24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo/2.16GHz

Macworld.com - September 15, 2006

The 24-inch iMac occupies the vast stretch between the smaller iMacs and the Mac Pro. If you're looking for the ultimate iMac with a taste of the pro-level features the Mac Pro provides, you'll find the 24-inch iMac to be the perfect middle ground.
