Exceptional multimedia computer

Pros: Everything works the way it's supposed to and the learning curve is shallow.
Cons: None to speak of
If you're considering buying an iMac to surf the web, you should stop reading the review right here. There's no reason to pay up for a computer if you're just going to surf the web. Here's my story...

Why choose anything else?

by gsxrpilot , Mar 13 '03
Pros: Incredibly fast processor. Compact, elegant style. Reliable.
Cons: Could use more USB and FireWire outputs.
If you are looking for a computer that is at the same time powerful and elegant, useful and reliable, then the new Apple 17” iMac is a terrific deal. I put together a comparable DELL computer through their Web site and their machine came in about...

Pros: Reliability. Reliability. Reliability. Price has recently been lowered.
Cons: Lack of documentation. Lack of good games.
It was just about a month ago that I bought my iBook and 17" iMac. I thought I would take a few minutes to give my thoughts on switching now that I have had a chance to explore many more of the things mac has to offer.

Pros: nice 17" flat screen, DVD-R, MACOS X, small, looks
Cons: Small number of Software available (expensive most of the time)

I decided to upgrade it with a better one: with better performance, flat...
