CNET Review

June 20, 2008

The Good: Clean, classy design; largest display at this price; hard display control buttons; lots of upgrading potential.

The Bad: Significantly slower than even Apple's older iMac; no Blu-ray drive; no 802.11n wireless.

The Bottom Line: Like other Windows-based all-in-ones, Averatec's All-in-One can't compete with the iMac for sheer power. The Averatec's larger screen and few features it has that Apple doesn't might be enough to sell you, but the iMac remains the all-in-one to beat.
