Apple iMac G5 Desktop with 17″ M9249LL/A (1.80 GHz PowerPC G5, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive)
Product Description
The iMac G5 offers all-in-one elegance that’s delightfully affordable. Take in the view on a widescreen flat-panel display. Proudly display the iMac G5 in any room of your house – it’s lightweight enough to move from your kitchen to the den or bedroom. The 20-inch model shows more than two full pages of text and graphics side by side while the dazzling 17-inch provides the same screen area as a 19-inch CRT – with twice the brightness, sharpness and contrast. Hidden behind the display, you’ll find the entire computer: central processing unit (CPU), logic board, hard drive, speakers, microphone and power supply. But you’ll actually find that the computer just fades away as you organize music and photos, or compose tunes and edit movies with the iLife suite of integrated applications for your digital lifestyle. What’s more, since the iMac is wireless-ready, you don’t even have to place it near a phone jack. Simply pop in an AirPort Extreme Card (optional), hook up an AirPort Express to your DSL connection or cable modem, and you can surf the Internet wirelessly, listen to tunes in another room and print remotely.

CustomerReviews
fabolous design
Looks like a mini Ipod!! Takes up minimal space. It’s also a WIRELESS desktop. A must for the apartment dwellers if you don’t want your pc connected directly to the modem. I love my Mac!
this is…………………..
I was seriously put out when my family got a Mac, and I felt some grudge against it…….I just used my Dell with Windows ME. I was saying that I would never allow myself to be a serious Mac dude. Hahaha!
With this insanely amazing computer, my mind was changed, and now I view even the nicest Windows XP desktop with disdain. Windows is inefficient, slower, sort of clunky and just…….blarg. Well, I don’t hate Windows, I just don’t like the people who are like ohhhhhh Windows is infinitely superior and balbalba…….Bill Gates and his whole story is cool, but those people who refuse to admit that he stole from Mac annoy me at times.
Well. This is without any doubt the most fantastic computer I have used in my entire life. Just the quick way everything works, how fluid and smooth everything opens, closes, loads, everything, is awesome. All the programs are so cool and they all build on each other and……hard to describe, but Windows could never make anything close to this. The nice wide and flat screen makes everything wondrous to look at and gives you a feeling of plenty of space and relaxation. The computer takes up so little space and is very efficient. Yeah….I would never go back to Windows……..the ONLY problem is that games for Macs are not always as readily available as games for Windows.
anyway.
buy apple care!
We have always have had a Mac, from a “performa” to a G5 powermac, we love the operating system and the design, but our imac has been in for repairs twice {in 6 months}we still recomend apples , but are not always happy with the Apple Store- And that is another story.
Huge Improvement!
This new Apple iMac G5 17″ Desktop has improved from those iMac G3. Don’t you remember those Apple iMac G3’s with all those colors. I loved that PC because it looked so cool and sleek but back then I would have never bought a Apple. I love Apple now and I think this is one of Apple’s best desktops. 17″ of pure beauty and if you want even better beauty go with the 20″. 1.80GHz is okay speed (nothing special). 80 gigabytes is not enough and you should upgrade to like 250GB. DVD-RW drive is nice and you can burn tons of movies. I heard that Apple designed this from the Apple iPod and it looks kind of like it. I just love how Apple designs their computers. Mac OS X is the best operating system on the market right now and it’s on this PC. Check out the specifications.

Why would you go back to a PC.Seriously.
I recieved a iMac for Christmas and I have been BLISSFULLY happy with it.No blue screen of death,great monitor-the first thing people comment on when they see it, always.
iLife is great,there is at least one thing in iLife that helps make your life easier.It makes a LOT of things easier.I love the fact that burning CD’s is a snap with this computer, since iTunes comes pre-loaded on the iMac(no downloading it like you would have to do if you had a PC!)
