Good: I can run every kind of OS on it, all features included, including software for any kind of use

Good: Speed, screen size, hard drive, 64-bit processing
Bad: Extra cost for 3GB RAM.
Comment: I have been using this computer for 4 months, and it is the best Mac I have ever owned, dating back to 1984. I prefer it to my Quad Core G5. Performance is very good, especially with PhotoShop CS3 beta, Mathematica, and other CPU intensive applications.
