Title: Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (17-inch, 1.83GHz) Reviews
Pros: Low price; good looks; new Core 2 Duo processor; fantastic software bundle.

Title: 1.83GHz, 2.16GHz, and 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo iMacs
Pros: Affordable. Rosetta speed has improved over previous generation of Intel-based iMacs. Lackluster video performance. No Apple Remote. 2GB memory ceiling. Rosetta speed still slower than native PowerPC performance.
Cons: Lackluster video performance. No Apple Remote. 2GB memory ceiling. Rosetta speed still slower than native PowerPC performance.
Verdict: . Our favorite new Mac is the 24-inch iMac. For serious hobbyists, or professionals on a budget, the 24-inch iMac is an ideal Mac - and while you'll still take a performance hit when using non-Intel-native applications, the new processors do a lot to impr
