Nice Upgrade July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Had the iMac over night and everything was as promised.
24" display is stunning and unit has been performing flawlessly for the six weeks I have had it.
Gorgeous - where have you been all my life? July 3, 2008

If you ever visit an Apple Store, be sure to take a long look at the iMacs on display, but be aware that the mechanics for the 24-inch screen model are far superior to those of the 20-inch model. I think it is worth the extra dollars to get the larger model.
Also be aware that you will want to scan your old slides. It is miraculous how well a good scanner (Canon's 8800) and Adobe Photoshop automatically dust off your old slides and give them life again, so good they look like they were taken yesterday! And the display on the iMac - well, it is a miracle!
The only negative thing I could think to include is the very hot top surface of the computer, which has three fans working inside to keep it cool, but right now, as I type this, the interior components are all running above 100 (Fahrenheit). You should keep the iMac away from where small children could accidentally run their hands over the top edge.
This is a totally silent machine, too - no whirring, ticking, or gurgling. I also doubled the RAM to 4 GB, which is virtually mandatory if you do photos and music. The cost for doing that was less than $100.
I highly recommend this one! You will not be disappointed.
 AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION... June 30, 2008

This is my first Mac. I had looked into getting a mabook, macbook pro, too, but this is also my main media device so i went for the gorgeous 24" screen. Learning the ins and outs of OS X has been a pleasure as the whole thing is very user friendly, and it just makes sense. The speed has been good, i plan to up the ram tho i doesn't seem to need it. The isight produces a fine picture.
The only complaint I have is that the wired mouse wire is distractingly short. I will definitely invest in the wireless keyboard and mouse. The distressing thing about the computer is it is hard to find programs for mac, but i've got simple needs.
Overall, I'm satisfied with it. Prolly been turned to the dark mac side now but at least i'll be smiling over here.
memory modules June 25, 2008
Have had the iMac for a few days and am enjoying the experience. A few things: the initial Time machine backup took >24 hours...VERY slow. This appears 'normal' for many users. I have ordered an extra 2 GB RAM. Has anyone had experience trying to remove the memory modules? I found that I could unseat each module but could not remove either despite exerting considerable force on the tabs. I may try contacting Apple.
Finally switched to a Mac! June 25, 2008

After five years of thinking about it, I finally purchased an iMac and couldn't be happier. This unit has functioned perfectly out of the box. The graphics are amazing and an iMac is super fast starting up cold and waking up from standby. There are simply less issues with using this machine on a day to day basis...it just works without interruptions and warning screens as their software is superior to vista.
Yes, there has been a learning curve but if I can do it, you can too.
I did purchase a wireless mouse (Logitech Revolution) as I had to get away from the corded on that came with the machine.
I've found that iMac's generate heat that is quite noticeable at the top left of the screen. Checking online, I found that this is quite normal and nothing to worry about.
FYI, there are pictures that you can find online showing the inside construction of this unit. It's quite amazing to see how they put all of the stuff inside of an iMac!
Finally, Amazon's service and shipping were first class, what a great company to do business with.
