What is there not to like?

Written: Jan 16 '03

Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0
Ease of Use:  
Pros: Stable intuitive OS, bundled 'i' software, compact ergonomical design

Cons: Higher price (offset by higher productivity in my opinion)

The Bottom Line: If you really want to enjoy your computing experience, and you're not afraid to venture beyond the realm of Windows, consider at least test-driving one of these machines.

starkis's Full Review: Apple iMac 17 in. (M8812LL/A) Mac Desktop
I have to disagree with other reviews stating limited software availability - against the shear number of cheap programs for Windows, sure; but I've yet to find a program I need that is not available for OS X. I own a Windows PC too (Win 98, so I can't comment on XP) and there is just no comparison between the ease of use and the logical design of the Mac interface, versus the frustration I feel whenever I use the PC (which is very little). I even have the Mac networked with the PC (I think hard-core Windows users would be quite amazed to find how easy networking is on the Mac) with Windows file sharing and Internet sharing built into OS X 10.2.
