New iMac a better deal than comparable Dell and HP PCs

Very impressive indeed. From CNN via Mac OS Ken:

“Oppenheimer’s Yair Reiner did a spec-by-spec comparisons with comparable Dell and Hewlett-Packard machines. His surprising conclusion, given Apple’s reputation for premium pricing: he found the new iMacs to be a better value than competing Windows-based products. A side-by-side comparison suggests the new iMacs match up favorably against Dell and HP’s All-in-One’s on a price-to-performance basis. For example, the $1,499 model has a faster CPU and RAM with better or comparable graphics, and is still $100-$250 cheaper (though it lacks a TV Tuner, ~$60-$100 upgrade).”
