Advantages: Good value, runs most common apps well
Disadvantages: Struggles with high intensity graphics apps and games

...nothing special here, quite typical Dell styling - neat and clean, but not particularly eye catching! Finally, high intensity programs such as professional design apps and games, this PC will simply not cope!

Disadvantages: Price, but you get what you pay for - quality and beauty

I was outraged with MY new iMac. For a start, where's the typical ugly black and white random writing a computer is supposed to show you when you turn it on?
