The all-in-one iMac packs a complete, high-performance computer?including the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors?into a beautifully thin, anodized aluminum and glass design. The latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor runs at 2.8GHz with advanced 45-nm process technology and 6MB of shared L2 cache, allowing you to run your applications faster and more efficiently than ever before. iMac features a glossy 24-inch widescreen display and ATI Radeon HD graphics that gives a blow-you-away level of detail and realism in games, three-dimensional graphics, high-resolution photos, and high-definition video that comes alive with rich, vivid color.

Customer Rating:      Summary: IMac 2.66 Comment: I was a Mac owner a long time ago. About 7 years ago I switched to a PC. I thought I'd move on with everyone else. What a mistake.
The best way to describe a current Mac is to say that it's a little better at everything.
I'll never go back to a PC again.
Just love it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazon pricing Comment: On 11/20/08 I was looking at buying this product Direct from Amazon for $1687.97 and a rebate of $100 bringing it to $1587.97. After reading the reviews I had a question in regards to Amazon being unauthorized store and units being repackaged. It took them till the next day 11/21/08 to get back to me. When I checked the price it was up to $1794. When I questioned them in regards to this, They really didn't answer my question or offer it at the day earlier price. I am now questioning if it was a repackaged unit like the complain was in the reviews.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Shuts down randomly! Comment: I have had nothing but problems with this computer ever since I got it. I am a photographer, and had assumed that with Apple's "reputation" and the ridiculous price of their products, they would produce a quality computer. WRONG. Since the beginning, it has shut down on my randomly, and it doesn't matter how long I have used it, had it on, which applications are being utilized, how many, etc. There is absolutely no method to the madness. Instead of taking it right back to the store like I should have done, I tried to call Apple Support since I had popped the $250 for it and figured I should use it. Every time I called them (after multiple shut downs), they would give me a different "fix," as if there wasn't a single standard procedure, and every operator had to wing it on their own experience. After multiple calls, they sent me over to an Apple store, where I spent 4 hours while the tech studied my computer inside and out. After testing the hardware, he said there was nothing wrong with it, and the best he could do was send me home with some mickey-moused homemade script that would auto-save my work in Numbers and Pages every 1 minute so that I wouldn't at least lose my entire document and have to start over again like I had been. Wow. What $250 buys me. They also said that if it keeps acting up, to reinstall the OS, which I did when I got home, and not 24 hours later, it shut down again. I'm about to throw it out the window and try not to think about the $1800+ I spent on the computer, support and extra software. What an absolute waste.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Computer, Bad Screen Comment: Recently returned an 24"imac because of the dreaded yellow screen/ yellow gradient issue. The center of the screen is yellowish while the sides are not. The right side of the screen is also progressively darker than the middle or the left side. The yellowish tint is most noticeable on a white background mainly a webpage or word document with lots of white. It is noticeable on other colors as well, very disappointing for graphics or photo work. The yellow tint takes up 1/3 of the center of the screen, very very annoying and inaccurate. If you have a sharp eye for details or need the computer for color sensitive work then you may not want this computer. I also noticed this problem at several mac and best buy stores, some notice it some don't. For me, even viewing amazon.com was a pain because of the yellow tint. If the whole screen was yellowish it would be more tolerable then a partly yellowish screen. It is just really annoying.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Service and Price!!! Comment: First off, I'm that type of buyer that usually does business in person 99% of the time or whenever possible. I had been searching around for a good deal on a new iMac 24-inch for at least 6 months. I noticed that overall prices were pretty much the same everywhere. I finally chose to go with Amazon because they offered a fair price, free shipping, and an attractive [...] rebate which I received in about 2 weeks time. I was pleasantly suprised with the free delivery option which showed up at my door 4 days early than they had quoted. The package contents were in pristine condition with no visible damage to the box upon arrival. I was so pleased with the service I ordered a new canon printer shortly after. Thanks Amazon!!!
