Joel Santo Domingo of PC Mag loves the new iMac and waxes lyrically about Apple's all-in-one wonder.

• For now, though, you can get faster and more powerful components in the iMac (the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or the nVidia GeForce 8800 GS, and a 3.06-GHz Core 2 Duo processor). The XPS One is due for a refresh, but in the technology race the iMac has leapt ahead for now.

• To sum up, I love the design, like the performance, and I'm happy with the price / features ratio of the new 24-inch iMac with Penryn. I can even see some users buying one to run Windows Vista or XP exclusively; though of course I'm sure Apple would rather you use Mac OS X.

• [T]hough there are a slew of new competitors to the iMac, none of them have quite enough innovation or execution to dethrone the king of the all-in-one desktops.

Buy an iMac just to run Vista? Only the most depraved Windows user could entertain such a thought.

Then again, if your choices are Dell (um, no) and Gateway (you're joking, right?), maybe it's not such a crazy idea.

The iMac is the king of all-in-one desktops...
