Apple iMac G5 review

1 ... 4 5 6 ... 16

Perfect for non techies-but get more RAM, avoid entry model.


I admit that I'm a Mac fan. I have to suffer Wintel at work but at home I want something that works without drivers, video cards, sound cards and crashes.
This is my 4th Mac and it is superb, if you want super fast 3D gaming then get an x-box but for working with media, internet, e-mail and WP it works out of the box flawlessly and its fantastically quiet.
Apple do their usual trick of giving insufficient RAM so be prepared to get more. I chose the 20 inch model because the display is fantastic but the 17 inch is also good (I have reservations about the value for money of the entry level machine without DVD writer).
