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.
