iMac is the king of all-in-one, and then some. Period.
Once you can accept the fate that you can't freely messing around or upgrade your hardware partially on a DESKTOP computer, well .. You gotta go iMac or go home! Seriously.
You'd be stupid to bring home an all-in-one computer if it isn't iMac.
All competitor's models are garbage compared to what iMac offers. They may offer bluray drive, 6GB stock RAM, but it does not outweigh the fact that it is a cheap wannabe and knockoff, bad build quality, bad looks, half baked touchscreen UI, piss poor GPU or even laptop CPU. At least iMac offers desktop CPU and good mobility GPUs, the cheapest is 6750M I believe, which is decent. The rest are iGP or 64xxM garbage. And when you want to compete with iMac, as usual they'll end up cost similarly. If so, why would I chose the other one?
Yeah it's that extreme.
