Good: Portability, screen, speed
Bad: RAM included
Comment: Having worked on PowerMacs for 8 years through 8600, G3, PowerBooks, iBooks, G4 duals, I was presented with the Intel versiom iMac. The 20-inch is a gem of a Mac. While writing this review I am running Mac mail, Dashboard, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver 8, iTunes, Entourage and Nikon Picture Perfect. With my recent Orca memory upgrade of 1GB to 1.5 now this machine just purrs along and I really don't find the Adobe suite lagging at all. It did suffer majorly with the 512 installed RAM and I would highly recommend another gig. I used orca memory.
Highly recommended. I love the wireless receiver already installed to pick up Internet and also the smart inbuilt Bluetooth/infrared.

Good: The gorgeous screen, tremendous speed, the silent operation, the many features, cost.
Bad: Some programs are not universal yet
Comment: Unless you are a 3-D content creator, digital video professional, hard-core gamer, or a top-level graphic-designer, this is the best computer on the market for anyone. It beats dual and quad-core PCs in many areas of performance, and a lot of software isn't even optimised for the Core Duo chip yet! It is only going to get faster, without you having to do anything but update some of your software! You need at least a gigabyte of RAM, since the Intel chip is RAM-hungry! You'll be happy for 5 years!
