Review: Well let's see... It looks wonderful, so good that it qualifies for some sort of design award with the 24"screen reducing the relative size of the surrounding white bezel that houses the necessary hardware so that everything looks perfectly in... Read Full Review by hodgey87, Jun 2, 2008
It looks pretty but making it work is another issue
Author's Rating:
Pros: All in one design, price, and look
Cons: 3rd party software limited, functionality, and see below for more details
The Bottom Line: If you love one type of pie, go Apple, if you want options, go Windows.
Review: I will be the first to say it looks beautiful. The screen appearance is gorgeous unfortunately the applications aren't so much. I really wanted Apple to work for me. I purchased the iMac after years of working with Windows. I utilize a PC with... Read Full Review by topher73, Jul 8, 2007

To see is to believe its gorgeous 24-inch display, fast Intel Core 2... Read Full Review by hamsinn, Oct 31, 2006
Giant Screen is a Window to a New World
Author's Rating:
Pros: Giant, bright, high-resolution screen. Screen spanning. High-performance multitasking. Easy migration from older Mac.
Cons: Expensive Apple memory upgrade."Black"is fairly bright. Tricky mouse control; non-obvious right button.
The Bottom Line: Treat your eyes and your precious time to the big screen experience.
Review: I decided to spring for the 24"Intel iMac because the one complaint I couldn't solve any other way was screen real estate. Articles will tell you that a big screen is really worth it, for the productivity and the enjoyment. Boy, are they right! When... Read Full Review by MaxWebster, Dec 3, 2006
