  Apple iMac (24in 2.8GHz)
  
  Pros: Great design, quiet
  
  Cons: Won't run the latest games at highest settings thanks to its graphics card
  
  Verdict: Apple shows that the melding of hardware and software makes for a very compelling computer. Sleek and cool-running, the latest Apple iMac is arguably the best one-stop PC you'll find, at home running Windows or its native Mac OS X.

  Apple iMac (2008 Edition)
  By Rory Reid
  
  Review summary: The iMac, Apple's iconic all-in-one desktop, is back. It's only been about half a year since the last upgrade, but we're pleased to see the inclusion of Intel's latest Core 2 Duo 'Penryn' CPU. It helps to make the insides of this attractive machine ...
  
  Pros: Performance ; design ; upgraded Intel Penryn chip
  
  Cons: Pricey upgrade options
  
  Verdict: The iMac is still the best all-in-one desktop on the market. We love the physical design of the system, and the new components on the inside make it very quick. Our only real gripe is the fact it's difficult to upgrade after purchasing, and upgrading ...

  iMac 20-inch 2.4GHz Review
  By Roman Loyola and Mark Hattersley
  
  Review summary: Under the hood, the new iMacs differ significantly from the original aluminium models - mainly in that they are much faster. We take a close look at Apple's new entry level iMac.
  
  Pros: Compact, all-in-one design ; built-in wireless capabilities ; considerable speed boost over previous models
  
  Cons: Limited viewing angle, 1GB of RAM, glossy screen may frustrate some users
  
  Verdict: The new iMacs are faster than the previous models, but they cost the same. Unfortunately, the one major thing we didn't like about the first-generation aluminium iMac €" the poor viewing angle on the 20in screen €" hasn't changed for the better. Still ...

  Apple speeds up its all-in-one Mac
  By Roman Loyola
  
  Review summary: Apple's new crop of iMacs get a speed bump.
  
  Pros: Compact, all-in-one design ; built-in wireless capabilities ; big, beautiful screen ; good video frame-rate performance
  
  Cons: Glossy screen may frustrate some users
  
  Verdict: On the outside, nothing has changed, and the iMac is still available in 20- or 24-inch aluminum-encased models. The major changes involve the Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) processor now at the heart of the iMac. Penryn speeds start at 2.4GHz (the speed of ...

  Review: Apple Imac 20in desktop computer
  By Cliff Joseph
  
  Review summary: A much-needed update to Apple's entry-level home computer
  
  Verdict: There are cheaper Windows PCs available but they rarely have the same range of hardware features and added software that you get with the iMac. That makes the iMac a good choice for anyone who wants a versatile and compact multimedia computer
