Now you can burn professional-quality DVDs twice as fast as before (1), and surf the Internet wirelessly from anywhere in your house at phenomenal speeds.(2) But not everything about the iMac can be expressed in numbers. After all, how do you quantify such attributes as friendliness, ease of use, freedom to convert an unlimited number of songs from your CDs into MP3 files, and its built-in fun factor? You might even say that the iMac’s most widely-quoted statistic may be how fast it lets first-time users get online — right out of the box. In the past that number has varied, depending on how long each individual owner paused to admire his or her iMac after unpacking it. And chances are, given this computer’s futuristic good looks, this time around your first look could take rather a long time indeed.

(1) DVD burning requires SuperDrive.
(2) Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Card or AirPort Extreme Card, AirPort Base Station or AirPort Extreme Base Station, and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort and AirPort Extreme. Range may vary with site conditions.
(3) 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
(4) Compatible ISP and telephone services required; fees may apply. Your ISP may not support all V.92 features. Modem will function according to V.90 standards if V.92 services are not available. Actual modem speeds lower.
(5) Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Base Station and a computer with an AirPort Extreme Card. If a user of a Wi-Fi certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors.
