iMac Ships with TIGER So, I just got this for my son...and it shipped with Tiger. Evidently, you need to buy the Leopard upgrade for $10 from Apple (which I will now have to wait for who knows how long to get). It was a real stretch for me to buy an Apple from Amazon but I've had generally good success. In this case, it was a mistake. I wish I had just bought it from Apple or a reseller that would have sorted out the Leopard upgrade over a month after is was released. It should really ship with the Leopard installers...

Very easy to ajust to an imac! This is my second imac since Jan of 2007. No my first did not break down,it's still going strong. I bought this one for myself and let my lady friend have my first one. We were both so impressed with the iMac that I wanted her to have one also.
At first I wasn't sure about the switch from my pc,but the more I use the imac the more I like it. I still have a few things to learn about it. imacs just are more stable than any pc I have had.
I have switched to a wireless Logitech keyboa...

One Amazing Computer... I'm new to Apple and am switching over from PCs. I recently got reeled in with their iPhone and their iPod, and then now this iMac - it really surprised me. I had to have one. So I bought this 24" 2.4 Ghz and bought an additional 1 GB of ram before leaving the apple store.
I installed the extra ram (very easy) before I even powered up the computer for the first time. This is quite simply the coolest computer I've ever owned. The sleek, ergonomic design really simplifies your computi...

The look, the screen, they are NOT that bad...actually, not bad at all There are so many people critizing the glossy screen and the new look, especially the black border. I was in doubt myself before. However, after owning a 24 inch MAC for a couple of days, I would offer my two cents for perspective buyers:
1) Glossy screen: yes, when it is powered down and only showing a BLACK screen, it is an iMirror. However, as soon as you start it, all the reflections are gone. The screen is just beautiful to look at with crisp image and astonishing colors.

Spotted Cat or Not, Amazon Offers the Best Deal on the Best Machine I've never regretted changing computers every 2-3 years: the improvements are instantly noticeable at the practical level. This particular iMac model definitely offers the most bang for the buck, but I was holding off for the announcement that Leopard would come installed with the machine. At least it would seem feasible for Amazon to offer to purchasers of this model a special deal on the new OS. On the positive side, this machine does comes with iLife '08, but the retention of Tiger will lik...

Awesome. Simply Awesome I have been a PC Guy since 1983 using the old IBM XT and AT's and use XP on a daily basis. I have become so fed up with the Microsoft handcuffs and the slow as a snail performance. I needed a new computer and I could not find one that I wanted with XP because the majority of them come with Vista.
I bought this for the kids and I bought a Mac Book Pro for the kids. The speed and the ease of use is incredible. Being a tech weenie I know tha the underlying system that Mac OS is built on...

This computer is AWESOME!! I bought this to upgrade my iMac G5 1.7 ghz computer. This computer is so much faster. It is also silent. The only thing I can hear is the superdrive when it is writing or reading a DVD/CD. Ram is super easy to upgrade. I recommend putting in another 1 GB stick. It only cost me about $55 to add 1 GB of ram. The keyboard is great. I did not think I would like it but when I am work (on a PC), I really miss the keyboard. I also did not think I would like the glossy screen but I really love ...

After 25 years of PC I finally got a Mac I agonized for weeks over switching from my PC to a iMac. I mostly use my computer to surf the net, manage photos and music. I surfed the web of hours on end trying to make my decision and I finally got up the nerve to get the iMac after 25 years of PCs. I wish I would have done it sooner! I love this thing! It is taking a little getting used to, but it is well worth it! To start, it is so simple and elegant a machine. No cumbersome wires and accessories. I was booted up and ready to go...

Joy to work on iMac This is my first iMac and switched from Windows (XP&Vista) after many years of windows experience. iMac user experience is a sheer joy. Everything about iMac is so elegant. iLife '08 & iWork '08 is absolutely stunning.
The one thing I found little inconvenient to use is the Apple mighty mouse. May be because I am so used to the Microsoft mouse.
Please go ahead and enjoy the iMac user experience. These computers are very desirable to own.....

Amazing deal for the price.. EDIT: Please note that I wrote this review very soon after these models came out to market. Some parts of this review are "outdated"..
----------------
I have upgraded from 20'' iMac (previous generation) and this is simply stunning in every way. I personally have not found any problems with it yet and my experience has been phenomenal. There are few little things to consider when buying this Mac.
First of all, the verison I have comes with Intel Core 2 Extreme ...
