24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo/2.66GHz

One of three 24-inch iMacs, this model ships with the same 2.66GHz processor in the 20-inch configuration. However, this iMac has twice the memory and double the hard drive of that 20-inch model for just $300 more.

Reviewed Full Review

The iMac continues to be a desktop Mac that's powerful enough to please both general consumers and professionals. The 24-inch models are an attractive buy, as they offer more memory and storage capacity as well as better performance than the lone 20-inch iMac.

Pros: Compact, all-in-one design; big, beautiful screen; better value for the money than the low-end model.

Cons: Glossy screen may frustrate some users; FireWire 400 peripherals require an adapter.
