Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)

The last iMac on the list is the 24-inch model that Apple revamped in February. This was actually one of the few iMacs that failed to win an Editor's Choice award.

We held back because similar Windows all-in-ones had HDMI inputs and Blu-ray drives, with multitouch on the horizon, while Apple seemed to be content with a specs bump. Apple regained the award in its 27-inch follow-up later this year, but even without an Editor's Choice, this iMac earned a lot of attention.
