"good" (4 out of 6 stars) Value for money: 3 out of 6 stars "Recommended"
Although not really cut out for gaming PC Pro suggests that anyone looking for a sleek and tidy desktop system for basic tasks will be more than happy with the iMac. The monitor is excellent and even with only 1GB of RAM the system runs smoothly.
 
MacWorld
Issue 7/2008

4 out of 5 stars
As the lowest spec model in the range, it follows that the 2.4GHz iMac is the slowest performer, however, MacWorld recorded an impressive 13 percent speed increase over the previous low-end model, giving this iMac similar performance to the most expensive standard configuration iMac of 2007. The magazine's main gripe was with the quality of the screen, where they found the viewing angles a little restrictive compared to the higher quality 24in screen.

4 out of 5 stars
The 20in iMac is more expensive than a Windows PC but as Computer Active points out that the added extras make up for it. The 20in iMac also has a good range of hardware features and bundled software.
