    My first Mac and there's no going back

    By geeman9000  Sep 29, 2006 | 6 out of 7 found this Apple iMac 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo review helpful

    Pros: speed, osx, ease of use, reliability

    Cons: hard drive difficult to upgrade

    I bought this imac about 2 weeks ago. Before this I was strictly a winxp user. I will never buy another microsoft product. It took me about a day to pretty well understand osx. I have never used it before. But once you understand it you realize ho...w ridiculous winxp is. I have no problems with spam, viruses, and any of that stuff. No frequent updates to deal with. Security is 1000x times better. It is much easier to set up a network. I was able to use my old printer and scanner. The imac makes also no noise. The software is adequate. I downloaded openoffice for free. The downside is you have to learn to use a lot of new programs. Some of the winxp programs are better. If you are a heavy gamer forget this machine. You can't upgrade the machine easily. Especially troubling is the difficultly with upgrading the harddrive which usually will break down. But these problems are nothing in comparison with winxp freezing up all the time and slowing down to a crawl when updating. Mac os is a unix machine where all root codes are password protected, a very difficult environment for viruses and spam. It is intrinsically better. Read more Less

    Great all in one computer

    Pros: Size fits a small room, it comes with all the basic software to get started

    Cons: does not support full syncing with smartphones

    After my iBook I decided to get an iMac. I priced out a Dell, HP, and Gateway, feature for feature and for the money it doesn't get any better than this. Plus I am running Windows XP, so it's like getting 2 computers in one. I highly recom...mend the iMac to anyone looking for a computer that will work right out of the box, and has all the basic software you need. For the tech savvy, there's XCode, Perl, Automatic Scripting, and the underlying Unix OS that can let you modify the system. Read more Less
