Apple iMac 27-inch
Editors’ rating: 4 out of 5
The good: Largest display among all-in-ones; fast dual-core CPU makes up for lack of quad-core (mostly); finally has an SD Card slot; wireless mouse and keyboard; Mini DisplayPort input ripe with possibility.
The bad: Most Windows all-in-ones in the price range have Blu-ray; touch-sensitive mouse gestures not as responsive as we’d like; increase in AppleCare cost makes Apple’s nickel-and-dime customer service policy even worse.
The bottom line: Apple’s new 27-inch iMac will charm plenty of you with its screen size alone. Fortunately, that won’t lead you astray. Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal. This iMac isn’t perfect, but its positives far outweigh its negatives. We can think of few users to whom we wouldn’t recommend this system.
Price range: $1,694 – $1,699

This review is comparing hardware to hardware and misses the whole issue of which OS and included software makes one machine or another a better buy. This review seems to promulgate the age old notion that hardware, not the software, is what makes a good computer.
@nintendo_r4: yes you right, the aim of this review was camparing the hardware not the software
