Apple iMac Indigo 15 in. (M7669LL/A) Mac Desktop

Pros: Ease of use, respectable performance, simplicity of form, great bang for the buck
Cons: Stupid, gimmicky color-flavors which diminish iMac's image to Mac loyalists

If you are the type of computer consumer who's been tooling around with boxes since slide-rule was the cutting edge, don't waste your megahertz considering the iMac a viable buying option. But if you are at the...

Pros: Actually works, unlike anything Bill Gates has breathed on recently.
Cons: Accepting Apple as my personal savior is a humbling experience

I have hated all things Apple for so long, and so very vocally, that it literally pains me to admit that I like the iMac. Okay, fine, I love the damn thing, stupid circular one-button mouse and all. I have even willingly stood silent as my...

Pros: Attractive price, great styling, powerful system
Cons: No floppy drive

Okay, I've been a "PC guy" since my parents bought me an IBM-PC in 1983. That's right, it was one of the first ones. It ran DOS 1.1, had one 360-K "double density" drive, a CGA monitor and color card, 128-K of RAM and an Epson...

Pros: Imac is Cheap, Stylish in an Apple way, and Simple to setup
Cons: Keyboard/Mouse could be better designed. Not as widespread as PC - lack of compatibility

The iMac was Apple’s brave attempt at launching a new generation of Apple machines. On many levels it has been a success, but some people might point to its introduction as being merely another nail in the Apple coffin.

Since its introduction...

Pros: looks cute, colorful, different
Cons: crappy, small keyboard; crappy hockey-puck mouse; and lots more to complain about

Re: my 1999 purchase of this toy

I have been a computer user for 20 years now. I learned basic programming on a DEC PDP-11/45 and then on a Radio Shack TRS-80, my first PC.

I had been an “Apple Only” user until 1992, when I was...

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, fun!
Cons: None!

I work in a university and in a department that uses Macintosh's for their work. We have G3's in our labs and they are great. I have been getting lots of calls from prospective students and their parents about what kind of computer they should buy.
...

Pros: easy to use, fast speed
Cons: keyboard and mouse

It was mixed marriage. I was a long-time Windows user, and my husband was a die-hard Mac fan. It made sense at the time - I was working in the business world, and he's a graphic designer - so we'd pretty much stayed in the niches society had carved out...

Pros: Looks great! oo~the colors~oo
Cons: Lack of software, and lack of upgrades, too many things to plug in.

Message to Injured MACS manufacturer : Why do you have so many frustrating consumers who went for sleazy commercials that were aimed at beginners in computers? By saying there’s only two things to plug, are you saying that people do need a...

Pros: Pretty colors, few wires
Cons: Do I need to name them all? Read review

I started using Apple computers when there was the Apple II and the Apple IIe. Remember those things? I try not to. But that was in the fifth grade for me - an impressionable age. Our schools always had Apple computers and nothing but... all the way...

Pros: attractive, compact
Cons: hard to use, small mouse, confusing

I won this computer at Varsitybooks.com a few months ago, and I was thrilled. It is the cutest thing, and the color is great. I have been a IBM user for about 8 years, and feel I am very computer literate, that is, until I tried using the iMac. It is...

Pros: Easy to set up, nice sound and inexpensive
Cons: small keyboard, "hockey-puck" mouse and poorly designed power button

First let me say that I'm quite pleased with my iMac purchase, and think it was the perfect computer for my particular needs.

I wanted to get my girlfriend her 1st computer. She had little prior computer experience, and I wanted her first one...

Pros: Visionary, consumer-oriented, extremely practical
Cons: Hmmm - still too large, could use a flat panel display

It took the return of Steve Jobs and several years of real financial trouble to finally bring Apple back to their roots, but with the introduction of the iMac Apple has managed to simultaneously recall its past successes and break new ground in the...

Pros: Good computer & easy to use!
Cons: Need to buy other things!

As some of you already know, I work in retail selling computers and although I'm not an expert, I do feel that my opinion is worth something!

First off, I'd like to say that if you're interested in purchasing an IMac and you're new to...

Pros: Awesome G3!
Cons: limited software choice

I'm a salesman at sears, where Imacs are sold. When I 1st saw this thing when it 1st came out, I was amazed by how compact it is. Not knowing much about the imac I was familier with the machintosh OS, so I sat down and started playing around with it. The...

Pros: easy set up, easy to use, inexpensive single-unit design
Cons: small mouse and keyboard, only 2 USB ports, hard to upgrade

I've been around desktop computers for a very lonnnnnnnnng time. I learned to program in BASIC on an Apple IIe. That seems like a million years ago, but it was back in 1982. Wait, that is a million years ago, isn't it. Computers have, as they tend to do,...
