Average Rating: 
Rating:  - not for professional graphic designers
I had a G4 titanium laptop then "upgraded" to the iMac because they said it was fast and would run the Adobe CS stuff better -- not. I miss my laptop. The iMac gets hung up at least half the time when it does ANYTHING, even opening a folder takes 4 seconds. Shutting down the computer if you have a bunch of stuff open takes like 10 minutes. Multiple Adobe products do not like to be open at the same time on my computer - pretty much every day one will crash if another is open.
Rating: - Marketed on Rep Not on Product
This machine has a lot of bells and whistles but they don't always work nearly as well as advertised. The biggest problem I have with it is that it freezes and has to be restarted at least once every day and often 2-3 times daily. Apple used their reputation for building superior computers to sell a product that absolutely doesn't live up to its reputation. I wouldn't mind so much but for $1350 I expected a lot more. Next time I'll buy a Dell for $400. Even though they are as problematic, I will ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointing
I bought this iMac after years of using PCs because I'd heard they now ran Windows-based applications and were more reliable than your average PC. My Mac has been very reliable but, other than that, it has been an expensive disappointment.
I loaded MS Office for Mac and tried to use Word and Powerpoint but both run significantly slower than on my PC. Powerpoint is so slow that I couldn't use it and so I have had to dust off my old PC and use it when I bring work home; kind of defeats ... Read More
Rating:  - The perfect Computer
I used to use a PC, and still have a Dell laptop but once i got the imac, i was in love, and have never looked back. Its beautiful, easy to use, and boots up really quick, and never crashes. What more can you ask for. You plug in your printer, your camera, your ipod, and it just works! Amazing!
Rating: - Great Computer
This is a great computer. Easy and fun to use and comes with everything you need right of the box. Elegant and powerful. I have using Macs for many years and it certainly a great Mac.
