That Gateway all-in-one still exists, you know.



Uh oh! Looks like Gateway has some competition!

Look towards the bottom right-hand corner of the page under the "Benefits" column, and you'll see this astonishing "benefit":

"Run two programs simultaneously."

Amazing!

That's an insane price for that gateway too! You could get a non all in one package with better specs for far cheaper!

Although the Sony does have a built in TV tuner, so it is technically a TV...
but still. Wow. Has Apple truly discovered the best possible design for an all in one, and because no one can copy the design exactly, they have to look like complete crap?
But both the Sony and the Gateway have one thing on the iMac: expandability. PCI slots, room for an extra hard drive, all things you can't do with an iMac. But then again, who buys an All-in-one for the expandibility?
