If you compared the new Apple iMac to the Power PC based iMac G5 you would be unable to tell the difference between the two. However, that is where the similarities stop. The two computers are widely different once you start comparing them. For example, the 20-inch iMac utilizes a dual core Intel Core Duo processor in addition to the Mac OS X. This processor was previously known as a Pentium M or Yonah processor. At any rate, those who are experiencing a Mac for the first time, like individuals switching over from Microsoft Windows or new iPod users, will find the iMac amazingly wonderful.
Others who are not planning on using the iMac for casual Internet surfing or email writing may not be so impressed. That is because the system is not completely capable of running graphics applications like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Photoshop as it should. Once the critical applications are updated and the programs run well with the Intel processor then anybody from casual users to professional graphic artists will love the iMac.
The iMac G5 was the prototype for the Apple iMac, which is blatantly obvious if you see the two side by side. There really was no reason to switch it up or change it because the design worked so well. The processor and features were different for sure, but the exteriors are practically identical. Inside the Apple iMac is a 2.0GHz Core Duo T2500 processor that sports a version of Intel’s 945GM chipset. AirPort Extreme 802.11g wireless networking comes standard, as it did on the iMac G5. Other standard features include dual layer DVD burning SuperDrive, iSight camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, as well as a 250GB SATA hard drive.
Similar to the iMac G5, the Apple iMac uses a 20-inch widescreen LCD monitor, which is clear and crisp. The high-resolution display is fantastic and works well with graphics for the casual user. Another benefit of the Apple iMac is that it is ultra quite. In fact, it is even quieter than the G5. It sounds a little louder in a home office simply because there are not so many other computers and background noise to compete with. However, it is really quite.
The back panel sports the same ports as the G5. This includes ports for Ethernet, USB, Firewire, and audio in/out. The Apple iMac offers one exception, however, and that is the mini-DVI port that is fully functional and allows you to take advantage of the dual monitor. This is considerably better than the video mirroring that Macs previously offered. The cool thing about the mini DVI is that it may also be used with a VGA adapter or the S-video adapter. With this setup you can have several websites open simultaneously.
The new iMac uses Front Row Media, like past Macs, but with a better response time. Before content would take a long time to load and pause frequently but now content arrives in an instant. Loading iTunes, iPhoto, and other content still must be accomplished manually, but once it is loaded it may be retrieved instantaneously. If you have an iPod you will really enjoy the Apple iMac and basing your iPod on your PC is popular.
Overall the Apple iMac is a great PC that has a lot of wonderful features and improvements over the G5. However, it is still a computer for the casual user as some changes need to be made before professionals in the graphic and design fields will feel comfortable switching over.

Hi,
I bought this and it was realy good with sharp crisp screen and with very fast response. I bought this for wedding photo editings. I think this was one of the best laptop that I have used so for. The bad news is, it was stolen within a week and now it is history. I paid around $2500. The last three digits of serial # is 023

Sony makes really nice machines, and I’m sure that this one is no different, however, I’m not sure how well this “odd” screen size will sell. I think Sony is targeting a pretty small market with this specific machine, but hey, apple did it with their 13 inch screens.
