CNET Editors' review - Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM)
  Hide
CNET Editor's rating: 8.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Rich Brown Review date: 8/8/07 Release date: 8/8/07 The good: Along with its best-in-class design and solid-feeling, thin keyboard, the new Apple iMac desktop offers more performance and features than many Windows-based PCs; robust iLife '08 digital media suite. The bad: No word on means of upgrading to Apple's new Leopard OS when it's released; anemic phone support. The bottom line: With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date. Unless you're a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast, we can think of very few reasons not to make an iMac your next desktop. Product brief - Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM)
