Aging design... Perhaps by Apple standards, but from a PC world... That just hurts! The Dell One is a fantastic looking unit, stolen from the "aging design" you are referring too. We have been looking for an all in one for our computer labs, and we cannot find a better fit than the iMac. And the fact it runs Windows seemlessly... There is your utilites covered.. Go back in your closets... Animaster is right, Less is More...

And only an idiot would think that just because a design has been conceived a couple years back that it's an "aging design". When Apple designed the flat-panel iMac a couple years back they not only created a really sweet design, but they created one YEARS ahead of the competition... and even the current Intel imacs are years ahead of this crappy Dell One. Have you ever had to dust off your computer? Considering all the angles, twists and turns on the Dell One and you're in for a s**tload of work. As for the glass base -- "oooh pretty pretty it's translucent.. woooooow" THAT is oldschool design, and just WHAT happens if you accidentally drop the base or put it down too hard? What does glass do? u-huh.<br /> <br /> If you've ever been to a Design 101 class, you'd know the old addage that "Less is More".

It's a better buy in my opinion. But check out the Apple + Dell webpages yourself and compare the specs etc. The iMac is cheaper, it's $1199, and you can get educational discount.

So Dell & Gateway copied Apple's iMac & Microsoft copied Mac OSX- seems like everyone's copying Apple. Oh, did I mention the Zune?<br /> <br /> Anyway, Apple's still on top when it comes hardware, software & music. Ok.

“The iMac is nothing but a pretty face, it doesn't touch the Dell One when it comes to performance.”

Check the Dell One specs. The video card in the MOST EXPENSIVE One is WORSE than the video card in the LEAST EXPENSIVE iMac!

Maybe you're just trolling, but giving you the benefit of the doubt you should double-check the specs and you'll see Dell went cheap on graphics and CPU.
