Advantages: The system as a whole
Disadvantages: The video card could have been better for gamers
This is a wonderful device. I've always been a fan of Apple and this is the ideal Apple for me. No more hassle with virus scanners, spyware / adware and all that sort of things. The device is so quiet that you sometimes still ask yourself whether it is on.
It has a 4 GB Ram memory, which I can highly recommended. My father has a 2 GB in his 20-inch iMac, but the problem is that the memory gets full very quickly, and so the speed runs backwards. My 4 GB Ram memory has never been completely full. (I use Everest Ultimate to check my Ram memory).
The screen is wonderful to see and it is perfectly calibrated by Apple itself. It has a 256 MB ATI video card. This isn't one of the best video cards on the market, but it can handle everything I need to do. So if you're working with a lot of 3D or you play many games on the PC, than you would be better off with an nVidia video card.
I would recommend the wireless mouse, because it seems to work much more precise than those with wire. It also works better on multiple surfaces. The wired keyboard has two extra USB 2.0 inputs which is very useful because the iMac itself has only 3.
The iMac has an optical digital audio output, and that is probably the reason that the sound quality is much better than those with a sound wire. This does however requires a system that has a digital input.
For those who want to install Windows on it: It is very easy to install it, it is much easier than installing Windows on a normal PC (which is a bit weird, since Windows is made for a normal PC). All drivers are on the Apple CD and they can be installed in 1x time. Boot Camp works very nicely. I noticed that I didn't use Windows any more. Simply because Apple has everything you need!
An accessory that I really like is the EyeTV (no not the iTV / AppleTV). This is some kind of USB stick that acts as a TV tuner. This makes it possible to transform your iMac into a TV. You can receive analog and digital TV, and you can also record, pause and rewind the TV.
Summary: This is again, a wonderful product made by Apple!
