    Apple iMac 24-inch: Brilliantly Designed Desktop

    Prasad Naik, Jun 23, 2009 1526 hrs IST

    Brilliantly designed desktop

    Superb design, excellent display quality, good quality built-in speakers, adequately powerful for home usage

    Expensive compared to comparatively specced PC, awkward position of ports, display reflects a lot of glare, no Blu-ray drive, no wireless keyboard and mouse

The iMac range received an upgrade in hardware during the MacWorld expo earlier this year. Instead of the previous two 20-inch models and one 24-inch model, the new line up now includes one 20-inch model and three 24-inch models. We received the 2.93 GHz model (the third one from bottom). Let us put it to test and see how the improved hardware under the hood performs.

too expensive under any condition. during these times of cash crunch to even look at such a product is blasphemous. It is high time we moved away from such companies who are just preying on our hard earned money.

You forgot the durability. You pay more for that. An assembled PC wont last as long as this machine. (under any working condition)

That's BS.. Anyone who knows how to assemble a properly speced PC also knows how to take care of hardware niggles that creep up over time. It's not a big deal to open up a assembled PC, take it apart, clean everything and put things back together. Nothing beats assembled in mods and piece by piece upgrading

Apple iMac does supports wireless keyboard and mouse. Its the Customer Options to purchase a wireless keyboard or mouse.

I know it supports wireless keyboard and mouse. What I tried saying was that Apple should have bundled their wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse along with the iMac and you shouldn't have to pay extra for it. At this price, it is the least that you expect.
