âItâs an improvement on an already stellar computer,â says Katherine Boehret (The Wall Street Journal), referring to the new iMac. âThe keyboard is radical-looking. Itâs much flatter and sleeker than typical desktop PC keyboards. I found it easier to type with.â Boehret goes on to explore iLife â08, âI quickly picked up on how to use the new features in iPhoto and iMovie, thanks to unintimidating, self-explanatory icons.â She continues, âMy video camera was instantly recognized when I plugged it into the iMacâ and âin just about 15 minutes, I created a short movie.â Boehret concludes, âThe new programs in iLife â08 are a pleasure to use, and the new iMac is a great way to experience them.â

&#147;It has been a good year for Apple,&#148; writes Wilson Rothman in naming the iMac G5 TIME Gadget of the Week. &#147;Since the beginning of 2004, I&#146;ve discussed GarageBand, AirPort Express and the latest iPod. If you go back 12 months, you can probably even throw in iTunes Music Store, the original G5 and the official release of iChat AV. This isn&#146;t favoritism, I&#146;m just impressed. Rather than spend money on its silly &#145;Switch&#146; ad campaign, the company has spent it inventing actual reasons for people to switch from Windows to Mac, not least of all personal style. The iMac G5 is super suave, but it&#146;s also a pretty good deal.&#148; [Sep 22]
