You can get a new iMac 24" with a 3.06Ghz processor, 4GB memory, 1TB hard drive, and the new Nvidia graphics driver with 512MB memory all for $2200. You can't find a PC with a 24" integrated monitor for that price. Not sure how the laptop prices stack up, but if your buying a desktop, the iMac really isn't more than a comparable PC.
