Macs do much more in less space, and do it much faster using less CPU speed as such, Macs last twice as long. It is very obvious that the article was written by someone looking at the Mac specs and using his XP/Intel brain to interpret them. For some reason, Macs HDs don’t fill up no where nearly as fast as an XP machine. With a bit more RAM and perhaps an external HD, I still see a long future with my iMac. In total, I have 130 applications (just in the Applications folder alone), and have used 34Gb of HD (55.9 Gb) space on 371,0014 files (67,648 folders) still running around in just 256Mb RAM. I have had my 15″FP iMac for over 3 years, and run aps such as Photoshop 7 and many 3D rendering aps. People, it is TCO – Total Cost of Ownership for the life of the device (and the sanity of the user)!! The author also failed to mention that any similarly priced PC will have to be replaced years before the eMac becomes obsolete. And however underpowered PC Mag may think it is, it is still more than adequate to install Tiger an advanced OS that you can’t put on ANY Wintel box at ANY price with nothing comparable at anytime in the foreseeable future. The eMac is a fine machine for what it is, namely the entry-level Macintosh which, at around $800, is a steal for what you get when you actually look at the included software bundle.Īpple eMac include software information here.įor a computer you can throw into the kids’ room, allow them to cruise whatever lame websites and email their virus-infected friends without any fears, the eMac is not a bad computer. To totally ignore the OS and the software included with the eMac is criminal. It’s the OS and the Mac-only software, stupid. MacDailyNews Take: No mention of the fact that Apple’s eMac offers Mac OS X, which means vastly better ease-of-use and security with no viruses, worms, and malware plus Apple’s iLife ’04, Safari, etc. Or be prepared to spend a lot more for an acceptable Apple computer,” Jim Louderback writes for PC Magazine. If you’re considering a home Apple, think different. And at around $800, this eMac ain’t cheap. The 40GB hard drive will fill up quickly, the lack of a DVD burner makes offloading files impossible, and the Radeon 9200 graphics card won’t even run this fall’s hot Mac games. On the downside, it’s slow, underpowered, and pathetic. That’s because for a company that prides itself on quality, this computer is different. “For Apple, the entry-level eMac really does represent Think Different.
