Today at the Singapore Shangri-La hotel, Apple launched the 1.9GHz 17-inch iMac G5 which replaces the older 1.8GHz 17-inch iMac, while the higher-end model with a larger 20-inch display and a 2.1GHz PowerPC chip supercedes the older 2GHz 17-inch iMac. One of the most exciting things about a new Apple desktop is the amazing design or novel user-friendliness which will eventually be copied by the PC. However, this time round it's the iMac which is playing catch up. Though it has added features like a remote control and integrated iSight, it's still not up to par as a replacement home entertainment system . ...

This computer deserves the best rating possible. I mean... name me another desktop that even comes clooose to this??? This computer is top of the line, high end, state of the art... name it whatever u want... it's the best. Apple's done it yet once again... Ppl said that Mac was difficult to use. NOT!!! Look at me. I've never used a Mac in my life but when I saw the iMac G5, i pulled my father's wallet outta his pocket and whipped out his platinum card. Got it straight away. I couldn't resist!!! I'm using it now and it's running perfectly. Not a glitch yet... U barely even have to wait for programs to load. U click it, it pops out!! I love its DVD capabilities, too... and with Bluetooth, IR port with remote control, and so so much more!!! Hurry... get out those credit cards... take a loan if u have to or juz pay cash!!! GET IT NOW!!! -- TRUST ME- NO REGRETS!!

Can't help agreeing with Tofu Burger... how can a product be compared when the others don't have any info at all? The review appears biased... Anyway, I'm a Mac user, and the features in 'downside' are really things that normal users don't require. As for USB ports, this mac is targetted for the "wireless" user that the world is filling up with... Practicality is the core for most Apple designs.
