Apple iMac MB950LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop


I've been a PC users since the PCXT days. Now I have a mac. I really have been suprised at how easy it is to learn the mac way of doing things.
So far, everything has been very easy to install and use. I had the windows/vmware setup and the iPhone SDK install the first day. Coming from a PC, I'm delighted at how elegant the interface is, even the mouse and keyboard are elegant. The screen is very nice. Colors seem very good, but I haven't done any photo editing and color correction/matching (so you'll have to get the pros opinion on that one).
Windows runs very well on it and I've had no problems with it.

I can't see changing back to a PC for my uses (not a gamer). This iMac was the best value IMO, compared to the other mac's and macbooks. Even compared to the new mac mini (if you add in the additional cost of a good monitor, bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse, the mini was closing in on the iMac price). I'd recommend this iMac for any deveoper to use as a base system. Power seems more than sufficient add to that the capability to run windows as well and you have one of the best values in a development system I've seen.

All this and lets face it the mac experience is very pleasant, and it doesn't hurt to expand your development into the mac arena.

I don't know what is happening with the negative review(er's) IMacs but my experience has been nothing but Amazing.
No issues, smooth operation even in dual boot mode.
Truly an amazing machine!!

I first thought this iMac was way overkill, but I bought and received it before Christmas 2009, and I have been using it for a month now. It is amazing. I didn't experience any of the issues some of the other reviewers have had, it worked great from day one. The wide, 27" screen is amazing and worth the price of the machine. The primary purpose of a computer for me is photography, and while using photoshop on some of the larger files (i.e. 100-900MB) can be a bit much for it, I am extremely pleased with the performance of this iMac. The screen is so big and sharp, it makes editing pictures a breeze.

You can read elsewhere for tech specs or geek rantings, but here's my "I've got it set up as my family computer" five point review:

-FAST: this computer screams, doing about anything you need it to without annoying pauses.

-STYLE: yes, it does look like a fashion statement. And lest you say, "I just care about how it performs"-- you probably have other possessions that you admire their beauty--- some of your clothes, furniture, perhaps your car--- why shouldn't you be able to admire your computer as well? Apple says "YES YOU CAN!"
-SILENT: its internal fans and hard drive are so well designed that it's very hard to hear any noise. I didn't expect that to be a big deal but I can really notice the difference between my old computer's noise level and my new iMac.

-THE SCREEN: yes, it's a thing of beauty, bright, crisp, big, in full HD resolution that you can use to do any type of computing or watch a movie in complete comfort.

-THE OS: Snow Leopard rocks. It's the best personal computer operating system on the planet, period.

All the tech magazines have raved about this computer, and sitting in front of it on my desk I now know why. If you need a new computer I guarantee you will fall in love with it.
