MacWorld and PC World gives the new iMac 4 and 41/2 stars out of 5 stars, respectively. MacWorld mentions a slow Front Row and lack of spanning option as a few bumps to the otherwise excellent computer for home and business use.

PC World complains about having no TV tuner, problems with wall mounting, and graphics that you can’t upgrade yourself. It also mentioned difficulty in moving DVD or TV content from iMac to iPod. Which computer ever made that step real easy out of the box? PC World likes the built-in iSight, new multimedia capabilites, standard dual-layer DVD writer and wireless configurations, and new DDR2 and PCIe based hardware. It calls it a great desktop to go beyond web-browsing and emailing.
