Average Rating: Rating: - More Marlene than Marilyn Apple finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse. But having succumbed, I must confess I find this a machine to admire more than to cuddle up and go to bed with. I needed to upgrade from an original iMac and was thinking of getting an eMac, a machine I use at work. But when you consider that the 17" flat panel screen alone was going for a grand less than a month ago, it's hard not to be seduced by this powered-up version at a lower price. But a few things I've discovered already about the screen: 1. the extra width doesn't result in larger images--it just gives you more room to run simultaneous programs; 2. if anything, the text is smaller than on my old iMac, partly because of the "dock" that runs with OSX; 3. the screen requires a lot of positioning and repositioning to make the contrast line up with a user's changing sightlines; 4. I just don't sense as much depth, resonance, warmth, color saturation, and vibrancy from the flat-panel screen as from a conventional CRT. It's more Marlene Dietrich than Marilyn Monroe (perhaps a plus to anyone who tends to become overly attached to their machine). As for OSX, it's attractive, tidy, smart--and a bit of a pain. If you're someone who is messy but knows where his stuff is, you may want to stay with OS9. OSX is like the cleaning lady who comes into your office while you're away and puts everything into order. It may look good, but don't ever count on finding anything. Rating: - A Combination of Beauty, Simplicity, and Utility My new 17" 1GHz just arrived. I'd seen it in stores, but there is nothing like seeing it on your own desk. Without qualification, I consider it the most beautiful piece of technology I have ever seen. It is also simple. I have been a Mac user for some years and was sure that I would have to read a thick manual (which I have already bought, The Missing Manual for OS X Jaguar), but I have used my iMac for several hours and haven't had to use the manual yet. I have played a DVD movie, some music CDs. downloaded the new browser in Beta, Safari, and have surfed the Web. I feel certain that with just some referrals to the book, I'm going to get along in OS X just fine. I am really looking forward to putting this beauty through its paces. I highly recommend it. Rating: - Wonderful machine, excellent bundled applications Apple's 1 GHz 17-inch iMac may not seem to keep up with the PC big boys, but the reality is that the elegance of the hardware and software really makes up the difference. The screen is beautiful, and you'll never want to go back to a "normal" (i.e. non-widescreen) monitor once you've used it. Otherwise, the hardware is so-so: The speakers aren't great, and the keyboard and mouse are sub-par. On the software side, Mac OS X 10.2 is solid and fast, and the iLife applications are good (iMovie, iPhoto) to excellent (iTunes, iDVD). You'll want a copy of Microsoft Office v.X to round out the software selection, and that's expensive, unfortunately. All in all, an excellent all around computer, especially for those interested in multimedia, though you can spend half as much on a speedier Dell system. But that's not the point, is it? The iMac has the grace, elegance and--dare I say it--innovation to keep fans happy. Worth considering if the price tag doesn't scare you off.
