Ok, I'll begin by saying that I don't think it's particularly attractive, but it's nice to see PC makers are finally attempting to compete with the simplicity of the iMac. This can get added to the overpriced Sony option ( http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665203473 ) and the HP monstrocity ( http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/...770_series/rts/4/computer_store/RN635AA%23ABA ) with the saving grace of a touch-screen. I think gateway had a previous attempt that was also a hideous giant, or maybe it was an HP, but I couldn't find it. Then there's alienware ( http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/alienware-area-51-5400-all-in-one-pc/ ) and Lenovo ( http://www.techfresh.net/gadgets/computers/laptops/lenovo-l570w-all-in-one-pc/ ) and the list goes on, and on. Point is, they're finally at least trying. Thanks to Apple pulling the industry forward.
So, here it is. Slightly old news, but:

Even though I don't particularly like the design, it looks like they had a focus on design... which is a nice change from:

which looks like a monitor attached to a desktop PC standing on its side.
