An inexpensive iMac with beauty and speed [Posted on 2002-05-19] If you can't quite pull the dough together for a LCD iMac, this is your best option... the Snow look is gorgeous, and pictures can't do it justice. Depending on your angle of viewing, it is an opaque flurry of white which quickly goes to complete transparency. Not to focus on the look too much (with the traditional iMacs, it's one of the biggest differentiators), but all the advantages of the iMac apply. It takes little room on a desk, reduces cable clutter to just power cord, USB keyboard cable, and cables for modem or ethernet. For high-speed storage and video work, you've got FireWire. The CD-RW is good for burning files to CD, or making mix CDs for your car CD player. Snappy performance in Mac OS X, and all of the great software Apple includes... plus the vast amount of third-party software. Provides the cool-factor of the new LCD iMacs for those who can't rationalize spending more money, or for those worried kids might damage the arm-mounted LCD display.
Slow, small screen, can't upgrade it [Posted on 2002-08-06] Evade, escape, don't buy. This slow piece of plastic won't run any software other than the four year old kiddie games you find in the bargain bin. I can't believe they still sell this thing with a G3 CPU. It's a rip at any price.
iMacs are Great [Posted on 2002-12-02] If an emac or flat pannel imac is just too much, this is a great choice! Imacs come with MAC OS X v10.2, their new operating system that is bound to crush the PC buisness. I really like them for kids, schools, and especially adults who just need a simple computer for internet and some multimedia. And their size is nice if you have limited space. Too bad they dont come with combo drives...
