apple imac 24-inch (2009) review: Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
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 ...
Fewer interesting hardware features compared with recent Windows-based all-in-ones
Cosmetically, little else has changed with the iMac. Its industrial design remains the best in the PC industry, with no excessive branding, case detail or other visual distractions. Indeed, the only changes to the outside of the case come to the row ...

apple imac (24-inch, 2.8ghz) review: A slight bump to the specifications for the same price, the option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year.

apple imac (24-inch, 2.8ghz) review: With 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.
Industry-leading design, Big, beautiful display, Excellent application performance
Higher-end model features same midrange graphics card of lower-end models, Free phone support ends after 90 days, Might want to hold off until Leopard is released to save yourself the cost of an OS upgrade
With 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 ...

Easy to use and productive - as a mac should be.
Responsive, stable OS, compatible with windows programs. Ilife bundled software is fantastic, useable solution for your multimedia needs. The Apple experience.
Too slow using MS Office unless loaded in RAM. Easy to use up internal HDD with multimedia -- and hard/expensive to upgrade it.
