Apple iMac M9285B/A ... MacOS X - Monitor LCD display 15" TFT / 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. In fact, inside this easy-to-use powerhouse, you'll find everything you need to make movies, burn your own music CDs and DVDs and manage your digital photo albums. And because it has such a small footprint, 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.

... available for the Mac, it is not widely used or seen as necessary. One analogy (possibly exaggerated!) for getting anti-virus software for a Mac is walking around town wearing a hard-helmet, just in case you are hit by a piece of space junk from the sky! Even when programs do get infected on Macs, they aren't prone to spreading around other software on the computer, in contrast with the PC where a virus can destroy the whole system. The Mac operating system, Mac OS X, does come with its own firewall though and is less i...more

Apple iMac M9285B/A: No longer just for geeks! (1204 words)
by - written on 02/10/08 (Very useful, 111 readings)
Rating:

It was with reluctance that I first joined that Mac 'club'. I had had experience with Macs about ten years ago at school - the old black and white monitors and more inferior features to the PC. I always regarded Apple users as having a rather geeky, fanboy image. Then of course there were the famous problems regarding the Mac's incompatibility with popular software. But things have moved on from there and the modern iMac has a lot going for it. One of the principal attractions of getting a Mac was that they are less prone to virus, spyware etc. than Windows PCs. There are various theories about this, from Windows' massive market share in comparison with other ... Read the complete review

iMac-ulate... Collectable Design iMac G4... (753 words)

The iMac G4 was the first real breakthrough in aestheticly pleasing design for computers. Before the iMac, we had grey boxes humming away in the corner, hidden in computer cabinets and kept out of sight. This wonderful, outrageously attractive system would be placed on your sitting room table if you had the choice - it is simply a timeless, chic, creative collectable! As I have mentioned in many of my reviews, I study Interactive Media Design. We do a lot of work using Apple Mac hardware. We have two studios fully stocked with iMacs, eMacs, Power Books, Power PC's G5's - you name it we've got it! The studio we primarily work in is stocked with 20 or so of ... Read the complete review

Brilliant buy. I've always been a huge fan of Apple and this was my 4th apple product. Superb computer, great for everything. Really powerful too, lots of space for all your files. SO easy to use, which is something Apple do very well. Not to mention the build quality. It is quite outstanding. So far ahead of every other computer company. Comes with OS X 10.5, or better known as Leopard. Leopard is Apple's new operating system and makes your whole experience better. Easy to use and really good looking too.Trust me you'll love the new Apple iMac. We're talking a 1GHz processor as standard,! That can easily be incresed to 2Ghz! Incredible. 256GB of RAM as standard, again ... Read the complete review

Best buy I ever made! I have always been a PC user and had little contact with Mac's, so it was a big jump of faith... ( and cash ). Since owning this great bit of technology I would never go back to PC. I can only talk about the iMac as I have not used any others but to start, it is stylish.. man it looks good, it is almost an investment in art! Secondly, it feels good, there are on flimsy switches, trays, buttons no miles of cable, no ugly tower to contend with. Thirdly the sowftware available seems to have been made by people that care! I mean all the design packages that I use are so smooth easy and can take masses of information. I could go ... Read the complete review
