[skitwoske]

[RyanJoker200]

[SixEqualParts]

Is this a family computer like my imac or did you buy one?

[CompHelperKid]

@SixEqualParts It's my personal computer.

[SixEqualParts]

@CompHelperKid lol did you work at mc donalds like me?

[Arillick]

Holy crap, are you rich or something? I see a 20" screen, VERY good speakers, and iPod touch/ iPhone (w/e it is) and a very smart and cool kid sitting by all of them.

This really helps ALOT of people. You're doing SPLENDID!

[santi15ful]

are you fucking rich??????????

[0xqueenx0]

I have a question... The sims 3 is for pc so that means it won`t work on the imac?

[KagiSpirit95]

i want one of these i mean i mac in overall windows gets boring

[TheFatalforce]

i realy like how u speaker match with your mac

[VipericVampire]

@FlyPortable

Yeah, you don't seem like an Einstein yourself...

[sahab999]

APPLE IS THE BEST !!! BEST COMPUTERS, PHONES, LAPTOPS!!! AND I TYPE THIS ON MY HP LAPTOP >:(

[UnratedMovies]

[domdits]

lol, its aluminum, lol aluminian

[DrG241]

I have a PC. And I used to be a jerk who would down mac. I love mac, my wish is to have an awesome gaming desktop PC (I have that) and a macbook pro or maybe an imac, I want both :D

[DJtiestoCZ]

Thanks for the review, really nice. Also I like the effect when you switch from camera to desktop :P

[MzMusic2012]

[iolle93]

[2010MYFAMILY]

Hi I have one too! How do you stop your iMac from showing display stuff lol! Plz let me know! Ty

[UltraMonkeyBob]

What's that sound at 4:55

[JacobWazThere]

@UltraMonkeyBob Its an I.M

[wndouglas96]

Why is everyone saying he's pronouncing aluminium wrong. Its the British pronounciation, cos if you haven't realised he's BRITISH

[iKrazyShowz]

We hav that at my skool!!!!!

[rotenthro]

i feel stupid for asking this but does this imac have a tower

[wndouglas96]

I can understand why you would assume that, but no it doesn't have tower. It's whats called an All-in-one computer, it also includes speakers in it.

[holymoleyproductions]

Great review helped me a lot but your exposures is too high keep it low or close your curtains or summin man so we can see the damn thing lol no hard feelings

[ilikeiphone3g]

[karatekid1982]

You mean A L U M I N U M. Sound it out kiddo.

[BloodPulse]

@karatekid1982 He's from the UK thats how they say it you moron.

[karatekid1982]

That's weird. I have family and friends from there and they don't say it that way. I guess it's the people that say it the way it's supposed to be said that are the morons, right? Good try retard.

[MekinoseHasVideos]

oh well being english we must speak english wrong..

its ALUMINIUM DICKHEAD

[karatekid1982]

a⋅lu⋅mi⋅num /əˈlumənəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [uh-loo-muh-nuhm] Show IPA

noun

1. Chemistry. a silver-white metallic element, light in weight, ductile, malleable, and not readily corroded or tarnished, occurring combined in nature in igneous rock, shale, clay, and most soil: used in alloys and for lightweight utensils, castings, airplane parts, etc. Abbreviation: alum.; Symbol: Al; atomic weight: 26.98; atomic number: 13; specific gravity: 2.70 at 20°C.

[UltraMonkeyBob]

@karatekid1982

That's the English pronunciation that I use. I was at first confused when he kept saying aluminium but i just learned that that's the British pronunciation

[BloodPulse]

@karatekid1982 Proves how retarded can be.

[davelee9]

you mean A L U M I N I U M. dickhead.

[kerduBMX]

can you play in it such games as gta IV,dirt 2

[samsaurus1]

He probably has snow leopard, this video was recorded before Snow Leopard came out.

[soregan2404]

Do You Get A Hard Drive With The Imac?

[samsaurus1]

Yeah, you get one built in if thats what you mean.

[iSachin1996]

did u get speakers separately !!!

[heythereitsmehans]

i have the 27 inch quad core

[RickTheStickman2]

WHY ARE YOU BUYING EVERYTHING IN THE MARKET LOL.

Whatever, it's pretty cool but I would prefer a gaming PC with a good videocard.

[YouGotSplattered]

1. you convinced me to buy this

2. thank god your British. I thought i was the only one wanting a mac :P

[ZeronothRS]

That costs over 1000 dollars. I can't get it for christmas. I just might get the windows 7 home premium.

[EliteF50]

Very well done video.

[NotoriousNewsable]

allyminium? do you mean ALUMINUM?? haha lol british people say stuff really cool nice review!

[iover9000]

lol, thats wats its called in Europe. durr.... troll fail

[popkraft]

Hey, sorry this may be a nooby question or whatever, but those speakers...what are they called? I've seen a lot of youtubers with them and their imacs, and it looks damn nice. Ive got an iMac and I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what they're called by logitech and i might aswell go buy them if they're good priced.

Thanks!!! youtube PM me or comment here

[CompHelperKid]

@popkraft Logitech Z4

[popkraft]

Thanks!

[JacobWazThere]

@popkraft Just go to Logitech's website and search for speakers, you'll probably find them that way :)

[Xndingo11]

[Xndingo11]

''i like doing various things on it''(refering to iLife)LAWL DUDE.WATCH WHAT U SAY

[lcb8u]

[arnolddisco]

tthe iMac is not made from one piece of aluminium, try looking on the back, its plastic.

So there for the iMac is not unibody

[italianman2112]

the new ones are now all aluminum in a 20.5 and 27 inch not sure if that declares it as a unibody, I just can tell you the plastic is gone :)

[arnolddisco]

im aware of that, its 21.5" and 27".

[TechShow100]

The bak is not Plastic man.

[arnolddisco]

It certanly is. No not on the latest revision but it has been fir 2 years.Mac Air? whats that an airplane?

[MacOSXMason]

[MacOSXMason]

[bcnlvr]

haha sory for being such a noob, but what does that mean?

[336600fan]

what did i say again?

[TechShow100]

Ha.. Haa. A Mac lover with no Mac.

It's okay...

I have the 27" iMac and the Mac Air(WHich I wish I hadn't got) and not that much difference...

[messiah0416]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT JOB!

That was everything i wanted to know plus soo much more. Thanks> Keep it up

[jellotime91]

I hope you know there's been a new one since then...

The new iMacs are 21.5" and 27" and a lot better.

[livebabylive15]

[jellotime91]

logitech z4.

I searched logitech speakers and that was the first result in google images :P

[MacOSXMason]

Mac Rules, PC Drools

[SethGaier1993]

[JamesJ008]

[arthur1412]

[peder0204]

ar u sure?

[halfblood1000]

thats soo coool

[likethepear]

Aaaaw, don't make fun. I think his accent is cute. Seems like a good kid. At least he's into computers and not dealing drugs. Give the kid a break!

[YarelyOfficial]

I 100% Agree [:

[villetou]

You did some hasty transitions between the clips so the last sentences you said cut short, but nice review overall!

Keep it up!

[CitronTech]

If that screen is huge, imagine the screen on the 27" iMac!

[nolanunderwood]

Al-u-min-u-mum? LOL, try aluminum.

[metalmanazer]

give him a break he's british lol

[w0uterrr]

In the USA it is. In Britain, and most other countries for that matter, it is aluminium.

[UktraLord]

you are very young... could it be?!

but your review really not bad! you talk without long thinking stops.. not bad! ;)

[erik335]

birtish people speak the REAL english

[franquinet]

@vizcacha5

You must be American.. you for some reason say Aluminum although the rest of the world says Aluminium.. and before you answer to that.. ask your self if it is Potasium or Potasum.. Magnesium or Magnesum.. right.. moving on.. GREAT vid.. keep on the good work.

[cjc30909]

im american too and although we do say 'aluminum' instead of 'aluminium', we don't ever say 'potasum' or 'magnesum'. just saying...

[franquinet]

So what did I just say about "before you answer".. you clearly are not getting the point but that's OK.. read my comment again and maybe you understand it the second time around.. never mind.. have a great day!

[atahangs]

dude good vid we have the same background.

[TheFalloutNerd]

British people and American people say it differently

[weymouthmedia]

Best review of the iMac 20" that I've ever seen. Thanks, I've made by new OS decision - a Mac

[vizcacha5]

its called ALUMINUM

[smittysays100]

LOL @ al-lou-min-ee-um.  It's aluminum. there is no "E" sound at the end of the word.

[Expeldarkness]

'aluminum' is American

[itsstefpapadopoulos]

coooolll

[dalton1929]

i'm a pc switching to a mac =)

[PandaJack555]

sex change

[4runnerOfTheFuture]

I congratulate you. Yes they're more expensive, but I think you'll be happier. Mac OS X is fast and efficient and very stable.

[zicoisgod]

i am getting the imac soon,i want it to play WoW and make videos and stuff sooo now i think its worth buying :)

ty for the video

[iTalkApple09]

You should really get an iMac guys because i jsut got one and it is great!

[ziaolol]

Hey man, nice review

You have a nice and proffesional tone in your voice, that's easy to listen to.

However, it annoyed me slightly that you just cut some sentences and moved on to the next part.

I've just ordered the 2.93 24" iMac, and got the Ati HD 4850 upgrade on it. Seen a friend with it and it absolutely eats ANY game that you throw at it. He's using windows on it though for games.

Nice review, subbed :)

[CompHelperKid]

Nice one dude. I really wised they could have the 4850 on the 20" lol

[ziaolol]

I didn't know that it wasn't possible

that sucks pretty bad =(

[djcripsalot]

cancel the order! apple is releasnig a new line of imacs within a week or two.

[ArchieByard]

what? do u mean actual new design or just new software?

[owenman610]

does it come with OS X snow lepeord or do i have to buy it?

[mattacrazy]

now it does! if not on the imac  (if you buy it new today) it would be free!

[sonor23]

A REALLY NICE review . ; )

[owenman610]

would u say it was worth the money cause i wanna get one but im not sure

[CompHelperKid]

Yes, it is definitely worth the money if you looks at all the factors like OS, hardware, accessories, service etc.

[Andreiadisney]

cool

[FTrain4750]

do u like the size of the 20 in? or is 24in too enormous?

[CompHelperKid]

I personally think that 20" is a good size. The 24" model is VERY large.

[Iphoner3000]

does the iMac have built in wireless

[CompHelperKid]

Yes, it has in built 802.11N/A/B/G.

[contactdavee]

I love my IMAC! How do you do the magnifying glass effect to highlight parts of the video?

[naruto3323]

world of warcraft is awsome i dont want this damn computer anymore

[100iduno]

Then dont buy it bitch, go say that 2 urmom, not to him

[decepticon792]

awesome review, but i need help. is a pc better (like faster, and more enhanced gameplay) in games like half life 2, or garry's mod or is the macs better? if the macs are really like better in gaming, then which type of mac? pls reply back ASAP

[CompHelperKid]

As I stated in the video, I think PCs are better for gaming, purely because their are more games for Windows. Also, you can upgrade more things on a PC, like RAM, Graphics Card, HDD. If you want a PC for those kind of games, then I would recommend a mid, to high end gaming desktop/laptop.

[decepticon792]

thanks man ur the best subbed :)

[blothian01]

Crossover Games, Try that for gaming works wonders!

[CompHelperKid]

Yes it is awesome, however not compatible with some games lol. Boot Camp FTW!

[rossgeddes93]

Honestly.. Who lets a child free with £1000's worth of electronics?

[rodaz440]

parents who luv their child and can afford it plus he can use it for school work

[rossgeddes93]

I doubt he would need £1000 worth of Computer for school work, basic word processing, Spreadsheets etc... I wouldnt trust a child with £300 worth of a computer.. but hey, thats my opinion..

[rodaz440]

lol maybe ur right but he could have also got it as a bday present or something well im gonna save up and try to get a 2010 imac

[samsterjamster111]

thats not really helpful.

[rossgeddes93]

Neither was this video, all he done was talk about a mouse and a keyboard? Thats not a review of a computer, A review of a computer has nothing to do with the OS..

[CompHelperKid]

For one thing, I was trying to go for a broader aspect of the iMac, hence I looked at the OS, Hardware, Accesories etc. If you think you can do a better job, then why don't you try to make a review and edit that review for three hours?

[samsterjamster111]

You've got a point. But don't judge him because he has a good computer. Thats his family's decision and you should respect that :)

[brightsidemovies10]

hey buddy nice review do you play games on it, which ones is it good 4 games ? thanks

[THeAppleFanKiD1912]

why did you get a desktop kids like us need laptops more i got a MBP 13'

[SanjayTheBamf]

Haha! Aluminum is pronounced Ah-loo-mih-num

[deluxedookie]

apple sucks lol they droped there own processor for the one thing they hate " PC'S" now there useing pc processors not there once call the untimate G processor.

[SnuffReservoir]

your voice is gay lmfao im british too

[pwntacious]

WOW!! DD3 ?? damn nice :)

[PubsteerCA]

would you recomend speakers for this computer

[CompHelperKid]

Yes, I would. Even though the imac has in built speakers, for me, they're insufficient.

[7Cooner]

OMG that machine is stunning! i would give a leg for one of those things

[echo676]

I'm missing a leg, and believe me, you wouldn't want to.

[PubsteerCA]

does the usb port on the key board work?

[CompHelperKid]

Yes, the USB Ports on the keyboard work. However, they do not work with power intensive devices like external hard drives.

[robvandam1020]

Fantastic, and very insightful review!

Thanks alot!

[PubsteerCA]

how many usb slots does it have and does it come with the keyboard and mighty mouse

[CompHelperKid]

As I said in the review, there are two USB Ports on the keyboard and four on the computer it self.

[PubsteerCA]

okay thanks

[PubsteerCA]

can you download msn and games onto the imac?

[CompHelperKid]

Yes. You can download MSN Messenger on to the Mac. In terms of games, there are some, but not too many. In y opinion, PC is better for gaming.

[mzzdrea]

Hi, this is a great review...i wanna purchase the iMack 20inch very soon for university. I'm abit confused :S....would you say the 320GB Serial ATA Drive is enough? I like to produce my own music, edit photos, videos etc..do you think i would be better of upgrading the 2gb to 4gb or upgrading the hard drive to from 320GB Serial ATA Drive to 640GB Serial ATA Drive? Which one is more important??

[CompHelperKid]

Personally, I think you should upgrade the RAM because it will help you make things faster when you're graphics designing/editing. Plus, you can always get a cheap external hard drive like the Seagate FreeAgent Go to store your extra files. (The sizes on the FreeAgent Go range from 250GB-500GB!) Hope this helps :)

[sk83rboy00]

for the logitech z4 speakers whats the cheapest price m8, i live in uk so if you could send me a link to where its cheapest in a pm that would be great ty

[mzzdrea]

thanks alot for the advice, i agree with you on that....how long is the usb wire for the keyboard?

[CompHelperKid]

I'd say around 2 and half to 3 feet long :)

[Superduperhog]

Wait a minute... Isn't the iMac 20" suppose to have 2 GB of Ram??? Unless you upgraded it...

[CompHelperKid]

On the online store, I upgraded it to 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz RAM.

[in12233]

GREAT REVIEW

DOES IT COME WITH A SOFTWARE LIKE OFFICE OR WORD?

THAT U CAN WRITE AND PRINT WITH?

OR U JUST NEED TO BUY iworK09

[CompHelperKid]

It doesn't come with Office, but you can buy that. Same with iWork :)

[in12233]

thanks.

[CompHelperKid]

Awesome! I am sure you'll enjoy it!

[damphier14]

yeah! iMac rocks!

i still hate my old computer with a case size of a house and the screen size of a building....

hopeful of buying a Mac someday..... *_*

by the way; Nice combination of speakers, mac, that phone beside speaker, ipod touch, wallpaper and the curtains.... xp

[CompHelperKid]

Thanks for the complement!

[HD1525]

[EasternBmx36]

[CompHelperKid]
