All-in-one computers such as this machine combine the display and the major components (processor, graphics chip, memory, storage, and so on) into a single physical package. Apple popularized the concept with the original Macintosh computer, and continues the trend to this day with its iMac line.
The chief appeal of an all-in-one desktop lies in its style and integration, and such systems are especially suited to people who have limited space in which to work. But all-in-one PCs often have few (if any) slots and bays for internal expansion, and cluttering up your desk with external USB storage and other peripherals could eliminate much of their appeal. If you do go for an all-in-one, it's a good idea to get a machine that has all the features and drive space you'll need over at least the next 18 months.
User Reviews for Apple iMac G5 2.0ghz 17"
Duration of ownership:
Strengths:
Weaknesses: Logic board failed after only 50 days of part time use
Overall Evaluation: After spending 2 hours with tech support I was told to take the computer to a certified repair facility. The next day i was told it needed a new logic board and it was being ordered, but they couldn't tell me when it would arrive. After 5 more days and several phone calls to Apple I was told they didn't know when the part would be shipped. After a few more phone calls I was told the part would arrive in 5-7 days, they would then send it to the repair facility, where the Apple IMac G-5 would be repaired and I would be called when it was done. If you have the capability to wait for two weeks for a repair on a new computer go for it. Apple is not supporting this product adequately. They are still selling new computers but don't have parts to repair new one's that fail.
