Latest iMac reviewed by USA Today

You can look at
Apple's latest iMac in two ways: it's either the latest in a long line of computers to bear that name, or it's Apple's first entry into the media PC arena. Given the inclusion of the Front Row media management software and Apple's new remote control, most critics have chosen to focus on the latter, and USA Today's Edward Baig is no exception. After calling the 17-inch and 20-inch iMacs "exquisite," Baig highlights their media functions, and finds that, compared to a PC running Windows Media Center Edition, the iMac delivers Apple's "trademark simplicity and beauty," qualities that he sees extending to Apple's shuffle-esque remote. However, in the end, Baig finds that the iMac doesn't quite measure up as a media PC, due to its lack of a built-in TV tuner and maximum screen size of 20 inches. However, as an all purpose desktop with some media features thrown in to sweeten the deal, Baig sees the iMac as a "multimedia marvel."
