Pros: Good price point, fast processor, generous memory and hard drive, all-in-one package for portability, and it looks cool.
Cons: 56K modem incompatible with many ISPs, burger bun mouse, no floppy disk, not backward compatible with other Mac peripherals, some washed out fonts.
Summary: I hope this "computer for the rest of us" is not the one that drives what’s left of us into the PC camp. I bought an iMac DV Special Edition, perhaps with too-high expectations that it would be the leap forward in technology and ease of use ... read more

Pros: Plently processor power, enough HD space and funky looks!
Cons: As usual, bad RAM provision from Apple.
Summary: This is my second iMac, my first being a Tangerine one with the tray CD-ROM drive. It must be said that everything about this one is superior to my last: Firewire, optical mouse, full-size keyboard, CD-RW, and not forgetting the awwwww-inducing pulsing ... read more

Pros: a compact machine which is good for a small desk

Pros: Legendary Apple design and ease-of-use, it has enough power for all but the most demanding.
Cons: Some models (Summer 2000) are noisy, infamous mouse design, no quick external storage.
Summary: What kind of computer user are you? Aspiring movie director? Internet junkie? Down and dirty, get work done business person? Game player? The iMac DV/SE can satisfy all these types of people and more, and do it with flair.

Pros: Great space-saver, speedy processor, good storage and RAM. supplies
Cons: Very limited expandability/upgradability, small monitor.

Pros: Simple, robust, elegant
Cons: Clumsy keyboard
Summary: Now that the G4s are out, prices on the older iMacs should fall. If you get a chance to pick up this one for a reasonable price, do it.
