I can't help but think Apple's left the door open here for Windows 8. Microsoft's new OS works beautifully on a big screen, and if a manufacturer can build an all-in-one with an equally gorgeous screen and svelte design, some of the media-friendly features the iMac lacks, and even throw in a touchscreen, I'd take a long, hard look before buying an iMac. HP's Spectre One does the design well largely by aping the iMac, and Dell's XPS 27 offers all the features I want — but I have yet to see the combination of design, features, and horsepower the iMac offers.

$1,299 gets you a 21.5-inch iMac with a 2.7GHz quad-core Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 640M graphics, and a 1TB hard drive. For $1,499, you get a 2.9GHz processor and the slightly better GT 650M Nvidia graphics. To get a Fusion Drive, you have to buy the $1,499 model and spend an extra $250 on the drive itself. The fact that the iMac has a quad-core processor across the board makes the high-end requirement even harder to justify.

The 27-inch iMac starts at $1,799, for a 2.9GHz processor (the same as on the more expensive 21.5-inch model), 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive with 7200rpm instead of 5400 on the other models, and even better graphics chips. This is the only one of Apple's three new desktops that doesn't force a processor bump to get the Fusion Drive — you just pay the $250. That means the cheapest Fusion Drive-capable 21.5-inch iMac is $1,749, and the cheapest 27-inch model will cost you $2,049. That's some serious cash, especially when neither the technology nor the hardware have to be so elitist.
