Review Summary |
The second-generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The price is fantastic as well--but we can't help feel there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left untapped. |
The new 27-inch iMac will charm you plenty with its screen size alone. Fortunately, that won't lead you astray. Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal. This iMac isn't perfect, but its positives far outweigh its negatives. |
The GX270 isn't cutting edge, but it's enough ahead of the game to make it a worthwhile buy for enterprise customers. |
