Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Apple Desktops & All-In-Ones
This iMac was purchased as a backup computer to use in the living room downstairs in a townhouse to run exercise videos and possibly stream internet TV and act as a jukebox of sorts with iTunes. It is a very attractive white and lucite screen and blends in with the other decor very nicely. Apple computers, after all, are known for their beauty. It turns out that the iMac is a very capable and powerful machine, too! This particular model is the first of the Intel iMacs produced halfway through 2006. It can be upgraded to the OSX 10.6.3 Snow Leopard with 2 GB RAM, which turns out to be fast enough to stream from sites such as YouTube and Hulu. With an Apple account, users have access to the Apple store and the same set of apps and games that are available for iPad and iPhone users. But let's face it, the games look a lot better on a 17" screen! These types of iMacs, with the Intel Core 2 Duo processors are great for anyone who needs a nice, uncomplicated desktop computer and unlike most PCs, there is virtually no cable clutter. The built-in speakers put out an impressive volume of sound and with a wireless keyboard and mouse there is only the power cord! For all the talk about desktops going the way of the dodo there are still a lot of people out there who want to sit down and look at a real screen with a real operating system and good sound. These types of iMacs are better than any comparable PC out there and since you can buy one in the $100 range, you can't lose!Read full review
product was received in good shape , I purchased it for parts for another intel iMac 2006 i changed the hard drive and it still made the same noise mine didn't make noise just the screen had line on one side so i just changed out the screen and everything worked great,and i still have one for parts. I am also learning how to work on mac products.
Well pleased with this Imac. It is quiet, fast and sleek.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Great buy worth the money I spent. Computer well kept and maintained still works like a brand new one. Even if it's an older model Apple still ranks top #1 for me.
This computer runs great and shows little to no signs of its age. Loads photos and videos perfectly for what I need it to do. I am very pleased.
