Reviewed on August 11, 2008Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favorite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter). A few components could also stand an update, but in general you'll find the 20-inch iMac a remarkable computer for its price.TAGS:Apple iMac, Averatec, Apple Computer, Intel Core 2 Duo, Gateway Inc., HP, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on January 7, 2007HP's new TouchSmart PC IQ770 is not as fast as Apple's iMac, nor does it have the same clean-lined elegance. It makes up for those problems with intuitive touch screen software you'll actually use and a comprehensive lineup of features. If you're looking for a home PC to organize your family's schedule, or serve up media in a kitchen or another small room, we know of no other system suited so well for the task.TAGS:HP TouchSmart, Apple iMac, touch screen, HP, stylus, Microsoft Windows Vista, family, Apple Computer, keyboard, mouse, PC, operating system, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on September 19, 2007With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 percent more screen area and a modest performance boost. The iMac competes with the PC desktop market now better than perhaps any previous Mac to date, but the added cost of the larger, faster model might put off some buyers--especially if you are a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast.TAGS:Apple iMac, Velocity Micro, Apple Computer, configuration, multimedia, hard drive, Microsoft Windows, video
Reviewed on August 6, 2008In the Windows world, Logitech's diNovo edge easily beats its clunky keyboard competition. Against Apple, it stands out a bit less. The Mac Edition of the diNovo Edge is still a better keyboard overall than the iMac's default model, but not enough to justify its high price.TAGS:Logitech, keyboard, Apple iMac, key, Apple Macintosh, Apple Computer, Bluetooth, Microsoft Windows
