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

Pros: Simple, elegant, how tech should be
Cons: No expansion options

The Imac is symbolic of Apple's return to it's roots. Making computing fun again. Despite some short-comings, it is the embodiment of a new Apple: Sleek, bright and profitable. Much maligned (at first) by the PC community, but never defeated, the Imac is...

Pros: Easy to learn, compact, very reliable (no lost work due to lock up)
Cons: Only 333MHz

When considering which computer to buy, I take into account price, capability, and (although I may be flamed by all the computer junkies) looks.

As one of the easiest computer's to set up and use, the Macintosh imac comes with various features...

Pros: Good looking, easy to use.
Cons: HIDEOUS mouse, not too powerful

I will immediatly and truthfully admit that I do not like the iMac. I find it a bit outdated and far too simple for my tastes... but I realize that these are my tastes. I will also readily admit that the iMac has some very strong points on its side,...

Pros: small, fast, efficient, low maintenance, inexpensive, wide array of USB and FireWire peripherals makes it very expandable, excellent graphics performance, tons of games available with Sony PlayStation emulator
Cons: Windows users may have "fear of the unknown", does not run Windows software except with PC emulator, color of computer difficult to match with home decor sometimes (everything in my apartment is brown, including the walls and floor), small keyboa

Are you tired of spending more time fixing your computer than actually using it? Are you tired of spending money on processor, memory, and hard drive upgrades every year because your operating system and applications keep getting bigger and slower?

Pros: Easy to use, reliable, kind of cute
Cons: Heavy, difficult to upgrade

As a Mac owner since 1983, I became disillusioned as Apple lost its way under the leadership of the Pepsi mafia. I nearly gave up hope until Steve came back to sort things out, when I got one of the first iMacs on the market for my wife, then more...

Pros: Somewhat stable OS, easier to get going.
Cons: No self-upgradeable hardware, rather uncomfortable keyboard/mouse.

LJRUNNER is right in many respects, even though it sounds like he's just bitching because he's PC biased (is that anything like DC bias?...hehe). Anyway, it is true that one of the main reasons Apple lost their HUGE lead in the PC (personal computer)...

Pros: Fast, cheap, pretty?
Cons: No expansion of any kind, no floppy

I've been using iMac's since a tornado hit the city of St. Peter, MN in the spring of 1998. Let me explain. My College lost almost everything when a tornado decided to dance straight through it. My college replaced one of it's computer labs with...

Pros: Many
Cons: hard to upgrade

For years now, companies copy other companies' ideas. It probably all started way back in the stoneage - also known as DOS times. Remember, these were the days when 'floppy disks' were actually flexible and floppy. Windows operating system was clearly...

Pros: Good for people who buy computers by color.
Cons: Don't try to play any games or anything that requires a good video chipset. The mouse and keyboard sucks.

Why The iMac Sucks

By Sir Frag and rajn

Version 1.2.1 - June 30, 1999



PLEASE NOTE that this is not an anti-Macintosh page. I have been...

Pros: its easy and you can get to the internet fast
Cons: They're falling behind the times, other computers may not have the looks but they're definately better

The IMAC is was an Ok computer, but frankly it and its successors have been falling behind other computer companies. Also its only a matter of time before other companies start making their computers with designs too. Also if your children are big PC...

Pros: Cool looking, good for schoolwork
Cons: Slow internet, crashes a lot

I recently bought an Imac and it has been great mostly but bad in a few ways. I usually use it only for schoolwork and use Appleworks on it. Sometimes, though, I use it for the internet. All of the Imac commercials explain that the Imac is good for...

Pros: they look nice
Cons: too little memory

I use an iMac at my school. It is cute, but that is about all I can say for it. I often find that it cannot do many of this things that I want it to. It has insufficient memory. I'm sure this is something that can be upgraded at a cost, but is that...

Pros: price, simplicity, surprising speed and storage
Cons: limited expandability, slow with graphics work

Although a life-long Apple user, even I was wary of apple's decision to mold their latest offering in the image of lollipops. With such emphasis on packaging to lure people with its friendly, youthful personality, it seemed that the computer inside would...

Pros: Cheap, fast, expandable.
Cons: None.

The iMac review by "meg" contains numerous errors, mistakes and false information. As a professional computer support person, I think I can refute her claims.

If your computer came with 64MB of memory, you should not have to...

Pros: well design and overall nice performances
Cons: upgrade option is limited

I don't understand how some people got so disappointed in iMac after purchasing it. Yes, I admit that it got a few limitations, but overall, it is well-designed for a desktop computer, and got lot of strong features I I believe worth the money to...
