CNET Review
The Good: Best-in-class design; competitive performance in its price range, especially for multitasking; capable mainstream gaming performance.
The Bad: Windows all-in-one vendors offer 20-inch or larger all-in-ones for less; not as well-suited as a dedicated digital entertainment system as some other all-in-ones.
The Bottom Line: A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs. With a fast dual-core CPU and a strong array of features, Apple's updated all-in-one will slide seamlessly into a variety of roles at home or at work.

Review Summary: Apple has made a number of changes to its £1,199 iMac, but offering a 24in. screen at this price is the most impressive. The remaining updates are welcome, and the system's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
