iMac G5 performs

By Barb Dybwad


MacMerc's review of the iMac G5 gives at least several thumbs up to the latest incarnation of the iMac. After using his iMac for 2 months, contributing editor James Huff lauded its performance as "clearly the best out of any small desktop computer on the market," provided you soup it up with a little extra memory than the 256MB stock model.

He also notes one of the coolest 'philosophical' features of the new iMac – its extreme user-serviceability:

"Possibly one of the best features of the iMac G5 is that it's almost entirely user-serviceable. This means that if
something goes wrong, and you and an AppleCare tech can get to the bottom of exactly what needs to be replaced,
AppleCare will send you the part, and it's fairly easy to install it yourself. Yes, you can even replace the display
with relative ease. This eliminates the time that you would be without a computer, if you had sent it in to AppleCare
to be repaired. "
