Summary: Light your PC on fire!
Comment: Our PC died and since it was several years old, we opted to get a new computer instead of fixing it. I talked to several people who have Macs and love them but was hesitant about the price. We have had it for about a month and a half now and so far, I would not go back to PC. It's fast and very user friendly. I have Microsoft Office on here so I can do all the papers I need for school and spreadsheets I need for work - AND they transfers over to the PCs at computers labs and work. This Mac is SO MUCH FASTER than a PC that has a higher processor speed (Windows, I'm guessing?). GO BUY ONE. YOU WILL LOVE IT. It's not what you think, you can really do more with it than it being just a toy.

Summary: Pleased very nice media hub
Comment: maybe would have liked it more with a matte screen instead of shiny screen. Storage is good, thought I would never run out but alas the more you have the more you use.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent experience...IF....
Comment: Superb machine. Fast. Very. Great screen and colors. Quiet. BUT....
If you want to prevent
1. Crashes every 5-10 minutes - uninstall Microsoft Office from the machine. It will solve 95% of the mysterious crashes I had to experience.
2. Some horizontal lines that appear from time to time on the background and sometimes on some windows - you must install a widget that controls (and increases) the speed of the fans. The machine gets hot as some have mentioned, I guess because of the way it is built - everything enclosed in one box without much air circulation. I have installed a freeware called smcfancontrol then increased the speed of ALL 3 fans by some 30% and the horizontal lines just disappeared.
I think iMac does not crash now anymore.

Summary: PC USERS WHO ARE TEMPTED: BEWARE!!!
Comment: You've seen the ads. You've heard the accolades. You take the plunge. The first 24 hours are really pleasing... the Mac "just works!" out of the box... it is really good if you are a total tech-incompetent. I am not, but I enjoyed the set-up: nicely done.
Then, you spend time with the machine. You start to use it. You start to have doubts - "have I made a terrible error?" Sadly, the answer is "yes."
All that noise about how "user friendly" the Mac is? Only true if you have absolutely no clue what you are doing, and don't want to do much anyway. The finer points of UI design, the small-print of usability - well, the Windows operating system is simply far, far better. An experienced, technically competent PC user will find the Mac UI profoundly irritating. Expect:
* Higher 'click counts'
* More random machine slow-downs
* Infuriating random events (icons vanishing, other weird
stuff...), as - of course - the God-like Mac programmers
know FAR more than you do about what you really want...
* Incompatibilities...
* Unsupported devices...
If all you want to do is "oooh!" and "aaah!" at a big screen, or at a cool but trivial effect (eg Photobooth), then go buy one. I have already bought a replacement PC, and the Mac will be relegated to being a family-room web-browsing station.
DON'T FALL FOR THE ADVERTS!
