Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I brought this product to edit videos for production as well as create graphics and animations etc. So far it has been a dream to work with and my creativity has proved endless thanks to my G5...at first I was sceptical about buying a product released a while ago however the IMAC G5 proves useful to this very day. Now I can make great videos and learn new things every day.
This is a fabulous machine. I am inexperienced with macs having been a lifelong pc user. I do tend to use fairly high end pcs and laptops, as I run a fulfillment company and am on the internet most hours of the day - even when I'm out and about. I normally have 6 to 12 computers running. I bought this machine just so I can develop an awareness of what's out there and make a true comparison. I was only recently agreeing with another pc user how overpriced Macs are and how it's all down to marketing. Then this arrived....... Just unpacking it was pure pleasure! Aesthetically the imac is hard to beat. I own HP touchsmarts which have all the latest gizmo's but this still feels special. Fabulous to use - I am very happy to use old-fashioned keyboard and mouse, and forego touchscreen gadgetry, because it is such a joy to use and work with. This model is just 1Gb SDRam with a 2.16GHz core2 duo processor but it brings up web pages instantly. I've had it less than a day and will be getting rid of it straightaway - I'm going to treat myself to the top of the range 27 inch Imac i7 quadcore!!Read full review
The Apple Imac G5 is an excellent looking machine, it runs really good and is quite as a mouse, Its start up times and shut down times are very quick, From box opening to chatting on Skype took 40 minutes max, The screen is very nice to look at with its 128 mb graphics its nice on the eyes! ITunes sounds good with the Imacs speakers which are set under screen actually sound like they are in the screen! 5 stars for the Imac G5! *****
I think on the whole I was lucky, I couldn't even afford to pay the price of this iMac but it was the cheapest I found and so I was slightly suspicious about it. The seller kindly brought it to London and I collected and humped it back on the tube! It may not be the latest of the latest but it's streaks ahead of my eMac and wonderfully silent. Whatever issues there have been have to do with the Way Apple set things up so I'm unable to use my iPod touch as iTunes doesn't recognise it and I can't upgrade to iTunes 10 before moving up to Snow Leopard which I can't afford to do. I am very grateful to the seller and haven't felt the need to contact him about any of my problems as he said I could do. So far I've been very lucky with my ebay purchase's and hope it continues.
