BTW- for those of you insisting that Apple makes you pay a premium...

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: One of, if not the, most affordable 24-inch all-in-one PCs; twice as much hard-drive space as older models; fast Nvidia graphics chip makes the iMac a capable gaming system; best-in-class multitasking performance; iLife digital media suite comes standard.

The bad: Fewer interesting hardware features compared with recent Windows-based all-in-ones.

The bottom line: Apple made a number of changes to this $1,499 iMac, but making a 24-inch screen available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched. Provided you like your all-in-ones best as straightforward desktop computers, the iMac will meet your expectations with speed and elegance.
