I gotta say the iMac G5- I can't believe this one wasn't more mentioned- I think it gets looked down on because it's not quite as fast as it's older brother the G5 tower, but I think that it is an incredible design. I mean, what other computer company can fit a 64 bit processor, a totally serparate GPU, a jem of a screen, all of the ports, a mic, and the best system out there into something more compact than a regular pc screen? It is really at an apex of innovation in the computer market.

My favourite would have been the 23" dual G5 iMac, but it doesn't exist yet.

I would agree that it's the OS - since system 6 when I started using them.

Funny thing about the hardware is that, while it is great, there's always some little thing missing. eg My 1400 was sleek and fine, but the top RAM limit was just a smidge too low. The DVD iMac was fabulous, so why the 11 gig HD? It was for doing movies. I really loved my clamshell (especially after putting in a 30 gig hd) the easiest machine ever for typing, but the VRAM was just a tad short of being inadequate. I don't need FM in my iPod, but voice recording would really rock! And I wouldn't begin to contemplate running the mini without a serious RAM upgrade.

Still, it's the stuff that runs the OS, so we put up with it - no real problem, but it's part of why PC folks complain. (Of course the other reason is that they are small minded AR jerks, but that may be flame bait )
