your paying for the size of the screen and the tiny well engineered package it comes in. you can't compare it to giant pc's with loads of fans etc, thats just absurd. buncha haters.

It's called small form factor - take a look at it. The only Macs worth a damn right now are the dual G5s, and the notebook lineup.

In 3 years when the imac is slow you send the $800+ LCD to the dump

I stole this from Slashdot, read it:

Too many comments along the lines of "That there is a big monitor to just throw away when the iMac is obsolete!"

People who buy iMacs don't want to upgrade them every year. They're home users who expect to buy a computer, and keep it until it breaks or some amazing reason comes out to get a new one. They upgrade only when new applications require it, which is why Apple focuses a lot on new features and software innovation to motivate people to upgrade.

Take a look on eBay at used Mac prices sometime, then rethink the "wasting a monitor" idea.

Inside the 20-inch and 17-inch iMac you get a 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 Processor with Velocity Engine, 256MB of PC2700 (333MHz) Double Data Rate SDRAM main memory (expandable up to 1GB), a SuperDrive, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics with 64MB of DDR SDRAM, and an Ultra-ATA/100 80GB hard disk that dishes out data at 7200 rpm.

Since when is IDE data transfer rated in revolutions per minute?

Ooooh! And while you're buying your shiney new iMac Apple, you can through in your shopping basket a 5-pack of DVD-R for the bargain price of $33!

Thanks Apple! At least we know you're not just raping dimwits on the price of PCs but on everything else too!

 

[mpitts]

I don't know why people bother posting stuff about Apple here.

People on this forum LOOK for reasons to hate them.
