Sort of a hardcore mobile design, whatever that may be. Still, in its present state it's unlikely to find a home in any laptop, and I like the idea that Apple put it in the iMacs. Yes, RAM prices dropped again. Now to go from 1 to 4GB is $300 (it was $400). And for the 2GB models you can "fill it up" for $200. That's still 2x (or more) than it would cost elsewhere, but at least it all comes at once and may be easier for those financing. Oh, going off-topic, check my reading page and you'll see a certain book finally made the list. :) Neil,

Great decision to go with the desktop chip and higher powered graphics card. Did RAM prices drop, too? The high-end iMac looks mighty sweet.

These are great machines. I hated being reminded that the iMac was nothing more than a glorified laptop. I agree. These are great machines.
