    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Everything

    Weaknesses:None that I can find

    Overall Evaluation: I run into these PC dorks at work all the time. (see above) It seems to me there should be a place where PC users and Bush supporters could come together and really "connect" on their core beliefs as they both share a fundamental trait: DENIAL. Anyway, I just purchased an iMac 20" G5 and I LOVE it! I was very surprised at how easy everything went together and my internet connection was magically made after I entered just a tiny bit of info. The keyboard I'm typing on is so nice and comfortable- nothing like the 'Whack-A-Mole' PC keyboards I use at work. First thing I did was set up my email account and I couldn't believe how simple it was. Then I went to the iTunes Music store and Quickly! downloaded a new episode of Scrubs! Would I recommend this beautiful iMac? YES, Yes, and YES! Oh, and did I mention how easy it was to install the 1 gig ram stick and how easy it is to access the entire inner-workings of this machine: again, it's amazingly simple.

    Duration of ownership: 4 Weeks

    Strengths: Compact design

    Weaknesses:Unexpandable, doesnt compare to windows

    Overall Evaluation: I found in this computer that it is compact. Although Mac OS wont ever compare with windows, they have made many improvements. I also own a 4 year old Gateway computer with 512mb ram, pentium 4, 1.6ghz processer, and i find that it runs MUCH smoother and faster. I can run Doom 3 on it, yet the mac has struggles with simple games. Plus the price on the mac is pathetic! I could have customized a Gateway with 2GB ram, ATI Graphics card, 250GB HDD for less than the price of this mac. I have been and still am concidering getting a new gateway after getting rid of this mac. I will never be a mac user. I suggest sticking to windows.

    Duration of ownership: 57 Days

    Strengths: Speed, Design, Operating System

    Weaknesses:Even though it was never intended for expandability, it would be nice if it was possible

    Overall Evaluation: This computer shines in every way. From the software point of view: Mac OS X has not a single virus out there, so you don't have to worry about protective software. I've always loved Windows, but once you get used to OS X, you'll realize it's far superior to XP. It's much easier, user intuitive and stabler. It also completes regular tasks faster, partly becuase of the OS structure, but also becuase of the G5 hardware. It has more raw computing power than my 3.02ghz top-o-the-line Dell. The aesthetics are incredible, both on the outside and in the Operating system. The UI is much prettier than XP (true it doesn't really matter, but it's always nice). I can't think of a better designed physical computer. Everybody asks me "That's a nice LCD, but where's the computer?" They never believe me when I tell them they're looking at it, until I stick a CD or DVD into the side of the computer, or I show them the USB, Firewire and other ports on the back. Apple accopmlished something unprecedented here, you have to wonder when they're going to get some market share back. Everything they do is simply far suprior to the PC world. I'm a switcher, and I'm proud of it. Don't ashamed to admit that Windows isn't as good. Get out of the PC box!
