  • Abstract:  First things first, this is the first time that I bought an iMac. In my entire years of using an Apple Personal Computers, I've always wanted to buy one but something has been telling me not to and be contented with my 13-inch (Late 2009 model) and r...

  • As the most-affordable iMac, the Apple iMac 21.5-inch offers competitive speed, the unique potential of its Thunderbolt port, and Apple's trademark design leadership
  • The 21.5-inch iMac isn't the best all-in-one for home entertainment, and its performance competitiveness suffers without an option for more video memory
  • Apple's $1,199 iMac doesn't offer the same home entertainment features as Windows-based all-in-ones, but its speed, looks, and the future utility of its Thunderbolt port make it a strong choice for performance-sensitive professionals.

  • Abstract:  My reaction to the very first iMac—can you believe it’s been 13 years?—was that it looked like a toy, not a Serious Computer. I mean, it came in Bondi blue, not beige or black. It had only USB, no serial or parallel ports. Its internal components were ...
