"Exceeded my expectations"
Pros: Display is beautiful. This thing is snappy! I am really surprised at how fast this thing is with day to day tasks. Mail and Safari open instantly. I typically have 5 or more resource intensive applications open at the same time with zero issues.
Cons: The sharp edges of the slot loading drive freak me out.
Summary: I recently upgraded from a 12 inch powerbook. I also use a maxed out Dell XPS at work... and my new iMac is by far the most responsive computer I have used to date. I went with the 2.93 and the NVIDIA GT 130.. and I am attributing the performance to the video card. I love having the high resolution 24 inch screen for multitasking (remote desktop into PC while running multiple apps and transferring data). Front Row.. and the ability to view full-screen movies for free from NetFlix (using Safari) make this a dual use machine... it handles work and play equally well.

Glad I read this review, you have the system that I WILL be buying in about a week and 1/2. Your comments sealed the deal for me on this model. Thanks and I hope that is still working well for you. I'm walking away from using windows / microsoft at home after 22 years. Thanks again.
