Summary: Fast, beautiful screen, quiet
Comment: I got tired of listening to my Mac mini's loud external drive. This thing is quiet, full of storage, has a beautiful screen and is overall amazing. Just amazing. Every single person who walks in to my office comes over to stare at it. They usually think it's just a "really nice monitor." Then I tell them, "No, that's the whole computer." Then they go back to their little Dell laptops and cry.

Summary: First-time Mac owner/user
Comment: This is my first Mac and I found it quite easy to transition over from a PC. Don't believe all the hype that Macs are complicated. The display is beautiful, making it easier to multi-task with browsers, apps and quicktime. The keyboard is very comfortable and sleek (i went with the wired keyboard since it has the number keys on the side, but upgraded to the wireless mighty mouse for convenience). I've had this for about a week and am a complete Apple believer now!

Summary: A Happy Return to MAC
Comment: I originally "cut my teeth" on a Mac, but migrated to the world of Mr. Gates simply because so much of the world of business uses this cumbersome and frustrating system. I even became somewhat accustomed to the incompatibilities and other annoyances that came along with the change.
Then just about a year ago, I ventured back into the wonderful, intuitive, simple world of the Mac with the purchase of a MacBook. Just a few short weeks ago I completed my return to the world of sensibility with the 24" iMac Desktop. Wow! What a beautiful machine. It works flawlessly. It is the embodiment of what personal computers should be at this point in their evolution. Perhaps I am a bit effusive in my praise, but you must consider from whence I have come...

Summary: Excellent computer
Comment: Great computer, I'm a long time PC user and bought this for my wife to use. The first thing that struck me was the simplicity in everything Apple does. The system just works, the hardware is elegant and plenty fast for now. I upgraded the RAM to 3mb and installed Windows Vista via Parallels. The system has enough horsepower to run both OS's at the same time without breaking a sweat.
As many have said before - the monitor is stunning! I have three high end Samsung LCD's on my PC setup and they don't look anywhere near as good as the monitor on the Apple.
My only concern is that the system is not upgradable - common for an iMac. Other than adding RAM what you buy now is what you will have for the rest of this machine's life. I bought the 320Gb drive but within the first two months had to add extra capacity via USB drives to hold all of the pictures and videos.
Highly recommended!
