eMaculate Perceptions

byerikjdais Dec 12, 2002

Pros Macs are no longer computers - they're appliances for the digital lifestyle.
Cons OS 10.2 still has a few minor issues
Recommended it? Yes

SPECS
Complete specs at http://www.apple.com/ca/emac/specs.html. But here's the dirt from my perspective:

- 800 MHz G4: nice and peppy - roughly equiv to a 1.2 GHz Pentium

- 256M RAM: not enough, but RAM's cheap these days...I went for the full 1G, which added a whopping... Read full review »

Pros Speed, ease-of-use, graphics, software and overall value and cool mouse.
Cons Noisy, lack of back-up manuals, World Book very temperamental, long waits for phone...
Recommended it? Yes

Balancing cost versus features, I bought an eMac with Combo drive, but upgraded to 512 megs of RAM and an 80 gig hard drive.
Adding the tilt-n-swivel stand (works great - perfect height) and Epson all-in-one printer brought the butcher's bill to $1200 with an education discount direct from... Read full review »

A crash free computer is a beautiful thing.

Pros Wonderfully fast, stable and smartly designed OS. 17'' screen. Best value for a...
Cons Came with a 60GB hard drive which cannot be upgraded. Apples are pricey.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my eMac in late September of 2002, so I've had it now for five months. I will never regret this purchase. This computer has never once crashed in the five months I've had it, despite all the programs I can tend to leave open when I'm doing web design (Dreamweaver, Appleworks, iPhoto,...

Awesome Value

Pros An Awesome Deal
Cons a bit more noisy than average
Recommended it? Yes

This is simply an awesome deal. You get the performance of a G4 (there is a big difference) and a very, very large display. Even though the screen is sold as a 17" model, it is actually more like a 18" or 19" because it has such a large visible area.
The included software such as iMovie and... Read full review »

Pros Extremely stable platform, handy itunes/cd/DVD burner combination, simple to use right...
Cons Not easily upgradeable, CRT display instead of LCD, 1-button Mac mouse
Recommended it? Yes

We've had our eMac for several months now and love how well it runs. OSX just doesn't crash, what a relief from our old PC! The itunes is great for the kids, they love making custom cd's. It's also nice it has 3 usb ports so you probably won't need a hub. The built in ethernet, modem, power supply,... Read full review »

Pros eMac is easy to use unlike Windows driven PC's.
Cons It may be hard to carry your old computer to the curb.
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned 5 PC ... If you have owned at least one you know they are garbage, or at least you will after you get your mac. It is easy to use but has the power to do anything you can imagine. There are no more "WINDOWS ERROR MESSAGES!" No more shutting down, locking up, CTRL ALT DELETE! say good... Read full review »

Cons The keyboard USB cord could be a little longer, depending your computer desk.
Recommended it? Yes

There is absolutely no reason to own anything other than this machine for a home computer. It will do almost anything you can ask it to, and the way it does it MAKES SENSE! If you're into digital photos, music or movies, look no further. It will decipher practically any PC file. If you own a PC... Read full review »
