Intel iMac desktop nirvana
As regular readers of TUAW might remember I have one of the last iMac G5's that Apple will ever produce, which are cosmetically identical to their Intel iMac brethren, so I know a thing or two about these desktops. They are great machines and I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone who asks, and neither would Tom Yager.
Tom dislikes desktops and goes as far as calling them, 'the muck at the bottom of the tank that swallows creativity and imagination,' but that was before he got his hands on a 20 inch Intel iMac. Tom has declared this the desktop that he has always wanted, and the perfect desktop bar none.
Apple, says Tom, has gone to the effort of equipping the iMac with everything that it needs,and not skimping on the quality. This creates a great computer that takes literally 5 minutes to get up and running (and judging by the boot times of the Intel iMacs it might take even less time to get them up and running).
Long story short, the iMac has converted Tom Yager from laptop snob to desktop booster.
