Editorial Review:
iMac is, quite simply, an outrageously attractive, surprisingly affordable, and extraordinarily easy-to-set-up-and-use system. It comes fully loaded, but brings along none of the hassle you might associate with the word "computer". Get ready for the excitement of swift, simple Internet access - your passport to a world of information. And playing so richly detailed game, you actually feel like you are in another world. Consider the fact that iMac delivers significantly more power than you would expect from a computer at such a great price.Whether you are a first-time computer user or a highly experienced one, iMac, with its powerful, state-of-the-art features and simplicity of setup and operation, is the ideal choice. It will let you do the things you want to do with a computer, and many things you may only have dreamt about.
If you like the all-in-one design of the iMac desktop but need more power than entry-level units offer, this enhanced model may be right for you. It includes a PowerPC G3 chip running at 600 MHz, 256 MB of RAM (expandable to a gigabyte), and a 40 GB hard disk drive. That's big enough to store thousands of MP3 music files, for example--and the included CD-RW drive makes it easy to burn your own CDs. A 56K modem and 100 Mbps networking are standard. The system's integrated case design, in a translucent gray that Apple calls "graphite," houses a 15-inch monitor with 13.8-inch viewable area. The system comes with both the classic Mac OS 9 and the slick new Mac OS X installed.

Rating:  - A 600 MHz G3 still runs rings around Wintel boxes of twice the speed!
I've long been a Mac fan but I have not used them as much as I'd have liked. And Windows on Intel or AMD certainly has its place: As an IT administrator I've personally brought lots of money to Redmond when Apple's generally superior products still couldn't be justified to my university's bean counters...
But this late 2007 review is about bang for the buck on now aging hardware.
I've recently had the opportunity to set up some "charity" computers - obtained from thrift ... Read More
Rating:  - great computer - but
These Imacs are great, but they tend to overheat - and then crash or die on you. as for the way they function with 512 or 1 gig of memory and a minimum of 400Mhz - 500 or 600 is better the G3 will do everything you need. just run it a while and make sure it is not overheating - Apple did not put a fan in the units, you can put one under it, but does not seem to help - both of mine died in the same week, so I am thinking of buying a used one to use the hard drive and memory....the best thing about ...

Rating: - Macintosh Counterface
The Apple Macintosh G3 has revolutionized the way people interact with computers. The design that saved Apple, this machine features so much packed into a tiny microsystem. It is completely plug and play - Any device plugged in will automatically be detected without the use of drivers. Connecting to the internet and to networks is a snap, and professional applications are simulated only on the macintosh. Apple is rock solid UNIX, which delivers a powerful performance for any UNIX guru. Great software ... Read More
Rating: - Great Little Computer!
This is my third iMac (moved up from a G3 400mhz) and it is simply wonderful.
It does everything I ask it to and didn't even brake the bank. Mine cam equiped with a 500MHz G3, 40GB HDD, 256mb pc100 sdram, 16mb ATI Rage 128 Ultra AGP 2x, and a Combo Drive (normally this model comes with a CDRW).
I burn all my cd's, watch tons of DVDs, run Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS 10.3.x perfectly fine and play some older games (I'm not a fan of most new games, but love the older ones like Quake 1,2,3, Unreal ... Read More
Rating:  - BAD Computer
My friend showed me this computer, and I never really saw why heliked it so much. It crashed if you ran 2 or more programs and it has hardly any software. It may have virtual PC, but that crashes every time you do something useful. You may think I shouldn't be reviewing this, but I spent enough time on it to know it's a terrible computer. It has some upsides (like you don't need to type .com and the starting time is somewhat reasonable), but not enough to distract you from how terrible it is. If the monitor ... Read More
