The Bottom Line: Excellent computer, well worth the cost!
I switched to Mac last year and have not regretted it at all. The iMac is a great computer! I often have problems (admittedly usually very minor) with my Windows PC that I use for work, but have had no problems with my iMac. OS X is different from Windows, but it didn't take long at all for me to get used to it.
When I bought it the models they had available were 17" and 20". I chose the 20". The design is very nice; I like the fact that it's all one "piece." I guess that might not be so good if I ever have a problem with the screen, for example, because I'd have to send the whole thing in for repair and be without a computer until it's fixed. But, it looks nice and doesn't take up much space.
The software is probably more limited than with Windows, but so far I haven't come across anything I really wanted or needed that was not available for Mac. It is possible to run Windows on the Mac, but I can't comment on that since I've never done it.
One small con I found is that the USB ports on the keyboard don't seem to work as well as the ones on the computer itself. I plugged my digital camera into a port on the keyboard and it wouldn't load all my pictures onto the computer, it only got part of them. I had no problem at all when I plugged it into the back of the computer, though.
Overall I love this computer and would definitely recommend it. The price is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it!
