    My machine is a year old and still carries the performance of the day I bought it. The speed and stability it provides for me is unparalleled. Running a second monitor, it becomes a wonderful creative studio with a very nice and small footprint.

    I've had mine for a month now, and can honestly say that I've never used a more powerful machine. I had my 900mhz ibook for 5 years (!), and it still works, albeit much slower than it used to. If you're going to buy a computer, spend your cash wisely, and buy quality.

    I don't own a Mac, but I tried out the 24" iMac at a local Apple shop and I was blown away. I've heard nothing but great things and I can't wait to get one.

    I've always loved Mac's. Their operating system just makes sense to me. This computer is practically 'noiseless,' and just techinically savy in its design and capabilities. Definitely my favorite Mac so far. This is my 4th!

    I have been buying iMacs since 1999 when Apple introduced its "Flavors Collection" (I had a Strawberry 333MHz tray-loading cutie), then next the 2002 800MHz 17" Flat-panel LCD Superdrive-which I viewed as the coolest looking computer ever, now I have graduated to the afore mentioned iMac. A 24" glossy screen, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB of memory, and a whopping 320 GB hard drive. I do everything with this baby--and I love using the mini remote with Front Row. When I tell my friends, what kind of computer I now have, I just tell them, "an obscenely gorgeous one". Say no more... *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

    I Love My iMac! I worked on PC's for over 15 years and I have always been plagued with stability issues and viruses galore. Since switching to Mac, I saw a dramatic improvement in my overall productivity because I am no longer stopping to fix something that has gone wrong with the computer. The only negative I will say is "DON"T INSTALL WINDOWS ON YOU INTEL COMPATIBLE MAC!" Not only did I install Windows XP using "Parallels" software program, but I also installed XP with Mac's newest OS X (Leopard) using Boot Camp. Both times my Mac crashed with almost zero recoverability of my precious data. I vowed never again to tangle with Windows again!

    Oh man, oh man, what a wonderful creation this is. I, personally would prefer an even bigger screen than the 24", but that is what I have and I have no complaints whatsoever. I think it's really great for the price. I mainly got this computer for the size of the screen and its speed. I also really like the new app, Bootcamp.
    My previous computer is a Powerbook 15" G4, so of course I have no complaints.

    My favorite computer of all time. Has everything you need and obviously works great with Adobe CS. As soon as I upgrade programs I will have it made! The resolution is amazing and its fun to work on.

    I am a graphic design student and a painter. Last Sept I bought my first Mac. It gives me the freedom to create anything I can think of and I can think of a lot of things. I would never want to go back to PC's

    The IMac is a wonderful computer. I had a 20" for about two years and passed it down to buy the new 24" IMac. It has plenty of power for a designer or photographer. It's sleek and compact with lots of built-in features. Ichat is a great program where you can talk to relatives and friends over video conferencing. I haven't had any problems in three years with either of the models. I grew up playing and working on a pc and I would never go back at this point. Owning a mac really boils down to whether you want to spend the money. It's totally worth it in my humble opinion.

    Love it! I went to Apple to by a monitor for my macbook and walked out with this. The price wasnt much more than the monitor and it's the full computer! Amazing, elegant design and all around great product.
