Introduction
Following Apple's master plan to move all computer systems to Intel processors by the end of 2006, Apple's new 17" iMac with Intel Core Duo processors replaces the 17" G5-based iMac. Unlike the dramatic move from iBook to MacBook, there is no iMac redesign to fawn over. Apple continued using the highly praised and iconic all-in-one form factor of its powerful, yet compact desktop computer. The truly significant differences are internal - some subtle, some very evident.

I feel confident saying that the 17" Intel iMac is one of the better systems Apple has produced.
