to be desired. But most of these can be purchased online (like right here at amazon.com!) But don't expect to go to your local computer store and find aisles and aisles of games for Mac...

I've had my new iMac for about 2 months now, and I have absolutely no regrets!

5.0 out of 5 stars good machine, April 18, 2002

A Kid's Review

the iMac is a beautiful machine. Speed is not great for gaming purposes, but a solid generalist computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "First Computer" on the market, bar none., November 21, 2001

By	"mccnow" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

First Computer or not, this is the one for you. I've purchased Three iMacs for family members and my Church. (I've owned 5 Macs myself.) The iMac comes with software, games and more capabilities than many higher end models. Macs are simplier, faster and easier to use than any other computer on the market. How do I know? I work at a Major PC manufacturer in the IT department. But I use Macs at home. (I sometimes even have to use my Mac at work, just to get the "job done.") (...) Enjoy!
