Made the switch to Apple Macintosh........2007-01-26

After years of using PC's with a "virus" called Windows, I made the switch to Macintosh with an iBook G4 and the iMac G5 and haven't regretted it since. The operating system is rock solid. In fact, after nearly two years of using both Mac's, I haven't had the OS crash even ONCE. Sure, I've had some applications hang up or quit unexpectedly, but they NEVER took the operating system with it (I just used "Force Quit" and tried again). As a comparison, my old Windows 98 system couldn't make it 2 hours without needing a re-boot.

Yes, there isn't as much software available for the Mac's, but if you look around a while, you can find a program that'll do whatever a PC can do, many times even better.

No viruses, no spyware, no non-sense. The Macintosh just works.

Quality computer.......2006-05-27

I purchased this model recently as my first Apple computer. Coming from a Unix background, the initial experience is a bit of a mixed bag. Some things are highly annoying, for example, not only is gcc, an absolutely essential piece of unix software, not available at install time, but it is a massive chore to even get on the system, and in the end you have little choice but to install Apple's Xcode tools.

The root account is disabled by default, as are a number of services such as ssh. Several traditional Unix pathnames have been changed inexplicably, for example, the home directory is called Users in the mac os. Options for other operating systems are largely limited to Linux.

This computer comes pre-installed with a number of slick looking and useful programs, mirroring the operating system itself. These are rather heavily biased towards multimedia. It is nice to have a working microphone and camera out of the box, however.

Overall, the operating system is good, but it could be better. Apple fans will throw it in with other unix systems like FreeBSD. In a lot of ways, the Mac OS is not in the same league as FreeBSD, and the inverse is also true. The typical user will get more out of the Mac OS because of its multimedia features while the programmer or network administrator will probably get more out of a more traditional unix system because of the readily available programming and networking tools.

As far as the hardware goes, there's a lot of FUD going around about the switch to Intel. It is true that the Intel processors have higher clock rates, but just as horsepower is only the definitive measure of a car to the uninformed, so too is the clock rate of a processor. The Intel architecture has some key disadvantages when compared to powerpc. One of the obvious ones is the register set. Registers are small, extremely fast memory for a processor. The 32 bit x86 architecture has 8 32 bit registers that are used as general purpose along with a few special purpose registers. The 32 bit powerpc implementation architechture features 32 general purpose registers, also 32 bit, as well as 32 64 bit floating point registers, in addition to a set of special purpose registers. Why is this important? Because in the register starved x86 architecture, there is more dependence on operations on the slower RAM. With the powerpc architecture, the programmer can load values into registers, manipulate the contents of those registers as necessary, and store the results back in memory. This is one reason why a "slower" powerpc will have better performance than a "faster" intel. Of course, since the intel processors have higher clock rates, you can concoct tests that will favor them, but these have little bearing on reality. The Intel strategy for at least the past ten years has been to increase the clock rate steadily and not really improve the architecture.

iMac G5 - 17 in. BEST VALUE.......2006-05-20

I bought my iMac G5 3 weeks ago, not from Amazon; but from the Apple Store (Refurbished for $999). This was absolutely the best value I couldve gotten: especially since because of recent iPod purchases, I got a $100 eCoupon. (You should definately try requesting one).

Anyway, I got a great, fast computer: and only for $899! I dont know why people would need to fork up another 100 bucks to get a 20" model with only 1.83 GHz processing speed.

With the superdrive, iSight built in, 160 GB HD, and more... I think this is the best value for an Apple Computer available: but if you think you may need windows, go and buy an Intel machine to download Windows into it. Be aware that its almost impossible to find some software on a mac, but takes less than 5 minutes for Windows...

my first apple.......2006-03-18

im very happy to have bought this computer after many years of PC.

iMac G5, plenty fast!.......2006-02-24

I actually purchased this iMac for my cousin who was tired of the Windows world. She is extremely happy with this iMac and wonders why she waited so long to go back to a Mac. The built in iSight camera is a great addition. The Front Row software is also nice, though limited in use. I set it up for her without a hitch, fast and easy. Getting her set with her DSL account was also a breeze. The screen is bright and clear and the added Mighty Mouse is a nice bonus. I have experience with iMacs since their debut in 1998, this is by far the most refined and elegant design. Apple has definitely hit the bulls-eye with this one. As far as G5 vs. intel goes, my choice would be the G5 if you have existing software that has not or will not be updated for awhile and you need to work now. If you are starting from scratch, I guess I would go with the intel version. That being said, I don't usually buy the first version of anything. Hope this helps and frankly, you can't go wrong with either model.

You won't regret this buy........2005-07-17

I've been needing another LCD for my second PC and after much searching and reading I decided to try this LG unit. I've had this display for over two months now and it's very nice to view. I already have an NEC LCD 1960NX, but that has been discontinued and I wanted as close to the NEC as possible. The LG is nearly the same unit. Both have VGA and DVI inputs, the screens do not glare. The only REAL difference is that the LG does not have a stand that can be raised up and down, it tilts and swivels, but does not have vertical sliding stand. I have not found this to be a problem so far. Also, the power supplies are internal to the panel and for me that's a must; no stupid power block laying around. I only see 1 dead pixel and it's in a spot that's not bothering to my eyes. My NEC has 3 dead pixels, so the quality is apparenlty getting better even though the price of the NEC 18 months ago was almost double what this LG costs. This also has USB 1.1 ports on the stand (my NEC does not). It also comes with DVI cable too, again, the NEC did not and look how much more that NEC cost back then and it did not have USB ports nor DVI cable included.

Enjoy your new display!!!

Looks great, more desk space to work!.......2004-12-10

I got mine on Monday and I already love it. I replaced a smaller flat panel and an old (and huge!) 17" CRT I had and my studio looks more spacious. I also bought a KVM and I am sharing the LG L1910 among an XP and a Linux machine. Switching is smooth, no clicks or sounds, like if the monitor didn't even notice it. Even though Linux does not automatically recognize it when probing you can just "define" it based on the specifications which you can find right here at Amazon.

It is very bright and the contrast is great. I'd say images look a lot brighter and better in the new LG than in any of my old monitors (a 17" CRT Viewsonic and a 15" flat panel Dell).
Having the additional desk space is great too.

It's been only 5 days but so far, so good....we'll see.

Amazon.com Product Description

Looking for an affordable entry to the world of LCD quality and flat-panel coolness? Norcent's LT-1720 boasts a 17-inch widescreen liquid-crystal display with razor-sharp images, an internal NTSC tuner for convenient broadcast television viewing, and native 1,280 x 768-resolution for vivid, detailed images from PCs, DTV set-top boxes (high-definition 720p/1080i), DVD players, gaming devices, camcorders, and other sources. Catch the news while you're waiting for your PC to boot or seat the set in your kitchen for space-saving convenience.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

Stereo speakers powered by 5 watts each offer lively sound, and the set's image benefits from a high (500:1) contrast ratio, peak brightness of 450 candles/square meter, and exceptionally wide (170 x 170 degrees, horizontal/vertical) viewing angles. The television also offers 0.288 mm dot pitch. Hookup couldn't be simpler with S-video, composite-video, and component-video inputs (each accompanied by a stereo analog-audio RCA jacks), and a 15-pin D-Sub input for your PC (cable supplied).

The LT-1720's swivel base lets you optimize the screen for your sitting position.
