I love this computer!.......2004-07-09
I never owned or even operated a Mac until a few months ago. I decided to get one just for the heck of it. Man, what a machine!
OS X is awesome. I am a Linux geek and have been for years, so switching to a Mac was no big deal. I can still play *nix if I want, but the interface on OS X is really something else. It just makes sense. Don't want a program installed any more? Drag it to the trash. None of this "Add/Remove Programs" junk.
I have no problems at all playing with any video editing stuff. The CPU is more than capable of doing any task.
I am also very impressed with Apple's tech support. The hard drive on mine crapped out after 60 days. I called Apple and the guy on the phone walked me through a bunch of tests. He was extremely helpful and a total pleasure to deal with. The best part of it all was that they sent a guy to my house to fix the drive. I did not have to take it anywhere or send it anyplace.
Never again will I use a PC unless it is a Linux box. And my client machines will always be Macs.
Great monitor, weak CPU.......2004-03-27
Not perfect, but still better than any PC.......2004-02-27
Apple is getting it right!.......2003-12-31
I had strayed from Apple since owning a Color Classic in 1993 until 2001. At that time, the new Apple Cube caught my eye, as well as the beta version of OS X. I love the FreeBSD operating system, and was very excited about running a Unix distribution on a well-integrated consumer desktop. Alas, I must admit I was disappointed. The original OSX was far to slow for any reasonable work. Worse yet, it lacked the support to allow me to do simple tasks "what do you mean I can't play DVDs and my printer isn't supported?!?!" Nevertheless, I decided to try to stick with it. I sold the Cube and bought a DP 533 and 17 Studio display. Better performance, but still many nagging problems doing things that were a snap on a garden variety PC. I sold the DP 533, and bought two more PCs in the following two years.
My last system was a AMD XP 2800+, DVD-R, 1 GB of ram and a 19" LCD. Performance was satisfactory expect for three things (1) the system was unacceptably loud for my home office, (2) it was nearly impossible to create a decent DVD despite trying a number of software packages (I have a two year-old daughter and new son on the way--lots of video), and (3) I HATE WINDOWS. The system required constant tweaking and chasing down glitches.
Finally, I broke down, sold the PC and bought a 20" iMac. Unlike my experience two years ago, I am happy to report that Apple has got it right. The system works as advertised. The machine is quiet, well designed, and beautiful (had to mention that in any discussion of a mac). As a bonus, the system came with a suite of applications that cover almost every common task, often much more smoothly then their Windows counterparts. (Quicken, AppleWorks,iTunes, iPhoto, iEtc...) Add to that the huge collection of open source unix-based software available for free and you will find you need to buy very little additional software.
While I was concerned about the speed of a 1.25GHZ G4 vs. my PC juggernaut, this was unwarranted. I am sure in pure processing speed, my new mac is not as fast. However, I have no complaints about speed and responsiveness when editing video, developing java applications on Netbeans, or playing the occasional game. The large screen makes it easy to juggle many windows, and Safari offers the best web browsing experience I have seen to date. I would recommend that you order your iMac with the 160GB drive and at least 512MB of memory for best performance.
I find the 20" iMac to provide a very enjoyable overall computing experience. One caveat -- I would make sure your essential applications and peripherals will work with the machine. There are still some voids in hardware support, but not nearly what it was two years ago. Check out Apple's excellent web site for more information. If the 20" iMac fits the bill in that regard, go for it, it is an excellent machine.
