27″ Apple iMAC: A Sure Winner!

Apple iMAC 27"

Apple iMAC 27"

Back on May 3rd when Apple introduced the new iMacs I already was a confirmed iMac fan. Having 21 of them in my training lab I found them to be top notch. I waited for new models to convince me to settle on iMacs for future centers and now the iMac refresh has made the argument for me. If I have to go back to a cubicle I want an iMac to adorn my space. I would say without reservation that any business, office or lab should seriously consider iMacs as the computer of choice.
