- Bottom Line:
- Despite its good looks and a few useful new features, Apple's new iMac is all about business. You can find a larger screen for less, not to mention all kinds of digital entertainment features, but no other all-in-one at this price can boast similar performance. If you need a modestly priced all-in-one for getting work done, we'd recommend no other system.

CNET editors' review
Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 3.06Hz Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia GeForce 9400M, Fall 2009) price range: $1,169.00 - $1,194.00
- Reviewed by: Rich Brown

The good: Boasts Apple's always-appealing industrial design, a high-resolution display, and the best performance among all-in-ones in its price range.
The bad: Small screen for its price (despite its high resolution); not as home entertainment-friendly as other all-in-ones.
The bottom line: Despite its good looks and a few useful new features, Apple's new iMac is all about business. You can find a larger screen for less, not to mention all kinds of digital entertainment features, but no other all-in-one at this price can boast similar performance. If you need a modestly priced all-in-one for getting work done, we'd recommend no other system.
Editors' note: This review has been corrected to indicate that the system has only a mini DisplayPort output. Mini DisplayPort input capability is restricted to the 27-inch iMacs.
We awarded Apple an Editors' Choice for its new $1,699 iMac, largely because its 27-inch screen dwarfs its competition in that price range. So what to make of Apple's new lower-end iMac? At $1,199, its 21.5-inch screen is hardly the size leader for its price, and without a touch screen or a Blu-ray drive, it's missing some of the features common to midrange Windows all-in-ones. Fortunately, Apple hasn't cast its most affordable iMac as a home entertainment hub. This is a computer, and a fast one. If screen size or digital entertainment are priorities, we'd look elsewhere, but for anyone looking for a productivity-oriented all-in-one at a reasonable price, we recommend the iMac without hesitation.
Acer's Aspire Z5610 illustrates the iMac's screen size value challenge. Acer's Windows 7-based all-in-one has a 23-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution screen, and currently sells for $899. The Acer has many shortcomings next to the iMac, including its design and comparatively slow performance, but because consumers tend to equate bigger with better, the iMac's 21.5-inch display feels like a calculated risk by Apple. We don't imagine most people who buy this iMac will have issues with its screen size, not least because the iMac's LED-backlit LCD is bright and crisp, and it also has the same 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution as the 23-inch Acer. That said, we don't think Apple would get away with anything less than 23 inches at this price, even six months from now.
Screen size questions aside, there's a lot to like about the new iMac, both in its design and its features. This model debuted along with three others last month, all featuring a new, all-aluminum body and a piece of edge-to-edge glass across the LCD, similar to Apple's MacBook laptops. Apple was already far ahead of its competition in terms of its products' visual appeal, and the iMac's updated looks will help Apple maintain its lead into 2010.

As it stands now, the iMac is built primarily for computing performance. We would like to see a quad-core chip come to the lower-end iMac lineup before long. For now, Apple only offers fast dual-core Intel chips, which, for the most part, are more than enough to lift the iMac past its Windows competitors on our performance tests. The 500GB hard drive is on the smaller end of the drive space spectrum at this price (the Gateway outlined above sits on the opposite end), and if you want to dabble in Mac gaming you might bemoan the relatively small 256MB frame buffer allowed for the GeForce 9400 graphics chip. For sheer productivity-oriented performance, however, it's hard to argue with the iMac's fast CPU.

Our charts tell a fairly conclusive story about the iMac in relation to the more expensive 27-inch iMac, and also next to a few Windows all-in-ones. Both Apple systems got through our test workloads faster, leaving the Windows-based systems far behind. We also find it interesting that the $1,199 iMac offers basically the same performance as the $1,699 27-inch model. The 27-inch screen is fantastic, but if your budget dictates that you spend more conservatively, you might find it comforting to know that you're not giving up that much in terms of speed if you opt for the most affordable iMac.
The only other major change to the iMac's hardware is the addition of an SD card slot underneath the slot-loading DVD burner. Apple continues to keep its distance from Blu-ray, and of course you won't find a TV tuner input, either, but the concession to SD card is a welcome change that digital photographers especially will appreciate. We'd hoped to find (and originally thought we had found) the capability to input video via this iMac's mini DisplayPort jack, a useful and potentially versatile capability Apple added to its new 27-inch iMacs. Sadly, the mini DisplayPort jack on this model can only output the video signal, which means connecting game consoles and other devices isn't possible.
The iMac's other inputs remain the same as those on iMacs from the previous generation. You get audio input and output jacks, four USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 input, and a Gigabit Ethernet input. The iMac also comes with 802.11n wireless networking support, as well as Bluetooth, the latter primarily to communicate with the revamped mouse and keyboard, both of which are now wireless. Aside from its aluminum and plastic design, the keyboard isn't that unique. Apple's new Magic Mouse incorporates some interesting gesture-based input recognition thanks to its touch support, but we found in our full review of the new mouse that it's not quite as intuitive or as comfortable as we'd like it to be.

Despite a strong showing from HP's TouchSmart 600 last month, Apple's 21.5-inch iMac is the energy efficiency leader among higher-end all-in-ones. Apple attributes its power savings to a combination of its hardware and software working together. We can't pinpoint exactly what Apple is doing under the hood of the new iMac, but whatever it is, it seems to be working.
Finally, our criticism of Apple's AppleCare support policy remains the same as it always has. Apple's basic warranty policy is acceptable, covering you for one year out of the box. You also have a wealth of information available on Apple's Web site, and Apple's Genius Bars and authorized service providers can lend a hand, provided you're willing to bring your iMac in to a support location. Apple's phone support remains an anomaly in the industry, however, covering for only 90 days post purchase. AppleCare extends both your warranty and phone support for three years for $169, but with no middle ground offering, Apple requires you to pay quite a bit extra if all you want is more phone help.

Fast, BEAUTIFUL All-in-One. Ergonomics Need Improvement
by ecualegacy on November 28, 2009
Pros: Gorgeous Hi-Def Built-in display. Wi-fi for cordless keyboard & touch only mouse with cool intertial scrolling. Good built-in speakers and microphone. Runs quiet. Fully functional with 2 cords: the power cord and a USB-to-iPod cable. BEAUTIFUL!
Cons: Keyboard and mouse gave wrist pain week 1. Magic Mouse tracking fine but not as snappy as a wired mouse. Keyboard needs a 9 key numeric pad. Machine can run a bit hot. Snow Leapord firewall glitches (Allow/Deny Popup). Choppy camera movie capture.
Summary: The Good:
This is my first Mac and it is BEAUTIFUL. Couldn't be happier with the display. I didn't think I would warm up to the glossy, but ...Summary: The Good:
Update: Nearing end of week 2 as a new Mac owner. Still dazzled by the screen clarity. Now used to the keyboard and magic mouse. *Love* the touch scrolling: very responsive. Sometimes clicking gives a right click when I want a left click. I've run into some minor Mac limitations that bother many Windows switchers like myself. 1) Finder (Mac's equiv of Windows Explorer) won't cut and paste files/folders. Instead you must drag and drop files/folders in order to move them. 2) There is no merging of folders in Finder as well (i.e. you can't just combine contents of two folders by dragging one folder on top of the other). 3) Can only resize windows at the bottom right corner. 4) No "minimize all programs" equiv like "Show Desktop" button in Windows. Instead, use Expose and Spaces to keep things organized. 5) Numbers won't find/replace only the contents in a highlighted column like in Excel. 6) Need 3rd party software to write to NTFS format. No deal breakers here, but they're annoying.
This is my first Mac and it is BEAUTIFUL. Couldn't be happier with the display. I didn't think I would warm up to the glossy, but I don't notice it because the backlight is so bright. Love the ability to have only 2 wires connected to it (assuming you have a router) and still be fully functional: 1 USB cable for my iPod and 1 power cord.
The Bad:
The keyboard and mouse are cute and functional, but ergnonomically unliveable without either some habit changing effort or wrist supports. I already work 2 previously pain-free pc intensive jobs on a 70 hr week ... no coinicidence. Still wish I had a number key pad on the wireless, but for my purposes, I'm fine without it. Built-in camera Camera movie isn't smooth.
The Ugly:
Firewall flashes Allow/Deny popup for 1 sec on 3rd party progs. 2 months since 10.6 release and still waiting on a fix. Safari takes 1 min to open secure banking & credit card sites. I worry about the machine running hot.
Final Word: I love my mac. I've waited a long time for it and it is a great thing to have. The ergonomics of the keyboard and mouse have dampened things though, but I'm finding solutions. Mac OS X is taking some time to learn, but overall a positive experience. Truth be told I could get everything I wanted done on a Windows 7 platform with higher specs at half the price but then again it wouldn't be with half the style or promise of long term performance. Windows 7 might deliver on that, but Mac OS has a proven track record . Definitely recommend this computer.
Updated on Dec 4, 2009
Updated on Dec 14, 2009Addressing my biggest annoyance: No cut in Finder - possible solution is to setup two Finder windows, one on the left side for navigation, and one on the right to act as a holding pen for files to be moved. Find the folders/files you want in the left window, drag and drop them to the right window, then navigate to the destination in the left, then moved the files back from the right window. Not as efficient as cutting, navigating, and pasting all in one window, but it works. Spring loading the folders, using column views, and copying, pasting, then deleting the duplicates are all options too. A solution program called Pathfinder is out there for $40 and it is supposed to be very good. I'm not sure I'll even try it or else I might buy it ;-) I still enjoy my Mac but I can say that I definitely miss certain Windows features that measureably cut down on the time it takes to do some everyday tasks.6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Macs are the best! No VIRUSES!!!
by Dean81299 on November 26, 2009
Pros: Price, build quality, operating system "Snow Leopard" is rock solid and of course no virus has ever gotten through any of the operating systems!!!
Cons: None that I can find!

Summary: This iMac is Apples best! It's one piece aluminum chasis allows for a very low temperature operation. The aluminum disperses the heat and if you look inside the 500gb hard drive sits at a slant, so one of the 3 cooling fans inside hit it better instead of the HD being installed flat with the air passing over it, it hits it fully.
The best thing arguably about this and ANY Mac is the fact that these machines do not ever get viruses, malware, or spyware. One of the best things I like also is the "FileVault" option to encrypt ALL of your information. These are the safest computers, easiest to use, ad most gorgeous machines on the market.
And with 256MB NVidia GeForce 9400M this Mac like the last 5 years of macs run games with NO problem. The 4 GB of 1066 mhz helps runs any and all programs you'd like to at the same time. This is one workhorse and one of the best if not the best multimedia machines on the market today.
Forget the slow loading, virus ridden PC's or the buggy platform from which all of the Windows operating systems! They aren't worth the trouble and second or third class standing in consumers eyes. Apple is rated the single best computer by PC magazine of all things. (A magazine that usually favors PC's) they took a poll and Apple came out as the top dog for customer support.
Be a Mac, don't be lured into second class hardware and a useless operating system. This iMac starts up from off in less than 30 seconds. PC's? oh at least 2 minutes for all the programs and spyware to get started. It really is a joke now for you to buy anything but these intuitive, powerful, gorgeous machines. Buy this iMac. It doesn't get any better. Seriously!!!2 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Fine update to the iMac...but with defective displays.
by Cobalt Blue on February 3, 2010
Pros: Fast, well-designed and cost effective desktop.
Cons: This iMac, like the 27" model is plagued with display problems.

Summary: I am on my second replacement from Apple, and once again the display is defective. As with many other users, mine has a yellowish tinge that begins at the bottom of the display and fades upwards. Others report screen flickering and a whining noise. Apple support today could not confirm that any changes have been made or whether a fix is on the way. Apple is now hesitant to send me a third replacement and is encouraging me to accept a refund.
Best advice now: do not purchase a new iMac until Apple fixes this problem or you stand a very good chance of receiving a unit with a defective display, and either a series of replacements ending in a refund. -
This one made me buy it!
Pros: Screen. Processor Speed. OSX-Snow Leopard. Keyboard/Mouse...well, ALL of it actually.
Cons: The fact that I added MS Office for Mac to the purchase

Summary: This is my first Mac after almost 30 years of using and hating "Microsoft whatever the flavor is for this week but, wait the OS won't work and yes, I'll have to pay to get it to work" OS. And, when my relatively new HP 17" AMD dual core with MS XP went south for the 4th time (not the computer, the OS!), I said that's it powered down the HP laptop, shipped it to my son who "loves" to tinker with computers, and the iMac as described became my new computer. One word describes my heartfelt excitement at powering it up was exclaimed, "WOW!! That was fast! (Oh, I did have to enter some very minor data like my name, address, etc.). You see, I'm so used to Microsoft taking an hour to load up on a new computer. Not the iMAC!
My spouse demanded I purchase the MC Office for Mac software. So, it was added. But, so was iWork, which is what I wanted to use, and guess what, the iWork reads MS Office files no problem. Even saves a iWork in the MS format should you desire.
So, what's the downside to the iMAC for me? Hmm, I haven't shopped for any games to play on the iMAC yet. I'm too busy using iTunes and iPhoto, and iWork. Oh, I haven't shopped for any security software for it either. TrendMicro recommends that you buy theirs and even though the iMAC doesn't need it, it's a good idea. Well, I haven't bought any. I probably won't either. What else can be added to the downside? Hmm, oh I know...I can't carry my iMAC with me when I go places like to Barnes and Noble or wherever I would go with a laptop. It has to stay home, on my desk. Darn, that's a bummer. I guess I'll just save up and buy an iPAD to go with my iMAC and my iPhone. Yeah, makes sense to me. No more Microsoft anything; I'll be an "all MAC" user. -
Best Computer I've ever had
by mwjd299 on January 15, 2010
Pros: Fast, bright display, wireless mouse and keyboard, and OSX Snow Leopard. Plus the iLife suite.
Cons: Keyboard a touch too small for my hands. I seem to miss the space bar occasionally. A small point though
Summary: Well worth the money. Bought it on Black Friday for $150 off. I don't ever want another Windoze computer.

Summary: Just a great desktop from Apple. I've found nothing to complain about with this imac. I upgraded to 8gb memory for under $100! Apple even outfitted this with 2- 2gb memory sticks leaving you 2 more slots to add another 4gb.
Who does this? Usually you'd find 4 - 1gb sticks, not 2 - 2gb. AWESOME!
I didn't set this up to run Windows because I bought a Mac to get away from the Windows pitfalls. -
WOW!!!!!!!
by noob001 on January 3, 2010
Pros: amazing screen, fast performance, good operating system and it just looks cool!
Cons: gets really hot!

No more PCs for me!
by Ken K on December 12, 2009
Pros: Can run both Mac and Windows. A great feature for those of us who still have Windows programs that do not have a Mac-friendly version.
Love the styling. No more towers on the floor. Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are terrific.
Outstanding picture.Cons: Can't think of one, except for some limits on software.
Summary: Everything I've heard about Macs are true. They're more stable. No viruses, no spyware, no malware to worry about. A beautiful machine.
