PowerMac, iMac reviews


ComputerWorld has posted a glowing . "The updated desktop boosts its already impressive credentials with some nifty tricks, user-friendly features, and the odd gimmick." Columnist Stephen Wildstrom has one key criticism, however: "The only serious flaw in the new iMac is that the Power PC-based G5 processor is showing its age," he writes. Wildstrom also points out that TV connectivity is a bit lacking at this point due to technical limitations in the cable industry.
