Best computer I have ever had.......2006-08-15

I have had this computer for 7 months and I still think it is the best purchase I have ever made. It is beautiful, efficient, and FAST! Never has the computer "locked up" on me, crashed, given me cryptic error messages, or taken more than a few seconds to open a file. My ONLY wish is for a two button mouse, as I still have to work on a clunky Dell at the office, I have never fully adapted to the one button mouse. This is a good, quality product that will last years. I purchased a video iPod shortly afterwards and I just love how the two products work together seamlessly.

Not just for techno geeks.......2006-08-07

The iMac G5 is an excellent computer for both the novice and the techno geek. Their ads are not just hype. It really is out of the box easy to use and with the assortment of usable software that comes with the G5, it will meets the needs of most users. The iPhoto combined with my digital camera is great. A zippy dependable machine that doesn't require constant updates, patches, and restarts. I use both PCs and Macs but this is the computer I chose for my home. My iMac is a useful tool rather than a time draining frustration.

I was there from the beginning..........2005-11-08

I have owned many Apple products starting with the Apple //e. I have owned an Apple //c as well. My Macintosh products include the original 1984, 128K Mac, 512K Mac, Mac SE30, Mac Quadra 700, Mac Centris 610, Mac Color Classic, two versions of the G3 iBook, iMac DV, iMac that looks like a Luxo lamp, and the iMac G5. Do I know Macs? Well, not as well as some, but better than most. The iMac G5 is not my favorite. The Luxo lamp G4 iMac is a nicer form factor and I am sorry Apple abandoned it. However, that said, the G5 iMac is awesome. It is fast and its footprint is small. The sound is weak but nothing a nice set of inexpensive speakers will not solve. However, out of the box, the iMac G5 is wonderful.

Oh, in case you are wondering, I am also a PC user, also from the early 1980's. I have seen Apples ahead of PC's and vice versa. If you can buy just one computer, and do not need a laptop, buy this one (or one of its slightly newer models). There is NOTHING this computer can not do (except crash due to spyware and viruses).

Switch? Whatever........2005-10-04

Just purchased an iMac 17" 2.0 GHz with an upgraded RAM of 1.5GB. I'm a photographer who decided to switch to Apple because of their reputation of stability and ability to handle graphics quickly. Was I wrong.

I tried downloading images in a JPEG format that were approximately 2 MB in size. It required almost 5-7 sec per image vs. my buddies 4 year old Dell 1.8GHz with 256 MB RAM doing it at appoximately 2 sec/image. The computer also continued to crash if I tried operating other applications during this process. Next day tried to make a book with the iPhoto application. Repeated crashes. Had to open and close the program to save each change while working on my project. This added painful hours to my workflow. Additionally, you can not view thumbnails of your images in the file folder. Couldn't figure out why this feature was missing.

The worst thing was the service. I called the shop that I purchased it from and they offered no solution to the speed problem. "At least the CD downloaded completely" was their answer. The most painful aspect was that they deferred the store's sales policy to whatever Apple dictated. Ridiculous. I don't buy a product from Amazon and expect to be directed to the manufacturer of the product should any concerns arise.

I was told by a sales person that at the time of purchase that I was entitled 1 service call to Apple for first 90 days of my purchase. After that call or after that time period, the calls would be charged $60/call. Be wary of the limited support.

If you're gonna switch, understand that there is limited support for you compared to other PC companies.

I was so disgusted with the service and product that I returned my mac and paid the 15% restocking fee that they charged. I essentially paid Apple to take back their product.

If you've had positive experiences with this product, congratulations. I wish I shared that same experience.

Beautiful Machine.......2005-09-28

I absolutely love this computer. I bought it from the Apple Store in early July and could not be happier. In the three years before buying this computer I owned two laptops which spent more time being sent to HP's tech support (in all that time I never once encountered someone who spoke English fluently) than they did being used. I may never find out what Apple's tech support is like because this computer has no problems whatsoever.

I have the base model, which does not include the superdrive. The iLife suite covers all your basic needs with programs that work well, a big improvement over the junk which tends to come on windows.

Another hugely useful feature is dashboard. Go on the widgets page on [...] to see the many useful widgets you can download and access by hitting F12. The function keys are generally well used by Apple. F9 shows you all your open windows, F10 shows you all the windows open in a particular application and F11 minimizes all the windows.

Another thing that I love is that basically anything can be simply plugged in and used. You don't usually need to install anything. This made the switch much faster, since I didn't have to reinstall programs for my digital camera, printer, etc. It also connected to my school's network instantly, whereas most PC users had many more troubles.

But the final reason I love my Mac is how pretty it is. It just looks great on my desk. When people see it, they compliment me on my nice moniter, and are always surprised when I tell them it's the entire computer.

Overall, I definitly recommend this computer.

Amazon.com Product Description

Died after 18 months.......2004-06-05

My LaCie 20gig Pocket drive died after 18 months. I used it once per month for backup of my desktop system and laptop. Now it's green light comes on but it doesn't spin up and the USB connection will not be recognized by either system.

Expensive but small and reliable.......2004-03-29

Bought a 60Gb version of this drive 2 years ago and have travelled the world with it ever since. Small, reliable, fairly robust (owing to the shock-proof rubberized casing) and with the convenience of both firewire and USB 2 interfaces. Plug it into Win2k, it gets auto-recognized and you're good to go in a few minutes. Windows explorer shows it as just another drive in the system. The second and subsequent times you connect, it gets set up even faster since the drivers will have been already loaded. Superb way of carrying 60Gb or more literally in your pocket.

If you are on the move a lot or want to extend your laptop I'd highly recommend it. However, the price per Gb with this drive is somewhat high, so if you could live with a less portable drive, then there are cheaper drives available with larger capacities. If size / weight are an issue, then I can recommend this as a very portable and reliable solution.

If you do have Dolby Digital decoding in your AV receiver, you can use either of the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for a direct digital connection.

Best dvd player for the money to play in india........2004-03-16

I've taken three of them all of them are working with no complaints. Have so many features like MP3, vcd, svcd, dvd, recordable dvd, photo disc play.

Fatal Coincidence.......2004-03-03

I bought this DVD player for use with a 1997 model Zenith 25' TV. It's my first DVD player, so I can't compare it with others, but it seems fine. I don't think it has a significant problem with lines as they say non-progressive scan machines do. There are lots of ways to adjust it if you study the manual. However, the color on my TV suddenly went partially out one day after using it only a few times.

Sexy little player, capable of playing any DVD worldwide.......2003-12-19

Whilst this may not be the most technologically advanced or sleakest looking machine on the market, I challenge you to find a more user-friendly DVD player which can be manipulated without opening the machine or doing anything illegally into playing any DVD not just from any region but also PAL or NTSC thanks to it's changable format. My player doesn't even require changing every time a new region or format DVD is put in - it automatically reads the DVD and changes itself to be able to play it. For less then forty dollars, you really couldn't ask more. It's a small design but the remote is fully functional and of good size - certainly no tiny little buttons to fiddle around with. I am absolutely delighted with the player for its usability and cost.

Compact and User Friendly.......2003-11-21

The DVD player has a classy look. Works great with all electronics, even digital TVs. It is SO easy to use, I've never even had to open the user's manual.

BAD DVD.......2003-11-17

This is the worst DVD player ever! I bought two of these and one broke on the first day and the other broke on the second day. Both of them ate the disks and I had to pry the DVD player apart jsut to get it open. This DVD player is just a piece of crap.

Pleasant surprise!.......2002-05-28

I received this camera as a gift. Not only is it convenient, light weight and all around very easy to use camera, I have found that it takes an exceptionally good close-up pictures of products that I would like to display on the Internet. Of course that's after I scanned them in and digitalized them.
I am happy to give up using my expensive, heavyweight, complicated 35mm manual setting camera for the same purpose with equally good results.

Nice point-and-snap camera........2002-05-09

Very lightweight and cute. Will fit in your handbag (as mine always is!) ready for whipping out at the next opportune moment. :) easy loading and easy use. don't expect anything too fancy as it's quite a basic camera. perfect for keeping with you all the time. you can set the camera to say set messages on the back of each photo and it'll put in the time and date - on the back so your picture isn't obscured!

only problem i found is that the autofocus comes out and when you try to flip the lid down, the lid sometimes hit the autofocus - it doesn't do anything to the camera, but it might disturb the lens after a few too many hits. :( aside from that, it's a great camera. i only hope i don't encounter the same loading problems as i did with the C450. :(
