Title: Apple iMac 20in (2.4GHz)
Pros: New aluminium design, new keyboard, good performance, excellent included software package, built-in iSight webcam and microphone
Cons: All-in-one design means minimal upgrades, glossy display, mouse doesn't match colour scheme
Verdict: The all-new iMac has been given an aesthetic overhaul and the changes are positive. It's a more than capable machine for general use, and the included iLife '08 software only sweetens the deal.

Title: Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
Pros: Industry-leading design; big, beautiful display; excellent application performance
Cons: Higher-end model features same midrange graphics card of lower-end models; free phone support ends after 90 days; might want to hold off until Leopard is released to save yourself the cost of an OS upgrade
Verdict: With the same elegant design as its 20-inch, 2.4GHz sibling, the 24-inch, 2.8GHz iMac offers 30 per cent more screen area and a modest performance boost but the added cost of the larger, faster model might put off some buyers, especially if you are a game
Summary: The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favourably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. Check out h

Title: iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" Desktop
Pros: Sleek, all-in-one design, Improved screen quality
Cons: All-in-one design limits expansion
Verdict: As appealing as the new iMac is, with the Leopard operating system coming soon (at around the time you read this), I'd recommend holding off. If you do, you'll get the new OS preinstalled
Summary: Supersleek all-in-one system offers great image quality.

Title: Apple iMac
Verdict: The iMac offers some significant improvements over the old model and good value for money. We'd love to recommend a system from a Windows OEM, but until the rest of the industry takes a slice from Apple's pie the iMac remains the most impressive all-in-on

Title: Apple iMac 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
Pros: Great all-round Mac, Stunning new design, Santa Rosa platform upgrade, Up to 4GB RAM, Fantastic new speakers
Cons: Glossy screen a turn-off for some
Verdict: A great all-round Mac with everything that the majority of us need. The glossy screen and viewing angle may be a problem for some
Summary: We have two methods to gauge the impact of a new Mac. The first is to talk to customers at our local Apple reseller. The second is to set up the new Mac in the office and wait for our colleagues' reactions. In both cases, the new iMac seems like a winner

Title: Apple 24in iMac
Pros: Great design, Ease of use
Cons: Lacks space for video editing work
Verdict: The iMac is elegant, quiet and effective but the video-editing capacity could be improved
