What Customers Say About Apple iMac Desktop with 24-inch Display MB325LL/A (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive):

Using a PC at work is frustratingly slow and difficult now. It took me about a week to get used to the differences between the Mac and the PC, but I learned everything fairly quickly without having to bust open some "Dummies" guide or instructions. Now that I am used to the Mac, I don't think I would ever switch back to a PC. LOL The more I use my Mac and learn, the more I believe that the Mac's user interface is much more intuitive and user friendly than the PC's. Also, the setup straight out of the box is easier, the programs it comes with are not just junk or trial versions, and it is "smarter." =)
You also get everything already installed on your dock like iTunes iMovie iPhoto and Mail. Once you get one you'll never go back to windows. I own this mac and I have to say, it is amazing. Also, there is a dashboard with handy widgets like language, speed, weight, energy, and length converters. Everything is so easy to understand and simple. There is no separate PC tower thing, it is all inside the monitor along with the CD drive. You also get a built in camera for iChat, a program for chatting with other people that own macs. They are the best computers out there.
I didn't find it a problem. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for parents you do tech support for.The system is so quiet you can't tell if it is on. I've got a 2 year old iMac, and am writing this after setting up his new system and watching him use it.Providing the technical support for him, including removing spyware once or twice, should now be much simpler. Within a minute had it backing up via TimeMachine.
It also seems to be a hit with other people in his retirement community. He's had a personal computer since the early 1980's so he is a Switcher rather than a Newbee. Some additional USB ports would be welcome, as would a SD memory slot. I visited last weekend and he had iPhoto viewing the 10,000+ images scanned from 6 decades of slides. This is not particularly good because there no longer is the screensaver/sleep mode light on the front panel.
Why can't Apple put these on their consumer systems when everyone else does.Bought an external FireWire drive and connected it. He never got the hang of looking at them with his old Windows box.I won't give this review 5 stars because of the need for Parallels for a few of programs (a genealogy program, WordPerfect, and a decent Quicken version) that require Parallels/Fusion that might cause confusion. We've tried out iChat for video conferencing from my home to his, and I've helped him with some questions about Mail with the screensharing capability. Backup worries solved.His desk is much tidier with the iMac that it was with the Windows box. It needs an indicator light.The unconventional design of the keyboard and mouse were unsettling for him at first.
(At 88 you do get set in your ways). Should be fewer problems with things getting disconnected.He's using Mail/AddressBook/Calendar just fine now, and will be using iWork. Also it would be nice if display elements could be resized larger (Windows will do this, most of OS X can but it is a disabled feature -- maybe in January 2009 with the OS 10.6, Snow Leopard).
A beautiful piece of equipment. A nice space saver and very fast and easy to setup. I've had no problems using the computer or adding additional programs to the system. Great Help program built in and also nice online Help and Forum programs available.
I have been using PC's since 1981 and recently purchased my first MAC.This is the way God meant for computing to be.The transition was simple and easy. All other computers should be made illegal
