New iMacs
We have an iMac G5, 17inch, 1.6ghz, and it's been an awesome machine - from the days of it being Dancers main computer, where it held it's own in World of Warcraft, to today when it sits under the kitchen cabinets and acts as an iTunes server, sending almost 100gig of music to the laptops, the stream server in our bedroom, the xBox 360 (via Connect360) in the living room. It's also the main recipe machine for Dancers Macgourmet, and in general is one of the most useful computers I've ever owned.
Apple just released the next major update to the iMac range - they got slimmer, more powerful, bigger screened and a hell of a lot more powerful.
I'm not in the market for a new machine, but these things are so nice, I'm tempted all over again :D
I do think the iMac is probably one of the nicest desktop machines you could buy these days - it will run Windows or OSX, it's powerful enough for many games (although PCs still have the gaming crown), but if it's anything like the iMac we bought two years ago, it will be rock solid, be able to be left switched on forever, and you will never have a day of trouble with it.
It's also a damned good looking machine :)

Nice
Did you see Steve Job's keynote speech for the launch of these and iLife08?
I have never ever been tempted to buy mac.
Until now.
nnngh.
I didn't see it, but didn't need to - I love the looks of the new iMac, and having 3 already, I'm convinced of the coolness of the Mac already :) Not a Mac geek, I still use PCs for many many things, but at home, I love me some Mac.
I went to the apple shop today, it's the only way I have a chance to play with one. Oh my!
The new iMac is beyond lovely. But, I said I'd never go back to a desktop again. Even a 20" one. Which means there's very probably a Macbook Pro in my future.
Can I wait for Leopard though? Place bets now..
If you can, wait. While the machine will be upgradable, there is likely to be a new batch of hardware of some kind.
Mac laptops rock too, we live off two Macbooks
