Apple® - iMac® 2.66GHz with 20" Display

I saw where someone wrote that you could not make the window fill the screen. Well you can go to the preferences and select display and choose 1027 x 780 strecthed and it fills the screen. Then use the screen sizer to fit your taste. I-Work is easier than word, excell and powerpoint, loads more options and much less money. I-Photo has more than photo shop and the whole unit is really fast. I called and talked to apple about the extra memory but they said unless I was going a lot of games it was not necessary as os-x was more efficent than windows and they were right. I even figured out how to transfer the playlist for I-tunes, transfering the library is easy the the playlist were a challange but can be done. I am a life long windows person but this is so much easier, safer and has more features. Buy a PC of this quality and add all the programs the come with the I-Mac, then have to buy virus protection and you cost will be much more. Especially if you try and buy a all in one unit or a monitor that has the picture clarity and color display equal to the I-Mac. for those interested in moving their playlist. 1. open I-tunes and right clip a playlist 2. save in my documents 3. email the play list to the I-Mac 4. open the email and save the playlist to the desk top 5. open I-tines and click File 6. go to Library and click 7. then click import Playlist 8. find it on the desktop and click open and the playlist saves itself in I-tunes would I recommend this to a friend, Absoulty!!!!

I have had this iMac for two months now and I can honestly say that it is the best computer I've ever owned. The processing speed, ease of use, fast boot up time helps me forget about how much I paid for this computer. But for the price you pay you'll be getting a superior product. Also the itunes player along with my iphone seems to run much smoother than on the PC I had before. Enjoy!!

Raised on PC's and got disgusted @ the thought of throwing more $$ at another one. Asked around at office and found majority had a MAC at home. Now so do my husband and I. Old dog - new trick? Not really! It's been a reasonably easy transition. Screen, built in speakers, keyboard are ALL amazing. Friends were right...you only wish you'd bought a MAC sooner!!! Absolutely encourage PC users to make the switch. You'll be glad you did. Wish our budget could have handled the 23" screen but the 20" is more than adequate for our needs. Superior product, no doubt! Insert smiling face here!!!

after 4 pc computers i was fed up with all the problems and windows vista.i read up on the macs and found this one.i will never own a pc again.this computer has one cord that you plug in to the wall and ta da!! its is still fast even after 6 months of downloads and whatever i throw at it.no virus worries and it just looks beautiful on my desk

Apple was the first computer I learned on in grade school. It was the "Apple IIe". Then the next one was a Mac in college. I then bought a PC, for whatever reason, for my first computer. I got tired of the components failing or the computer software not working or having errors. I then read the reviews from this site. It convinced me to buy the new iMac. It was the best thing I have ever done in regards to computers. It was easy to set up. I just had to stop making it so complicated like you have to do with a PC. I will never buy anything from the PC line of computers again if I can help it. I love all the features of the iMac from the keyboard to the mouse. I love it all. It has made me enjoy getting on the computer again. I was able to load all my files and pictures to the iMac and it worked easy. This was by using only the software installed on the computer plus buying iWork '08. I was even able to import all my documents saved in Word format by using iWork '08. I will never go back to PC after experiencing the new iMac.

If you are the 1000 photo a year Dad or 100's of video hours mom , this is for you . I was a Pc. user for years and will never look back ...ever!! Everything is smooth and easy from 10 minute set up to burning movies to the most easy photo system Ive used . Apple makes archiveing and movie projects fun again with its seamless and easy programs made by Apple for Apple . I had years of photos building up right along side the countless hours of video .Now all done and waiting to do more . The program ilife is a great program for the family video and picture person with easy help menus and great results . If headache free creating and computing is what your after the MAC is for you . Seems like if you think it it does it .

The i Mac's screen is very nice and HUGE !!! However, you cannot blow up the display to fill the entire screen, so it's really kinda wasted space. The i Mac comes with a huge amount of programs. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to use them. ALOT of standard internet programs and features will not work when veiwing it on the i Mac. I cannot view some web pages because their not compatible to the i Mac. (US Mail website for an example, amoung others that have slipped my mind right now) Another item that was a bone of contention: I figured because the i Mac is so different than PC's, if you need assistance from the Apple Store on using the i MAc's features, they would just help you. But they won't, they'll charge you $75 per hour for, "Personal Training." Very Flustrating !!! All in all, if I had to do it all over again, I would not have purchased i Mac, if I knew then what I know now. The huge pro about the machine is the fact that you don't need to be concerned about viruses. But given the rest of the i Mac's short commings, its not a fair trade off.

I've been a PC guys since the late 80's and I will never return. I've listened and complained about PC's for years but have never, never heard anyone complain about a Apple/Mac system. It has taken me a couple days to adjust to different screens and user compatibility, but WOW what a difference. This a little spendy but in this case you get what you pay for and more. GO MAC OR GO HOME!
