Reviewed on November 17, 2009Despite its good looks and a few useful new features, Apple's new iMac is all about business. You can find a larger screen for less, not to mention all kinds of digital entertainment features, but no other all-in-one at this price can boast similar performance. If you need a modestly priced all-in-one for getting work done, we'd recommend no other system.TAGS:Apple iMac, Apple Computer, Intel Core 2 Duo, IEEE 802.11n, Acer Inc., Windows 7, Nvidia GeForce, Gateway Inc., NVidia, Intel, Microsoft Windows

If you are buying or building a new computer, we recommend that a Core 2 Duo chip be at its center.TAGS:Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64 X2, AMD Athlon, AMD, Intel, dual-core
