Admittedly my 'old' C2D does feel a bit ploddy starting some apps, especially MS Office, but is pretty good once they're running. This i5 SSD is far and away the fastest computer I've used - clicked Excel, one, one and bit seconds - up and running. > I wonder if the current iMacs are at least as snappy as my old 4G5? > It's not just snappy - they are nice to look at (YMMV), convenient with good screen (although again, not for all).

As for the, whatsit, Magic Mouse (who > dreams up those names..), I really really like it. Me too, but like I say, they're a bit Marmite.
