Advantages: Spec, Speed, Size, Space

Disadvantages: only 2 USB's and no memory card slots

I use these computers at my university, very posh machines indeed. The spec on these machine is fantatsic and i feel priveledged not having enough money to buy one of these machines for myself.

Looks:

Very stylish and sleek with the minimalist deisgn looks, Case is always cool, very quiet in operation and a nice sound quality that comes from them to, the keyboard is about half a centimetre thick and a little hard to get used to when all you've used is typical desktop keyboards but it is a minor worry.

However for the money I would've expected more USB ports on the front (only has 2) and also no memory card slots which is a bit dissapointing considering all the money these machines cost. They have a fantastic sized hard drive 4tb (I believe) and process every operation with ease

The Monitors that come with these are very flash and sleek, i do like the overall styling that apple put on all of their machines and they haven't failed to dissapoint with the looks of this one. mouse is a typical apple mouse i believe with a roller ball on top.

The computers we are using have two operating systems installed, Mac OS and Win XP, we have to use XP because we dont have logins for the MAC OS so don't know what thats like, but all in all, a very nice machine if a little overpriced.

Summary: A good machine but a little overpriced
