The imac g5 is one of the best machines I have ever had the privilege to work with. It's design is extremely simple yet beautifully manufactured, with a glass front, aluminium stand, and its crystal clear 17" matte display, it absolutely looks the part. Performance wise it is top of its game (for a machine of 7 years old at time of writing), there is not much that the modern desktops can do that this can't, in fairness it is behind in technology, and sometimes a pain as apple have stopped producing software for this series at OS X Leopard (10.5.8) meaning a lot of modern day software/hardware cannot be supported. It i still as quick as factory fresh, unless the hard drive is nearly full. It has its odd occasion where certain program's/sites crash or take forever to load, but it isn't very often, but that appears to be the only draw back, it can even support a lot of Microsoft software and files, you can even create files that are supported by both OS X and Windows, certain storage devices also can be formatted, restored an even partitioned into operating systems that are Windows only files. All in all the iMac G5 is well worth it's value, it's an outstanding machine and I can't fault it for anything.Read full review
Once upon a time this was top of the range hardware for apple. It's never going to win any speed or power prizes now but for a home machine there isn't many that look this good. It is quiet and has all you need in one box. These machines are also on of the cheapest ways of getting an Apple system although not running the latest version of the OS (10.5 is the last version that installs). They do have a couple of known issue around the capacitors and processor/gpu but both can be fixed for a price less than the resell value. I'd recommend these machines for anyone looking for a first Mac, second computer & kids computer.
My first Apple computer. I wanted to try another operating system apart from Windows. Small, very quiet and low power consumption but just as fast as my athlon dual core it replaced. I can have it connected to a monitor upstairs or connect it to my plasma downstairs. A cracking computer and well worth the money I payed.
l have never had a Mac before and it's a great joy to have one
