  • Fast, Beautiful, Affordable

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 6, 2006
    Pros: Looks more like sculpture than a computer
    Cons: No longer available

    Summary: Here is the final installment of my law office Mac series, the iMac G5 20” with iSight. I bought this computer over a month before my office even opened as I knew that the G5s were on the way out, and had made up my mind to save the Intel models for ... read more

  • Best Machine Apple ever made!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 3, 2006
    Pros: Runs OS-X as well as "Classic" OS9 programs.
    Cons: Not upgradeable. No longer available. Factory mouse too sensitive to mouse clicks.

    Summary: Introduction: I was running a "Blue" G3 for a long time, but it was showing it's age, and with Apple abandoning the Power PC chips, I figured that I had better upgrade now, or else I would not be able to run my "Classic" programs if that G3 ... read more

    Jan 29, 2006
    Pros: Sleek look and easy to use
    Cons: Horrific reliability and customer service

    Summary: The reliability and customer service for this machine has been horrific. My wife uses it approximately 10 minutes a day for sending emails . Despite the computer’s little usage it has been constantly malfunctioned since we purchased it and we have taken ... read more

  • Goodbye PC, Hello the rest of my iLife!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 15, 2005
    Pros: Simple and user friendly - YET TO CRASH. GRAPHIC DESIGNERS DREAM! Looks GREAT!
    Cons: Wimpy standard RAM - at least double it to 512...I went to 2GB for $179.00

    Summary: I bought my first Mac product about a year ago with a iBook G4 and followed up with this 20" iMac G5 about two months ago (October 2005). My main motivation was the constant crashing and virus / adware nightmares that paint the PC landscape these days. ... read more

  • Well thought through computer, worth its price

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 25, 2005
    Pros: Compactness, design, user friendly
    Cons: Limited expandibility, price, video players.

    Summary: 2 Sept. 2005: I bought an Apple iMac G5, 20", 2GHz, 1 GB memory, built-in Airport and bluetooth. I use it with a normal apple keyboard, a Macally wireless bluetooth mini mouse with scrollwheel and a non-Apple wireless modem/router. After years of using ... read more

  • BUY NOW or REGRET IT LATER!!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 29, 2005
    Pros: Maybe not the Holy Grail, but darned close!
    Cons: None so far! I'll let you know when I find a problem.

    Summary: I regularly use both Macs and Windows desktops at a major university. But HEY! When you add Mac OS X Tiger -- UNIX with an interface as beautiful and intelligent as Travel Channel's Samantha Brown -- to the jaw-dropping 64-bit performance of a Shelby ... read more

  • This is one Apple that's not rotten!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 19, 2005
    Pros: Great design, clear screen totally compact!
    Cons: Be careful of the LCD screen, as it can be damaged!

    Summary: I must admit that Apple and I go way back. From a IIci years ago, to my current G5 with a 20" screen! What a change, from day to night. The current G5 is a one piece configuration with everything hidden or built-in right in back of the LCD screen. ... read more

  • If you are worried about switching - DON'T BE! APPLES ARE GREAT!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 12, 2005
    Pros: Ease of use, Great Screen!, Great sound for built in speakers, excellent form factor
    Cons: None yet! Flawless and beautiful!

    Summary: So I just go my very cool iMac G5 delivered this morning. Unforunately it came right before I was heading off to work and all I could to was set it up quickly. I had about twenty minutes, and in that time I unpacked the iMac, set it up, registered, was ... read more

  • Computing made fun again

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 6, 2005
    Pros: Small Footprint, Huge Screen, Built-in Everything (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Screen, Etc..)
    Cons: Looks too good, all my other stuff looks like crap now.

    Summary: Quite simply, my iMac has turned me into a computer nerd all over again. It really does just work. Stacked spec to spec against most PC's the price really is very reasonable. I got my iMac G5 20" with built in Airport (Wi-Fi, G) and Bluetooth for $1600 ... read more

  • This is why Apple is king when it comes to hardware design!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 5, 2005
    Pros: A gorgeous machine, fast, fun to use--its a Mac!
    Cons: Dont by Rev. A--even used. There are reliability issues with it.

    Summary: I bought my 20" 2 gHz G-5 in May 2005. I waited for the Rev. B, as there were some capacitor and power supply issues with Rev. A. The wait was worth it--this is the most elegant and easy to use Mac ever. I've had Macs since the days of the Mac Plus and ... read more

  • Great Computer, Easy to Use

    Jul 3, 2005
    Pros: Great Design, Beautiful Screen, Easy to Use
    Cons: Low Upgrade Possibility, New OS lacks Software, Noisy Superdrive

    Summary: I've always had a Windows PC, and I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a Mac. After a few hours with the computer, I realized the ease of use. The display is superior to any computer monitor I've ever used, and the hardware upgrades that were ... read more

  • Great computer for the cost, very few cons.

    Pros: Size, low noise level, value, ease of use, included software, screen clarity and brightness
    Cons: Built in Speakers are not very loud, online chat support option is questionable.

    Summary: This product, the latest iMac generation from Apple from a technical specifications standpoint is great bang for the buck. The screen is beautiful, especially the 20 inch screen. The machine itself is very fast and looks great. It takes up very little ... read more

    Pros: Easy to use, great organization, powerful, and FAST!
    Cons: Requires learning new software and keyboard commands

    Summary: Switching from a PC to a Mac is a big change. Thankfully, Apple offers free online tutorials and free in-store workshops to ease the transition. The iMac G5 is the most proficient computer I have ever had. The simplicity of this machine is astounding.

  • Very disappointed

    Pros: Fast, nice options
    Cons: Screen should not go black. Bad repair service.

    Summary: I purchased this from Mac Mall. STAY AWAY from them! Their refund policy is, well, they don't have one. My two week old 17" imac's screen would just go black numerous times while in use. The apple store to bring to for repairs could not re-create

    Pros: speed, looks, innovation
    Cons: outsourced parts like DVD drive fails after warranty ends- hmmmmmmm....

    Summary: There are a lot of great features to this compact desktop including its fast, reliable CPU and easy-to-use OS. Apple is at the cutting-edge with regard to technology and style, but I've always had problems with my apple equipment and it always seems to

    Pros: Good looks and performance. Very easy to use OS with nice features.
    Cons: Extremely poor reliability and support

    Summary: For the first 6 weeks of owning my new iMac G5 I was very happy. I liked the way it looked, I liked the features of OSX 10.4 and I liked the performance. It was very quick. As a concept I give it top marks. If it had continued to perform I would give it

    Pros: Small foot print, Great looks
    Cons: Awful reliability

    Summary: I have owned over 20 different Macs & this one was the least reliable one by a country mile! Arrived unusable, RAM fault. replaced. Then Mid-plane over heated - Twice!! Finally the whole computer was replaced after 6 months of torment. At last I have a

    Pros: Style. Easy & Fun.
    Cons: Mouse. Ports in back.

    Summary: Great value. Bought the computer because of the compact size and design. Wife loved the fact that it looked good in the living area. Easy to use and will enjoy 90% of the features better than a PC. It does everything that I need to do at home and does

  • A great computer at a wonderful price!

    Aug 8, 2005
    Pros: Styling, robust operation, upgradable features, small footprint
    Cons: Customer service is a long drawn-out process (but I hear better than most.)

    Summary: Cutting-edge, sophisticated styling, unsurpassed performance, plug and play operation, what more can you ask for in a home computer. I opted for the bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse which works flawlessly. The built-in airport card is robust and an

    Pros: The best computer I've ever used. Fun and Powerful
    Cons: It wasn't free - otherwise none

    Summary: Someday there will be improvements - but it will probably just be a newer, improved version of this Mac. It is fast, quiet, GREAT looking, powerful, has EVERYTHING you need built in and installed. The new "Tiger" System came with mine and it's is
