    This review is from: Apple iMac MC812LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop (Personal Computers)

    This iMac takes up minimal desk space, has absolutely no wires (except power), yet still has really rocking specs. I setup Boot Camp, so that I can dual-boot to either Windows or MacOS (because I need to be able to run some Windows-specific software for work). Running Windows on this machine is like watching a non-HD channel on an HD TV, though…as soon as I boot to Windows, I look forward to booting back to MacOS. MacOS has the stability of Unix/Linux, but with a GUI that’s more crisp and fresh than Windows.

    The hardware is an excellent product. They do make a 27″ model, too, which seems better, at least on paper. But that big of a screen on my desk would look ridiculous. This 21″ looks a little large on my desk, but the look works, because the iMac’s appearance is so simple and clean.

    This is the first Apple computer that I have ever owned (or used), and now that I own one, I can’t think of a single reason that I would want to own any other computer (except to save money, obviously). If you want a better “bang-for-your-buck”, go buy a Dell or an HP, because they have dozens of cheap PCs under $1000. But if you want something that you’re really proud of and look forward to using everyday, then go buy this iMac.
