3.0 / 5 - PCWorld, Jul 2, 2009

Pros

  • Good speed boost over previous analogous model
  • Excellent general performance
  • Compact, all-in-one design

Cons

  • Basic gaming performance
  • Glossy screen may frustrate some users
  • Still uses 6-bit dithered display
  • No touchscreen
  • FireWire 400 peripherals require an adapter

Bottom Line

Terrific general performance, but basic gaming. iMac fans might consider paying $300 extra for an entry-level 24-inch model.
