iMac (mid 2010) Core i3 review
There's nothing outwardly different about the new iMacs Apple just released last Tuesday, but the hardware underneath that familiar aluminum chassis has gotten faster -- particularly on the low end, where a new 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor and discrete ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics chip have taken over for the previous gen's 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo and integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400m. That's a big boost -- Apple claims the new version is some 50 percent faster -- and so we actually turned down the hot-rod 27-inch 2.93GHz Core i7 iMac in favor of a stock $1,199 21.5-inch Core i3 when it came time to pick up a review unit. We wanted to see just how much bang Apple's delivering for the entry-level buck, and we weren't disappointed when the tests came back. Read on for the full review!
Positive review of the iMac and Mac Pro
Julio Ojeda-Zapata reviewed both the new 24 inch iMac and Mac Pro for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He generally liked what he saw and lists the usual positive features: elegant design, speedy processors, and reasonable prices. Julio goes as far as to recommend that people who are looking to 'future proof' their computer purchase (i.e. they want to use their computer for awhile) get a Mac instead of a PC for a number of reasons including the fact that you can run Windows on a Mac but you can't (legally) run OS X on a PC.
