No single change in the latest iMac G5s is earthshaking, but together they add significant value to a series that was already quite appealing. This model features a faster processor and a DVD-burning SuperDrive for $200 more than the other 17-inch configuration.
Pros: Striking design; adequate memory; AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR now standard; double-layer SuperDrive.
Cons: No height adjustment; no front ports.
