I feel confident saying that the 17" Intel iMac is one of the better systems Apple has produced.
Highs: Superior design; quiet; relatively fast; built in iSight camera
Lows: Only comes with an 8X SuperDrive; Lags in iPhoto
Where to buy:
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.
