Pros: Easy to use, DVD, 128MB RAM, larger hard drive, Fire wire Cons: Runs very hot, expensive.
I have never been one to like iMacs. The DV is a special edition of the popular computer by Apple. The DV has twice the memory (128MB) and a larger hard drive (13.0GB). Other than that the only real difference is the iMac DV only comes in Graphite...
Pros: Good price point, fast processor, generous memory and hard drive, all-in-one package for portability, and it looks cool. Cons: 56K modem incompatible with many ISPs, burger bun mouse, no floppy disk, not backward compatible with other Mac peripherals, some washed out fonts.
I hope this "computer for the rest of us" is not the one that drives what’s left of us into the PC camp. I bought an iMac DV Special Edition, perhaps with too-high expectations that it would be the leap forward in technology and ease of use...
Screaming fast, elegant, easy to set up, lots of great software -- what more could you want? A decent mouse. I'm sorry, as much as I love Macs (I’ve been using them for 15 years) and as much as I think that Apple has an outstanding record of product...
Pros: a compact machine which is good for a small desk Cons: CRT lacks the clarity of a higher level Sony Trinitron
In the late 1990s two things saved Apple, 150 million from Bill Gate$, and the iMac. The latest incarnation of the iMac is definitely a professional level machine and has been since in reached 500 MHz in speed and came with 128 MB of RAM standard. The...
Pros: Great For Advanced Programs(iMovie) Cons: Not too much Apple Software on the Market yet.
Some people may look at the new iMac and laugh. Others say it looks small and funny. But this computer is capable of running advanced programs very smoothly. The Computer comes with Apple DVD player, Adobe PageMaker, and 128mb of built in...
Pros: Faster processor, bigger hard drive, cool new mouse, new Cons: none significant
On the morning of July 19, 2000, thousands of people waited impatiently outside the Jacob Javits center in New York City. A sense of inevitability could be felt in the air as the people filed into the exhibit hall, where the master showman himself, Steve...
Pros: Quality of hardware. Ease of use. Compatibility. Capability. Bright future with OS X. Cons: Not easily upgradable, if at all. Backwards compatibility with legacy hardware.
For the money, this is a very solid, and very capable computer. It is not however, very upgradeable. Therefore, I would not recommend it for the power computer-user...If you want upgradeability, get the G4! It has infinite peripheral expansion, but...
Pros: Looks cool, space saving, quick, no repairs yet Cons: HATE the mouse, tiny keyboard
I didn't exactly purchase this computer, my boss did. My old Power Mac 6100, just wasn't cutting it anymore. Primarily, at my job, I write- using Microsoft Word. I work for a private detective bureau, and occasionally I do research on the internet. I...
Apple knows how to make a good first impression. Just opening the iMac box is an experience. Inside is a small bundle of cords and books, a mouse, a keyboard, and the iMac. Period. Plug it all in and push the button on the front. That's all there is to...
Pros: easy to use and setup. A dream machine for novices. Cons: not a good value compared to other iMac models: difficult to exhange/backup files: heat related issues : limited upgrade path
I did not purchase one of these: However, I work on them everyday, at an Apple Specialist/Service Provider. Currently I maintain Apple Certification.
The iMac SE is a good computer: it balances ease of use with cutting-edge looks and speed....
Pros: Ease of use, OS X Ready, simply a nice computing experience. Cons: Upgrade limitations, awful speakers, screen size
The iMac has become something of a revolutionary in terms of personal computing. There's no doubt that it has done a lot to reverse Apple's flagging fortunes and has brought the once ailing company back to relative health in a time when many companies...
Pros: Fast processor, lots of RAM, big hard drive, reasonable price Cons: New imac coming out, too cute
About a month ago I finally did away with my old 94mhz power mac (it was about six years old), and got an imac DV SE (Special Edition.) I am pleased with the imac overall, but I have had a few problems.
Pros: Legendary Apple design and ease-of-use, it has enough power for all but the most demanding. Cons: Some models (Summer 2000) are noisy, infamous mouse design, no quick external storage.
What kind of computer user are you? Aspiring movie director? Internet junkie? Down and dirty, get work done business person? Game player? The iMac DV/SE can satisfy all these types of people and more, and do it with flair.
Pros: Excellent computer, for an excellent price! Has everything you'll need! Cons: Mouse is small. Suggestion: replace it with an Orbit Trackball
WHO NEEDS A PC RUNNING WINDOWS, WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A MAC THAT DOES EVERYTHING???
My roommate just bought an iMac DV Special Edition and all I can say is WOW! I have and older Mac and I love it, but has apple come a long way. At first when the...
Pros: Great imaging. Easy to use. Cons: Limited graphic production
I bought this machine primarily to edit videos. I am not a professional and what I do are family videos and travel videos. I have just finished my first edit. My daughter and her son went to France last June with a school group. She came back with...
