  • I'd replace my current 2006 iMac, if it weren't for the goddamn glossy screen on the new models.

  • This one looks much smaller than my one..... but I have 24" 

  • He sounds like Jack from RvB

  • Graphics upgrade? I have this 2008 model (3.06GHz, 4gb ram) and it has an accelerated Nvidia 880 (accelerated to 512mb v-ram)

    What were the GPU choices for the 2008 24" iMac?

  • i have it  -_- now and i love it <3

  • WTF WHO-THE-HELL buys blu rays? if you buy blu ray movies, then you cant say macs are expensive cuz you'll spend that much buying the blu ray movies over the years!

  • @jack390 Yeah.

    And you would spend more buying Macs over the same amount of time.

  • @IAmSomeoneOrOther wtf are you trying to say? taht was a fail come back.. seriously...

  • these look better than the newest ones, the frame is more stylish looking.

  • Macs can run mac os and windows. Pcs cannot run mac os. So basically with a mac you have a mac and pc in one. Macs live much longer and don't get viruses.

  • there is no difference b/w PC and apple as they both are using the same processors. initially apple designs its own processors now its relying on intel :).

  • what should i get imac or hp touchsmart plz help me

  • My friend just got his 27" iMac so he sold me his 24" model for $500 (US dollars). It came with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 2GB of RAM and no hard drive. The hard drive was just $60 to get it replaced and $30 for Snow leopard, and I upgraded to 4GB of RAM for $50. So total investment was $640 for a machine that once cost $2000 and still works GREAT!

  • @csos95 Macs are made with the exact same parts as pcs, just older and less powerful parts, just like mac owners brains compare to those who use pcs. You have no idea what you are on about. Noob.

  • @FocconMc if you'll notice i said nothing about trojans

    written by alienware m15x and late 2008 imac user

  • @csos95 i meant parts,damn

  • i just brought this for 150 uk pounds (around 300 dollars) working, just needed ram removing, and then password bypass cos single user mode etc was disable by old sysadmin....bargain of the year or what?

  • i got the 2tb 27 (late 09) imac

  • Macs suck

  • listen to mac people talk about how big there screen is, haha get a pc and plug it in to anything unlike a mac. damn fools :P

  • @jSNATCHGRABv naaaaahh i still prefer my imac 27 inch over my alienware ALX with a 32 inch

  • do mac users pretend win 7 doesent exsist? coz it doese and its awsome! i got a phenom quad core 9650 with 4 gigs of ram and a gtx 295 in a coolermaster with a 24 inch lcd for $600. how much did your piece of shit mac cost? oh but its ok coz it has a fancy apple on it that lights up :P fkn fools haha

  • Enjoy buying and updating your PC anti-virus and registry, trojan software. Microsoft know that Apple machines have all ways come up with the best ideas and designs; high quality and such. Apples are impentrable. I'll be getting one very soon! If you what a "Koren $6000 car", you get just that. o)

  • @jSNATCHGRABv have fun with trojans

  • @csos95 wooo i have fun with trojan in the bed with my girl lol. so i gave my computer a trojan so it can have fun with my other computer!!!

  • So its a laptop without a keyboard and a bigger screen?

  • Can the Imac be used as a monitor? I wanted to hook up my PS3 to it.

  • yes. you need the dr bott digital video link though.

  • NO! ONLY THE 27" WORKS AS A DISPLAY!!!

  • Why do that? Just curios.. are you rich?? :P

  • i bought this 4 weeks ago and its the fukn besttt!!!

  • херня

  • Comment removed

  • it's the best fucking computer on earth! left windows after a decade never going back fuck windows and it's crash dummie computer ox rules

  • can someone plz tell me the exact height and width of this baby?

  • the ones who's using apple is fucking retarted and spoiled to see that mac is an overpriced piece of shit, and its just flashy

  • Jealous? Cant Afford?

    Yes.

  • @JamesJ008 my pc costs more and im not jelous of something with no useful advantage to a pc

  • @JamesJ008 I prefer spending half of the cash for the same and/or better specs. Oh, and I like playing games too.

  • @JamesJ008 I can afford, since my wages are more than high, but, sincerely....it doesn't cost that much, they're pulling your leg. For half the price you can get more power, better everything, blu-ray reader, etc...I can buy it, of course I can, I just don't think it's worth it. It's stupid to spend money in something that you know costs much less. The OS is the inly good thing it has, that's it

  • Well I don't care if the mac is not as advanced for games as vista but who would play games on it. If I wanted to play games I would play on my xbox360 or ps3 but otherwise windows sucks bad infront of mac or mac book or any apple device

  • Some idiot wrote:

    "windows vista with sp you can get 64 bit option, mac os is still 32 bit"

    OS X Snow Leopard is 64bit.. so get your facts straight before you comment.

    Vista is a piece of shit, no matter 32 or 64 bits.. Windows 7 is much much better, so we hope for and should make my life better in the office once we upgrade..

    For now I will go back to enjoy my full 64bit OS X environment and crack open a beer :-)

  • i have that computer :)

  • am a really big fan of apple i have a macbook pro 17 inch with 2.53 ghz and the new one of imac with3.06 ghz becausr

  • I was gonna get this 24" imac. I heard a lot of things like it good for media and making websites. i also make beats aswell which i herd this could be usefull. But people say you got to be a idiot to buy 1 . is this true

  • well if you make beats, its good. only thing is that its not expandable like a mac pro and especially like a audio pc ... audio PCs are highly expandable.

    but if you are using a firewire hardware keyboard like yamaha motif xs and a firewire soundcard, you can only plug with a hub.

    pcs are way ahead of macs...now we have core i7 laptops...mac laptops are still core2 duo, lol.

    windows vista with sp you can get 64 bit option, mac os is still 32 bit.

    tweaked win is better than a mac for music

  • it doesnt matter if pcs have better hardware, its not like theyre actually so much faster. You dont hear anyone complains about their macs being slow.

    a 2000$ dollar PC is not exactly faster than a 2000$ mac. It may be more high-tech and have awesome updated hardware, but it doesn't make said PCs obviously faster than mid-high level macs.

  • its not just the hardware, windows OS can also be tweaked for music/video production. that's why OPEN LABS sells a whole brand of professional keyboards that beat any mac.

  • There is no i7 for the laptop (at least a laptop version, you can put a desktop chip in it, but it will not be energy efficient.). Also os x on a 64bit/ 32bit hybrid since tiger. I do have to agree with you for expandability.

  • lol energy efficient! haha who gives a fuck :P

  • The iMac 24'' is nice. You have 1 TB but if you want to play alot of games you might have to get the Windows Vista and the iMac has only a little games unlike for the vista but overall the iMac 2.8 Ghz and 3.06 Ghz are awesome

  • I have the laptop version of that with the 17 inch screen with 4 gigs of RAM and with the Beta of Win 7 i played a slew of PC games plus a handful of MMOs and it worked just fine with me.

  • ya and you only paid 20k :)

  • my new mac pro has 4TB of hard disk space,

    32 Gigs of memory,

    has 8 cores or equivalent to 2 quadcores

    the name of the processor is "intel xeon nehalem"

    and has 4 PCI-E slots!

  • I compared the iMac 24 3.06 Ghz with the upgraded RAM and video card costing $5509. I compared the same hardware to build my own pc with Vista 64 bit. With the exact same performing parts i made it with $2200, saving $3309!

    You gotta be a retard to buy a mac computer and if you already have , all i can say is hahahhahahahahaha!

  • an imac dose not cost $5509 even with full ram upgrade

  • you spec'd an imac for 5500 and you are calling other people retarded?

    the apple display alone is worth the extra. not having to run vista? priceless.

  • Yeah, look at where im from, not the USA. i'm from AUS. Prices are different. But i guess people who use apple products are too stupid to begin with to figgure out basic things like clicking profiles for basic info.

  • ...or other basic things like spelling? what do you _figure_?

  • I "figure" we have a spelling nazi on our hands ;)

  • who is "we" that you are referring to. you actually share your hands with other people? that is odd.

    anyway, the apple display is far superior than whatever garbage you spec'd and the freedom from microsoft alone is worth the extra.

    apples are expensive, but they are better computers that whatever garbage you are used to. we don't expect anything more from you, you are descended from rapists and murderers after all.

    all in fun auz.

  • Apple have superior display huh? lol. I use a Sapphire HD4870x2 on a U2410 24' monitor with 1920x1200 resolution.

    My system: Q9550 CPU OC'd to 3.6 GHz, 8 GBs of DDR3 1600Mhz RAM and 2 750GB 7200rpm HDDs. I paid ~$2600. You have no understanding to what hardware makes a good computer.

    My system alone is 3-4 time faster than any iMac computer. I could run a Mac OS but its too simple, just like you.

    FYI, moved from US to AUS, calling an American or anyone a rapists and murderer is just pathetic.

  • the U2410 is alright, but it sells for 900ASD. if you spent 2600 on a system, or 2200 like you said earlier that is better for you than the imac, that is wonderful, especially if you have a nice display. I wasn't trying to say otherwise, I was actually saying that yes, apple computers are expensive, but for the display and the lack of windows, that is worth it for some people.

    clearly you have more time than money or balls, that's fine too.

    I hope you get the rapists thing figurred out soon.

  • by the way, that is some top notch video work on your page there. don't bother checking mine. I only have a pc so I don't bother making videos because they end up all shitty.

  • Awesome.

  • fuckwit.

  • and Murderers and rapests have something to do with Macs..sorry i guess i confuse easy o.o

  • @FocconMc pc's don't last anywhere as long as macs.... so i give your pc about 8 months to become a useless piece of crap.

  • k look dumbasses this is a vid for an IMAC!!!!! not fucking religon jesus christ get a life

  • These things are beautiful.

  • Why the fuck does 12 year olds have to express their extremistic opinions on youtube

  • My iMac wakes up on its own hours after i put it to sleep. Ive spoke to "Imac tech support" and are clueless to my problem. Its starting to get on my nerves when it wakes up in the middle of the night, or when im not using it.. Can someone please help.

  • I was talking about a PC I love Mac I own a 24 inch iMac

  • about 1400

  • wow! thats not all in one and you can't compare it to a imac.

    how bout you try comparing that to a Mac pro.

  • but price wise bra

  • all for a piece of shit that will fail on you and will have to upgrade

  • sorry I was talking about a PC

  • looks great they have a big led screen its fast powerfull and looks reliable im gonna get one soon hopefully

  • The screen is huge! It's like a tv.

  • i hate when they compare the price of an iMac with the price of a standard PC with the same specs. Just look at the screen. It's a god damn LED screen! A 24 inch LED screen alone is like f*cking 1k$!!! let's not forget the ram is DDR3, you have everything included to start with, NO DAMN BLOATWARES and it's an all-in-one pc, meaning everything's built into the screen, and performs WAYY better.

  • its lcd bra

  • its an overpriced fucking ipod!

  • you're obviously a 12 years old kid..

  • hahah guess again you douche bag.

  • just look at your fucking username LOLLLLL

    what do you even know about computers? and iMacs in particular?

    PCs are good for what they were made to do.. and Macs are the same. They aren't overpriced since they're are built with specialized components to do media and music production

    Get laid and get a life, dude. people who complain about computers are fucking nerds who play runescape LOL

  • Benchmarks are generally better on a mac, you have a 24"  LED 1200p 24 screen. it RARELY crashes and you can only have a FEW viruses and the OS doesn't use power and RAM at ALL and everything in it is very fast-clocked so you can do your tasks faster. If you want a gaming computer though, the mac is not for you.

    Not THAT overpriced, i must say...

  • Different products and uses fuckface.

  • I fucked your mom in the face! :)

  • I gave skull fucking a new meaning, I drilled a hole in that fuckers skull and pounded that shit and came all over him.

    And kid, grow the fuck up, anyone can use an insult like we just used, it takes a creative mind to create new and more fucked insults than before.

  • Well Allah is a fucked insult to humanity. Islam is a piece of shit my dog took. Religion is human error at its finest.

  • Now you're getting it, but new level, hate on specific religions like the major ones, christians and those fuckers.

    And racial slurs if their complex enough.

  • Christians are fucking bigots. And white people are albinos with with fucked up eyes and piss colored hair who were thrown into Europe by their African superiors. Hence the little man syndrome they posses today!

  • And if there is a god, retards are his idea of saying "fuck you".

    He doesnt love you, and women got man thrown out of Eden because they couldnt keep their hands off the one thing they couldnt touch.

  • @KirbyPwnz13 you fucking spear throwing negro

  • @Th3Brit Is the little Albino mad? :) hehe poor bitch.

  • been a standard PC user since 90s...

    have to say that i WANT to switch to iMAC for this reasons:

    - NO CABLES !!!!!!!!!!!

    ye that counts big time, if i look under my desk atm ....

    Also iMac looks nice, is powerfull and works like a charm.

    Im getting myself one next month.

  • you can get a all in one pc like dells xps one. i has most of the same features but it has a tv tuner biult in :D

  • @nambr9 you would change on the descision of wires. like funtionality, hardware and countless lists of different factors

  • No No, this is blatant fanboyism. I OWN an IMAC 24" 2.93. Its cost me £1,499.00 in the UK. I really like it, I use it for a mac only software called Logic Pro.

    OK, I have a QUAD 3.ghz PC, with 4 gig ram, 2TB hard drive space, a 512mb nividia graphics card, dual layer 8 DVD, wireless internet, 22" monitor etc etc. It cost me a total of £1,060.

    I have to be totally honest and say its much faster than my Imac and it was a lot cheaper than it to. The IMAC is not just a little more!

  • BUT logic pro 8 deserves something nice like a mac :)

  • Is a 3.06 GHz possessor good?

  • what is this for a stupid fucking question?

  • What is that for a stupid fucking response!

    Yes. A 3.06 GHz is a good processor - assuming you are talking about the Intel core two duo 3.06 GHz in the latest iMacs.

  • its ok at best a core 2 duo is very weak in desktops, good for laptops tho. this is why i had to buy a mac pro instead of the all in one imac. if your like me and you continuously encode video you need at LEAST quad-core processors or better, and you need the ability to over-clock and to customize which unfortunately, in the macbook aluminum and imac aluminum, is non-existent .

  • because microsoft is pc's u can put linux on it but thats different. and macs make their own computers, there is a difference between the os and the computer that their using!

  • yea whatever i agree imacs are nice...they are fast but still i just hate it when they say microsoft suck.....dude microsoft doesnt even make PCs...so how the **** can u say microsoft sucks??????????

  • MrToad321 is right. I got an imac just 3 days ago and i never worked on macs but they are great. i never wanna go back but WINDOWS IS AN F*CKING OPERATING SYSTEM. YOU CAN PUT LINUX OR WINDOWS ON A PC!!!!!

  • They don't say Microsoft suck - they say PC's suck.

    But I agree that they spend too much time criticising their opponents to promote their own.

  • nobody really compare computers, they always compre software, so they do say microsoft sucks, but the funny thing is that they CAN''T supprt their point

  • lol

    they sold me

  • they CAN

  • a mac is a pc.. pc=personal computer

  • errr.... yh I did know that

    tho apple os computers are commonly refered to as mac's and windows based computers are commonly refered to as PC's

    sorry if i was not clear

  • exactly my point

  • an editor's choice ey? Then I, as a movie and image editor should buy this instead of a macbook /pro?

  • Can I play Warcraft III (battle net) in this iMac?

  • If you want to play games, get a gaming PC

  • I have a PC but I also like apple products I just ask rude man

  • No, I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just saying a gaming PC wound work better, sorry if I offended you thought

  • Warcraft 3 = Blizz games, All of them are mac supported.

  • Yea, I know, but some games you need to run Bootcam with

  • of course it runs very smooth on my imac 24,and i also play tomb raider and FEAR2 on my mac under Boot camp :)

  • I would get a mac and a copy of XP to run with on boot camp. Compromise FTW???

  • I'd rather buy a gaming PC then this.

  • these computers can play games and gaming computers get run down way faster

  • yeah but windows os are fucking bullshit compared to mac OS X... i used them both.

    Games actually run way better on an mac than a PC.

    The computer itself lasts MUCH longer w/out any upgrade, its easier to use, more conveniant, no crashes, WAYY faster, no slowdowns, almost no viruses, spyware... and it's bundled with everything u need right out the box

    i WAS a PC guy but im getting an iMac soon.

  • Then why are you watching a video about a Mac?

  • What an ignorant man!

    Optical drives aren't "hidef" or "standard def" - the media on them determines what "def" they are.

  • Well the optical drive that he was talking about does not support Blue-Ray nor HD-DVD, the major high-defninition formats, in other words it can't read those discs.

    In otherwords you can't buy HD movies and play them on your Imac (well unless you download them, but those downloads are pretty big, which is the reason why you'd want to buy the blue-rays). So he is pretty much right that its a "standard def" optical drive.

  • dreaming about an imac its the most beutifull mac on the market but after 3-4 years of use its logic board crashes or screen is full of dead pixels so im dreaming about the mac pro nehalem 2.93 ghz 8 core

  • "...if you wanna pay a little bit more." LOL

  • I'm dreaming about this computer^^,

  • Me too :)

  • me too man...^^

  • the reviewer is a dumb arse pc users that is comparing the imac to a PC base and not another "all in one" you can only compare an imac to other all in ones not standard pcs. What that guy also failed to mention was that apple provide all HD movies off of itunes so no need to a blu ray drive,

    over all the Cnet reviewer in this video is a dumb fuck.

  • 20 inch NOT 21!

  • theres no such thing as a 21"! lol

  • I love the silver lining, and how theres a lot on the bottom, it makes the screen look even bigger :D

    This computer is beast.

  • my parents got me this imac this week. is it possible to play steam games like Left 4 Dead on it if you download Boot Camp? Im a little new to all the spec/requirements and what not

  • You dont have to download bootcamp. It already comes with leopard. Unless you are uising tiger.

  • yeah im pretty sure you can

  • If i am looking to run Protools would 2gb be enough to run it? I need a new mac and am torn between what i really need. I do not use anything else besides protools and the normal stuff on a MAC

  • yes 2GB will be enough if you are not using safari, itunes, imovie etc... but you can upgrade your RAM if you buy online :)

  • Actually it comes with a minimum 4 GB, if you buy 24 inch

  • is it the same or the 20 inch?

  • I have this in 21"

  • There's no such thing...

  • I am getting an imac soon also. The one im getting is the one he talks about in this video, but im upgrading my ram. He says they are not HD. How will my picture look? and will it run fast?

  • It is an HD screen.

  • IDK what to choose, this or a macbook pro. HELP ME!!!

  • the iMac is better than the pro "TRUST ME"!

  • If you are using it on the road, pro obviously, or personally just the macbook. If it's for home use, this.

    Or if you're wanting to do both traveling and at home and spend a few extra bucks, get the macbook and a Apple Cinema Display like i did.

  • thats true!

  • go with the imac...i have both and i prefer the imac....but it all depends...if u wanna comp on the go then go with the pro but if its a home comp stay with the imac...

  • Thanks, I already chose.. I got an iMac :P.

    Why did I get marked down -2? :(

  • i love mine im using it now the brightness kills

  • i am getting one soon!

  • He made a mistake, there is no 21".. =/

  • 21" ???

  • That was the shittest review ive ever seen, state the fricken obvious, if I wanted to know that I would of looked at the website u tool

  • sorry 20" but good all the same :)

  • 21 inch wtf?

  • i have the same imac but 2.4ghz 3gb ram 320gb hard drive

  • i have 20" tho

  • i use a macbook pro. portable and you can put it away when not using it to save space. great for small city living areas!
