I think Asus is on to a winner with these.

I feel that the iMac has always been Apple's strong point. Such a great, uncomplicated design. PCs had nothing to match. Now that these are coming along, undoubtedly at a better price-point than a Mac, Apple will finally have some competition.
I would consider these perfect for living-rooms and kids computers. Looks great. Hopefully cheap.

If I won lotto I would buy iMacs for all my family's households - so we can all be in touch (on different sides of the world). With products like these - I might actually be able to afford that dream without matching 5 numbers + 2 bonus. (once a few more hit the market and the prices drop at least)

Seems like it has a lot of cool features.

I like that it has an HDMI in, so you can connect a game console to it. I wish things like this were around when I was in college. I wonder what the panel resolution is though.

Kind of wish they offered a cheaper 22" version also with a Atom.

iMac.

Like many things in the news section, I wonder when they will come out with theses and at what price... ASUS is a great PC company too so this seems promising. My mom seriously needs an easier way to use the comp lol.

iMac.

Except it likely won't cost $1200+...

the best configuration looks like a decent 600$ laptop one you could actually play games on it!

My mom seriously needs an easier way to use the comp lol.

Mine is the in-laws. They have a 10 year old PC that barely works cause of all the pron & viruses downloaded by the old man. Even then it's hampered by the dial-up internet they are still using. :shadedshu

What I want is something easy to use and small to put in the lounge/living room. Unfortunately their place is like it's out of a bloody interior decoration magazine, so any computer will have to be good looking too. This type of thing might just fit the bill.


Then all I'd need to do would be to convince them to get broadband.
