Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best "First Computer" on the market, bar none.
Review: First Computer or not, this is the one for you. I've purchased Three iMacs for family members and my Church. (I've owned 5 Macs myself.) The iMac comes with software, games and more capabilities than many higher end models. Macs are simplier, faster and easier to use than any other computer on the market. How do I know? I work at a Major PC manufacturer in the IT department. But I use Macs at home. (I sometimes even have to use my Mac at work, just to get the "job done.") (...) Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good machine
Review: the iMac is a beautiful machine. Speed is not great for gaming purposes, but a solid generalist computer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mac makes a comeback (or two)!
Review: When I bought my first Macintosh almost 6 years ago, I thought it was the most amazing computer ever. Of course, I was in the 7th grade at the time....

When it came time to buy me another computer for college, I thought this entry-level iMac would be perfect, and I was right!

Mac OS X is incredible. Not only is it simple and aesthetically pleasing, but it's also remarkably efficient as well. Instead of a cluttered desktop, simply drag the stuff you would normally have there into the dock and presto! you have a nice clean desktop and one location for all the programs and documents you need.

Digital imaging has also never been easier. I briefly had an inexpensive digital camera, and instead of all the hassle of installing the software to just download all the images into the computer, I just plugged it into the USB port and let my Mac do the rest!

As in the past, the selection of readily-available games leaves A LOT to be desired. But most of these can be purchased online (like right here at amazon.com!) But don't expect to go to your local computer store and find aisles and aisles of games for Mac...

I've had my new iMac for about 2 months now, and I have absolutely no regrets!
