Good: the cheek of the company - rip off

Bad: It doesnt do anything simply

Comment: Bought a 20 inch imac - mainly wanted it to burn DVD easily. Was attracted by apples claim that it is good for media!!

In fact won't do the most simple action related to DVD. Apple infer that people should not try to copy protected material, but the comments above apply to your own dvd non-copyrighted items. In their rush to protect the big media companies from piracy they have deliberately (for a price?) 'sabotaged' their own machine so it doesn't copy anything. It won't even erase discs!! extreme paranoia - don't buy one. Buy a stand alone dvd burner an d avoid this expensive rip off!! Something should be done about this rip off

Good: The super sllek elegant design combined with a superb OS and amazing specs PERFECT

Bad: A slight lack of compatability

Comment: I think that this wonderfull new system which combines elegance and performance, with maybee a slight blow to the bank balance, is a must have for the likes of anyone intersted in the more high demanding aspects of the computing world such as editing and graphic design to web programming and music production. This spectacular device ships with ilife 08 which matches iMac in quality and design perfectly. Not only tat buy they al work seemlesly with each other with each application linking in some way to another eg. iphoto has its own upload buttin to iweb and so on. I love this computer and is a must have.

Good: Design is amazing (everything is built in), high specs available, mac os x leopard is great and keyboard is a joy to use.

Bad: Lack of support for mac programs + games.

Comment: I got my imac this christmas and it has been nothing but a joy to use. I was new to the whole apple concept but i find mac os x leopard so much easier to use than xp or vista.
Ilife is so powerful, video, music and photo editing has never been so easy.
Everything about it is great!
