The Apple iMAC 27”comes with just 4GB of RAM and is powered by the older Intel Core i5 processor. What this means is that this isn't the desktop you want if labour intensive apps are the way you'll be using your desktop PC. When we put the Apple iMAC 27” through its paces we found that the Intel Core i5 couldn't really handle the same amount of multi-tasking as we've seen on faster Core i7 proces
Same old optical drive
No antiglare screen option
Additional memory very expensive
Currently few Thunderbolt peripherals available
Cheaper iMac might prove good enough
Expensive
No internal expansion slots
No Bluray
The processor upgrade makes it too expensive
Price
Very expensive
No USB 3.0 port or Bluray player
Awkward port placement
Thunderbolt ports aren't useful yet

Adapter required to connect nonApple monitors

Limited adjustability (no height adjustmen
For example)
Glossy screen is prone to glare
No builtin HDMI inputs for easy media component integration
Custom hardware options for the iMac remain more expensive than those for its Windowsbased competition

The 21.5-inch iMac isn't the best all-in-one for home entertainment, and its performance competitiveness suffers without an option for more video memory
Apple's $1,199 iMac doesn't offer the same home entertainment features as Windows-based all-in-ones, but its speed, looks, and the future utility of its Thunderbolt port make it a strong choice for performance-sensitive professionals....

the 27-inch iMac is a powerful all-in-one that could easily replace a consumer-level desktop PC. It's a strong workhorse and a capable gaming machine, all in one very slender and attractive package.Join the PC World New Zealand newsletter!-->JoinError...
One of the best performers among current all-in-ones; large display; great design; exciting potential from Thunderbolt ports.
Still no built-in HDMI inputs for easy media component integration; custom hardware options remain more expensive than Windows-based competition.
