Since it's a single piece, combining the system unit with the monitor and stand, you can take your new iMac out of the box, put it on your desk, plug it in and use it, without connecting any data or video cables. A wireless keyboard and wireless mouse are included. Additionally, iMacs offer built-in external speakers and two microphones, plus a FaceTime HD webcam and an SD card reader, items that must be added to many other desktop computers.
Beyond that, while PCs have countless excellent software packages available to handle pretty much any computer-based task, the iMac comes with a collection of onboard software apps including Photos, iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, FaceTime, iTunes, Maps and more already installed, so you can edit photos, create movies, make music and get your work done immediately. No bloatware or trial software is included, and Apple also provides the office suite of Pages, Number and Keynote in full versions that offer an impressive amount of capability for any new user.
