Product Summary
Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
price range: $1,399.00
A slight bump to the specifications for the same price in addition to a much appreciated option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year when the brushed-aluminum-and-glass design was first introduced.
