    I agree, and where's the cost savings that PC advocates go on about so much. This thing is retailing for about as much as the most expensive iMac.
    Gateway ($1699) best iMac $1,799
    and it has 128M less ram, 20G smaller HD, no Superdrive, no NVIDIA GeForce2 MX w/32MB DDR graphics...

    I'm just another PC user (ibook drooler;) but in comparison the new iMac looks like a much better deal that this.
