I'm torn. On one hand it looks quite different to most PC's, on the other hand it also looks like someone took the iMac with it's chin and spent 9 months carrying the lovechild of Bruce Forsythe.

Compare if you will.

I say its a good effort from a traditional PC maker. Certainly better than most all-in-one PC's I've seen.

However, as usual its underpowered and overpriced. For that reason, it doesn't touch the iMac for me.

It does look good, but if it's inspired by any Mac (and it surely is) it's inspired by the 20th Anniversary Macintosh from 1996.
 
It is kind of sexy actually. I could see these in some swank internet cafe.
 
"No sir, I don't like it." The proportions suggest integration with the ground plane, but the keyboard states otherwise. Hey if you kinda squint it looks like a silhouette of the Apple 2 :D
 
I took the "interactive tour" a couple months ago when it was released, and if I was going to buy a new PC, that would be it for sure. It's the best looking PC out there IMO.
 
Looks nice. I would get it if I was in the market for a PC...but remember...it still only does Windows :rolleyes:
