800MHz PowerPC G4, 256MB, 80GB, DVD-R/CDRW, Mac OS X, 17" TFT - MPN: M8812LLA See Product Details
Description
The view is perfect, whatever your project. An amazing 20-inch widescreen display that can show more than two full pages of text and graphics side by side; a dazzling 17-inch widescreen display that offers the same screen area as a 19-inch CRT; a compact 15-inch display that delivers nearly the same viewable area as bulky 17-inch CRT displays ? with twice the brightness, sharpness and contrast. Remarkably, they all have the same small footprint (just 10.6 inches in diameter). Thanks to some nifty hardware engineering, the iMac?s dome-shaped base houses the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, optical drive and power supply. Fact is, inside this easy-to-use system, you?ll find everything you need to make movies, burn your own music CDs and DVDs and manage your digital photo albums. There?s even a music store that lets you sample, buy and download your favorite music in digital format. And because it takes up such little space, you can put your iMac in places where you previously might not have considered keeping a computer, like your bedroom, living room or kitchen ? just about wherever, in fact, you?d like to use it. What?s more, since the iMac is wireless-ready, you don?t even have to place it near a phone jack. Simply pop in an AirPort Extreme Card, hook up an AirPort Extreme Base Station to your phone line, DSL connection or cable modem, and you can surf the Internet wirelessly.

Strengths: Elegant time-savings user interface and applications; iApps; great 17" screen -- especially helpful is that can be easily moved
Weakness: Some IT managers still don't want to support the Mac. They don't understand that it requires very little support and can lower IT costs.
I switched to the Mac after 6 years on the Wintel platform. I consumed untold hours of IT support using Msft Windows and related products. If you and your IT department value your time, this is currently the world's most cost-effective computing platform. You'll even enjoy using it.
Strengths: Fun to use! All those fabulous free iApplications are pre-installed: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD. The 'swivel'-screen is a big plus! The display is gorgeous!
Weakness: None!
With all the included useful free software from Apple, this 'flat' iMac has been fun from the very beginning! For anyone who likes to 'work' with music, pictures, and even home-made movies, this is the machine to have.
Strengths: The iMac G4 obviously offers the powerful, Pentiem 4 crushing G4 Processor. Mac OS X, the latest Macintosh operating system. Mac OS X has the features and power PC users dream of. It is fast, easy to use, and powerful.
This computer would be a great computer for a switcher. It has a beautiful design. It has a high quality display. I would recommend this computer to everyone.
Strengths: Fast! User Friendly! Can do Anything!
Weakness: None!
I love this computer! The other day I burnt my first DVD and it was as simple as point and click. The screen is the sharpest one ive ever seen. Its a million times better than any PC on the market and then some! It just keeps surprising me every day :)
Strengths: Everything possible
Weakness: None
Best computer that I've ever seen. Works as advertized. After I tried it, I packed away my HP and decied to stick with Apple forever. Blazing fast computer.
Strengths: Supercomputer Fast, does over 1 billion calculations at only 800 MHZ! Easy to use Virus proof operating system!
Weakness: Only has about 10,000 applications, not as amny as old-fashioned Window based Computers
Has the clearest, brightest, thinest flat screen I've ever seen. Includes all the applications you need for digital movie editing, photography, tunes and most office files. Apple works allows you to save as Exel & MS Word files, so you don't really have to buy Micro Soft Office for Mac if you don't want to!

Apple iMac M8812LLA Desktop
Strengths: The computer is absolutely incredible. See the comments below.
Weakness: A little highly priced, but well worth the extra cost.
An incredible computer. Small, sleek, stylish and extremely well built. If you don'k know about Apple computers find out before you make the mistake of buying an Intel PC with Mr. Gates inferior XP system. Does everything well. FAST, fast, fast. Leaves the intel chips in the dust. Never crashes, no viruses and no maintainence. Macs never break down. The software IPhoto, ITunes, IMovie, IDVD are...
