The 24&quot; iMac, like other members of its family, squeezes the guts of the computer into the space behind the LCD screen instead of putting it into a separate box. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">That and its stunning white enclosure make it the most stylish computer around. The machine&#8217;s ability to run Windows or the standard Mac OSX has elevated it out of a niche market to an (expensive) option for other people &#8211; although running Windows on a machine such as this would be considered close to heresy by many Apple users. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">What&#8217;s clear is that you&#8217;ll struggle to find any current computer with this size screen as a default option, it being one of the best around in terms of image quality. In addition, the iMac comes with Intel&#8217;s latest processors, a big 250GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM as standard. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Good because upgrading options are limited. For those looking to save space or make a design statement, this is a fantastic machine. However, for your average computer user its more than R20 000 price tag will relegate it to an object of desire.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><em>Finweek<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><em \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APPLE TENDS TO ATTRACT more publicity than its market share would seem to justify.
