The good: A minor specification update results in some significant performance gains; graphics upgrade an option on this 24-inch model; sleek, polished design didn't receive an update, but we won't start clamoring for a new design until the current one is at least 12 months old.

The bad: Free phone support runs out after 90 days.

The bottom line: A slight bump to the specifications for the same price in addition to a much appreciated option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year when the brushed-aluminum-and-glass design was first introduced.

Specs: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (2.8 GHz); Clock speed: 2.8 GHz; Environmental & energy standards compliance: EPA Energy Star See full specs >>

Price range: $1,779.00 - $1,949.00
