Apple iMac G5 (M9248LL/A) Mac Desktop

Pros: Footprint, speed, beautiful LCD screen, quiet as anything, good value.

Cons: One button mouse from hell.

The Bottom Line: Quality, performance, and ease of use. The closest I've ever seen a computer come to becoming an appliance.

Review: Being employed makes people do rash things. Check that, being employed, single, and without children makes people do rash things. And so it was that I was staring at the 15 inch monitor of my 7 year old PC last month, shopping around online for a new ...

Pros: power. versatility. convenience. mobility.

Cons: I personally have a problem with my optical drive.

The Bottom Line: Aside from the problem I'm having with my optical drive, this machine is the best computer I have ever used. That should say it all. 20 years of computing.

Review: Hello. Let me tell you about my new iMac G5. I received my new iMac around October 7, 2004. I waited to review this thing until I had thoroughly used it and tested it with a variety of applications. I think I'm at that point. Following are the ...

Cons: Had an issue with the Blue Tooth mouse which now appears to be corrected.

The Bottom Line: Amazing design and reliability. You could not ask for more.

Review: Let me first start by saying I am a pretty hard core PC user. I have built over 25 systems, from basic internet/word processing machines to state of the art gaming systems. I have 5 desktop PC's and 2 laptop PC's all networked in my home. My wife says ...

Pros: looks, size, 64 bit cpu (G5), reliablity, neatness, LOOKS!!!

Cons: buy more RAM, if you need it, the mouse grows on you......

The Bottom Line: wow, a peice of work right here, has me hooked to apple for the rest of my life, reccomend 0

Review: Alright so heres the deal, i was pretty sketchy about buying a mac at first. i was one of those guys who built my whole PC on line and kept staring at that check-out button at the bottom of the page. "should i do it", i was never convinced is buying a PC ...

Pros: Compact, elegant, plenty of screen landscape. Reasonably priced considering the combination of CPU, monitor, software.

Cons: No PCI slots, but with USB 2.0, Firewire 800 and a builtin monitor why bother?

The Bottom Line: If you need one machine that can do it all but won't cramp your space this is one to take seriously.

Review: Setting: I've been using the iMac G5 at home now for 6 months and have found it to be very reliable. It is an incredible space saver since the CPU is built in to the flat panel monitor. Also the keyboard slides under the monitor when not in use. ...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to set up, very fast & stable. ilife 05 (nuff said)

Cons: Not a lot of software available for macs...currently, outside that no problems from me.

Review: Coming from a p.c. environment, I was used to various annoyances from window's different operating systems, and spyware. With my iMac I have yet to see a blue screen, an unwelcome pop-up, or a malicious virus. Outside being very stable, easy to use, and ...

Pros: Works Beautifully, great look

Cons: nothing bad to say about it

Review: This is one of the best computers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They have a computer lab full of them at my college, and i have never been disappointed with their performance. If you have the chance to purchase one, i would do it in a ...

Pros: Fast Reliable (If you fix the PS) Quiet

Cons: Power Supply Issues

Review: I purchased my iMac from American TV and Appliance! Wow, big mistake! I love my iMac but the quality of service from American was pathetic! The biggest flaw of these early G5 iMacs was the power supply, a capacitor would explode and cause the motherboard ...

Pros: Nice and fast; small footprint; beautiful industrial design

Cons: can be noisy; component failures on early production models

The Bottom Line: Do NOT buy 2004/early 2005 models used/out of Applecare warranty: High chances of failure of mid-plane/power supply.

Review: There is no doubt that the iMac G5 is an excellent model, both in speed and in appearance. Price wise, buying an iMac G5 is even more economical than the purchase of a Mac Mini plus a flat screen, keyboard and mouse. This model's footprint is so ...

Pros: Great layout, little clutter, built-in speakers, free downloads from apple website.

Cons: Fan is a little loud, Explorer sometimes closes w/o warning, certain websites don't work.

The Bottom Line: It has great programs that come with the computer, and is user friendly. Prepare to get a lot of compliments on its appearance..

Review: I bought this computer after too many frustrating years of using PCs. I was tired of the "illegal operation" messages and random shut-downs. I'm in college and I had a laptop that had several issues.. the motherboard was fried, batteries were dying left ...
