Manufacturer's Description
What can I say. My computer experience for home computers stretches back to 1981, when the ZX 80 kit arrived, quickly followed by a ZX 81 with a 16k ram pack (unblievable now) going on through Spectrum, Sinclair QL, Atari and then in 1989, my first PC. Since then I have followed slavishly the PC model, from 8 bit through to dual core processors and supposed 64 bit architecture. I have finally bitten the bullet and bought a Mac. Accompanying these computers have been the various Microsoft applications and operating systems from DOS 3.2 (even DR_DOS) up through the windows operating systems to currently a very unstable and resource hungry MS Vista.
Today after a few hours of using a Mac, I feel like someone who has finally seen the light: I am a born again Mac user, a computer evangelist again. Absolutely fabulous. Boot up is incredibly fast and the system is both intuitive and easy to use. I have not even bothered with MS applications for office use, why when there is an excellent Open Office facility which if it is good enough for my Linux PC, has a menu system similar to office 2003 and moreover it is free, unless you wish to make a payment to charity and my Mac is set up to work as what appears to be a supercharged PC.

I am not knocking PCs at all, far from it, they have served me well, even through all of those ctrl-alt-del moments for which I should be suing Microsoft over for RSI. No my PC's have really done what they were purchased for, but and it is a big BUT, I was delighted with my first proper car, a brand new Morris Marina and can remember when I sadly traded that faithful servant in for a brand new Audi 80, both got me from A to B, but within 10 minutes of being behind the wheel of the Audi, I knew the British motor industry was years behind and doomed! That is the best way I can describe what it felt like as I started to discover what the Mac offers over a windows based PC - both computers do seek to achieve the same aim, but the PC is definitely in the Morris Marina class.
I will continue to use my MS powered laptop for some things as I have purchased loads of software for it, but I just cannot put into words how good this Mac is. This is how after at least 20 years in the mainstream for home use, PCs should work - not a never ending iterative process with yet another operating system which fails to work or satisfy its hype: XP isn't perfect, but at least after some significant upgrades it is passable, but we are two steps further on with Vista and the soon to be released Windows 7. Is Snow Leopard Apple's (installed on this machine) version of Vista as Apple's latest operating system is not uniformly spoken of positively? I doubt it and even if there are problems, look at the current upgrade price: £25.00 when compared to £65.00 for MS 7.

As a summary, the PC has continued to develop like the Morris Marina (could it be possible) and the Mac is far in advance of that. Whether I am an evangelist or an AUdi fan, the Mac is definitely one of which to proclaim "praise the Lord, glory Alleluia" or "Vorsprung Durch Technik"
If you are the former you are probably already weary of Mac evangelists preaching to you. All I will say is this: for the last 15 years I have used a PC at work and a Mac at home; and every morning at work I turn on my computer and sigh with disappointment. I know my work PC will do most of what I need, but doing it will be an utterly joyless experience. Frequently, if I have more ambitious computer-based projects to do, I will come and work on my Mac at home. It will be faster, more elegant, more fun, and more effective. Why? Because Apple seem to predict the needs of the multitasker so well. They assume you will want to perform lots of parallel tasks, all of them quickly, and that you will want to move between them. So that's what it is designed to do - and to do it intuitively and attractively. Furthermore, you can run Microsoft programmes on Mac - but not the other way around. So it's easy to bring the PC-based office home.
If you are a Mac user already, then perhaps you are like me. I began to find the memory on my MacBook Pro too limiting, so went for the iMac, with memory upgraded to 1Tb - leaving my laptop for when I am on the move. 20" or 24"? My answer is: if you are working at a desk, close to the screen the 20" is just fine. If you want to use your iMac as a media centre, watching lots of movies and video, you will find this 20" a little disappointing - so go for the 24".

A couple of other tips:
Amazingly Macs come with no wordprocessing software. So pre-buy Office for Mac or some such for around £100 to avoid frustration.
Transfering the content of your existing Mac to this one is an absolute doddle - just follow the easy on screen instructions on initial start up. However the first option offered is through Firewire, and the iMac is now Firewire 800. I found all my existing Firewire devices were 400 - and so, therefore, were their cables. You can get an 800-400 adapter on Amazon for a tenner, so you'd feel smug if you had pre-bought it. Alternatively, panic not - it offers an ethernet-based transfer as an alternative (though again, no cable supplied).
The wireless keyboard offered for the iMac is cheap, lovely, and the simplest thing to connect - again just follow the instructions. It's a very worthwhile extra.
The front of the iMac is a thing of beauty - but that's because all the ports are around the back. This is a bit annoying for things like memory sticks that you quickly connect and disconnect. I found it best to use a cheap little USB2.0 extension lead to hang off the back onto the desk. Mine's a 4-way, so it also increases the total number of available ports from 4 to 7.
