Product Description
The world's bestselling personal computer now comes in snow-white color - and at an even more affordable price. iMac is easy to buy (it comes complete with everything you need). It's easy to set up (just plug and play), easy to use (one click and "hello, Internet"). Moreover, it is designed to make you want to reach out and touch it. It's even ready for the latest ultra-fast data lines. Because iMac not only looks like it's from the future. It can actually take you there.
Amazon.com Product Description
If you like the all-in-one design of the iMac desktop but need more power than entry-level units offer, this enhanced model may be right for you. It includes a PowerPC G3 chip running at 600 MHz, 256 MB of RAM (expandable to a gigabyte), and a 40 GB hard disk drive. That's big enough to store thousands of MP3 music files, for example--and the included CD-RW drive makes it easy to burn your own CDs. A 56K modem and 100 Mbps networking are standard. The system's integrated case design, in a translucent white that Apple calls "snow," houses a 15-inch monitor with 13.8-inch viewable area. The system comes with both the classic Mac OS 9 and the slick new Mac OS X installed.

iMacs are Great.......2002-12-02

If an emac or flat pannel imac is just too much, this is a great choice! Imacs come with MAC OS X v10.2, their new operating system that is bound to crush the PC buisness. I really like them for kids, schools, and especially adults who just need a simple computer for internet and some multimedia. And their size is nice if you have limited space. Too bad they dont come with combo drives...

Slow, small screen, can't upgrade it.......2002-08-06

Evade, escape, don't buy. This slow piece of plastic won't run any software other than the four year old kiddie games you find in the bargain bin. I can't believe they still sell this thing with a G3 CPU. It's a rip at any price.

An inexpensive iMac with beauty and speed.......2002-05-19

If you can't quite pull the dough together for a LCD iMac, this is your best option... the Snow look is gorgeous, and pictures can't do it justice. Depending on your angle of viewing, it is an opaque flurry of white which quickly goes to complete transparency.

Not to focus on the look too much (with the traditional iMacs, it's one of the biggest differentiators), but all the advantages of the iMac apply. It takes little room on a desk, reduces cable clutter to just power cord, USB keyboard cable, and cables for modem or ethernet. For high-speed storage and video work, you've got FireWire. The CD-RW is good for burning files to CD, or making mix CDs for your car CD player.

Snappy performance in Mac OS X, and all of the great software Apple includes... plus the vast amount of third-party software.

Provides the cool-factor of the new LCD iMacs for those who can't rationalize spending more money, or for those worried kids might damage the arm-mounted LCD display.
