- Bottom Line:
- The 17-inch iMac is missing a few features you might like--SuperDrive and a remote control, to name two--but it still makes a stellar home PC, thanks to its great design, new Core 2 Duo processor, and superior software bundle. Plus, its price makes it a borderline budget PC.

The good: Low price; good looks; new Core 2 Duo processor; fantastic software bundle.
The bad: No SuperDrive; configuration options are almost nonexistent; phone support lasts only 90 days.

Summary: This computer is abosolutely amazing. I am very satisfied as a switcher. I used to have Windows, but have recently grown to like Mac very much. A friend says I a traitor, but who cares what other people think, right? Actually I do. I looked at reviews from hundreds of people that bought this computer, and they all said it was good. I am very impressed with the speediness and the great display. The only thing that I dont like too much is the lack of the Apple SuperDrive.

Specifications

- Part number: MA710LL/A
- Description: iMac has always made it fast and easy to do the most amazing things. Now the fast and easy part literally doubles overnight - because the newest iMac computers are powered by the Intel Core Duo. This revolutionary bit of technology is actually two processors built into a single chip, giving iMac up to twice the horsepower it had previously. So the wows will come faster than ever before. More than an evolution of processor design, Intel Core Duo is an order-of-magnitude leap forward. It's the first Intel chip born of the new 65-nanometer process, which allows for the creation of transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With two powerful processors designed to share resources and circuitry so unimaginably small, Intel Core Duo achieves far higher levels of performance while actually consuming less power. In the world of iMac, nothing is complicated - even when the internal architecture advances so dramatically. So when it comes to running software on your Intel-based iMac, prepare for the expected: it just works. Applications with the Universal symbol run on either PowerPC- or Intel-based iMac computers. Most existing applications will run on your Intel-based iMac, too. Simply launch them as always. Thanks to the Rosetta technology in Mac OS X, they look and feel just like they did before.
