iMac’s nifty design does little, but guts are great - Chicago Sun-Times

Excerpt from an Andy Ihnatko iMac reality check

"Apple has the desktop Mac market all to themselves. They’re free to make exactly the sort of computers they want, to prepare their users for the future as Apple sees it. Still, I hope Apple moves past this “thinner is always better” mindset soon. Consumers with a clear preference for Mac won’t let the iMac’s lack of a built-in optical drive, or its zero expandability, change their allegiances. But for every one of those people, there are more folks who just want a terrific desktop that delivers clear value for money."
