Pros: Svelte-yet-subtle good looks, takes no desktop space, crystal-clear screen, excellent software suite, best iMac yet!
Cons: Most 3rd-party software isn't optimized for Intel Duo, no other real drawbacks.
Bottom Line: Apple has a middleweight star with the iMac-Duo, for most families and home users this is a perfect computing solution. However, software will need a few months to catch-up.

Pros: The display is absolutely beautiful! Blistering performance, Intel chip with Mac reliability. Value.
Cons: Mac Pro applications require upgrade. Software availability compared to PCs (without Virtual PC).
Bottom Line: Beautiful machine, display, and performance. Great bang:buck ratio. For most users, 17" is a better value. If you run lots of PC-only software, maybe not the best option.

Pros: Intel processor is fast, price is fair, fun for all ages, multimedia center, Plug-n-Play peripherals
Cons: Default RAM isn't enough!! Must pay for winXP full version :(
Bottom Line: For the price, you get all-in-one, and its ready to go in seconds. Also keeps desk space more open - great for those who don't have a lot of room.

Pros: It just works - Finally a computer that does what it promised to do
Cons: I'll let you know if there ever there is one
Bottom Line: The small additional cost in buying a Mac is far outweighed but it's reliability, ease of use, features and looks - not mention the lack of frustration

Pros: Beautiful, virus-free, takes little desk real-estate, and easy to use...even for a Windows user.
Cons: Not as fast as the iMac G5 yet, because Rosetta has to convert PowerPC apps.
Bottom Line: If you are looking for a new home computer, and all your software you *need* to use has a Mac version, GO APPLE.

Pros: Better performance. Able to Multi-task with WIN98 and WINXP platforms.
Cons: Not upgradeable past 2gig RAM.
Bottom Line: If you have a lot of high-end Video or Graphics work, this machine can greatly increase productivity. Keep your WIN PC for applications the Mac cannot handle.
