Someone with high computing needs who doesn't want to be tangled with the everyday problems plaguing the PC industry.
The iMac was voted the year's top computer and your PC looks like crap compared to my beautiful iMac.

Really cheap pieces of shit that developed in 1999 then redesgined in 2002. Many schools have them, and they don't run for shit.
Ms. Gonzolez made me do my research project on Mexico on an imac and the internet didn't even work!

The iMac was the first ever computer intended for home and office use. It was later copied by Microsoft to produce the first PC. Since then, Microsoft PC sales have outstripped Macintosh sales. Today, the Macintosh only makes up around 4.5% of worldwide computer system sales.
The most basic Mac system can cost many times more than the most advanced Microsoft PC. Having said this, thay are much more reliable (their UNIX-like infrastructure being far less suceptible to the 114000 odd viruses that attack PCs). The Mac is generally prefered for multimedia manipulation and is used by many people in the film industry, artists, music composers, architects and generally creative people. One noted Mac enthusiast is Mr Stephen Fry.
Only recently has Apple started incorporating Intel processors into the iMac product line. You cannot, however, remove an Intel processor from a Mac and expect it to work in a PC (It just does not work - different processor structure and all...).
When the Mac was first launched, Apple put all of its funding into copyrighting its processor design and as a result of which, ran out of money to pay its design team and programmers. So they paid their team with shares of the company instead... During this time, the PC processor design was not copyrighted - which of course meant that anyone could manufacture them (note AMD, Intel, IBM & Cyrix) which of course would keep the price down.
But on the whole, PCs are cheaper and Macs are more reliable. Macs cannot be upgraded for a simple reason: you don't need to - they're powerful enough (some have 8-core processors and 32 GB RAM, 5 TerraByte storage etc).
Stephen Fry: "Yes... I love the iMac. Not the PC... *makes spitting noise (to signify spitting on a PC)*"
Steve J: "I've got a new computer with 32 Gigs RAM and an octi-core cpu..."
Bill G: "I've got a new computer. I've got 2 gigs of RAM and a dual core cpu with support for all the games in the world and tons of software is fully... oh crap... its crashed again."

An iMac desktop computer produced and sold by Apple from 2002 to 2004. The iMac G4 was designed by Steve Jobs using the robot workbench in Fallout 4. Taking a Mister Handy, he added an LCD frame to the top factory torso armor, which was mounted via an adjustable arm. The spherical front factory armor was cut horizontally in half and everything under the top half was scrapped and re-purposed for use in future models. Removing all of the eyes from the Mister Handy allowed space for a tray-loading optical drive mod to be installed. Jobs found a mod on Nexus that allowed adding a PowerPC G4 74xx CPU to a Mister Handy's motherboard in the robot workbench, and used this in his design. As the finishing touch, white paint was applied to the bot and both Mac OS 9.2 + Mac OS X 10.1 were installed. Bethesda Softworks was impressed by this design and recognized Jobs for spending $14.99 on the Automatron DLC.
"I have a 17" iMac G4 that I use for video editing. It's a great all-in-one computer!"
