We like:

Design; thin keyboard; more performance and features than many Windows-based PCs; robust iLife '08 digital media suite

We don't like:

No word on means of upgrading to Apple's new Leopard OS when it's released; anaemic phone support

CNET UK judgement:

With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than any previous Mac to date. Unless you're a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast, we can think of very few reasons not to make an iMac your next desktop
