Whether it is a desktop and laptop, Apple devices are getting cheaper nowdays to create a more competitive edge. The price gap between Apple computers and regular Windows based PCs are getting narrower and this is great new for budget conscious consumers like me!

The Apple iMac MB417LL / A for instance is a very competent and stylish 20-inch all-in-one desktop that now retails for around $ 1189 each, a good price considering that it is an Apple machine. This model has a 2.66Ghz processor, 2GB of RAM (that can be upgraded to 8GB) and a 320GB hard drive. It is a pretty good deal for an all-in-one desktop.

All-in-one desks are getting more and more popular nowdays due to their space saving dimensions and stylish designs. The Apple iMac MB417LL / A has a DVD drive, web-cam, and a wide array of connectors all fitted into a slim and sleek aluminum casing. The 20-inch screen has a 1680 x 1050 resolution and is perfect for watching HD movies and video clips.

There are other popular alternatives to the Apple MB417LL / A desktop, such as the HP Touchsmart PC (that costs around $ 1000) and the Asus Eee Top (that costs around $ 500). None of these competitors come close to the value and performance that you get with the Apple iMac MB417LL / A desktop. The Apple iMac is built for multitasking where it will be able to run multiple applications simultanously more smoothly than any other Windows based desktops. Its powerful graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 9400) also makes it a competent gaming desktop. All in all, if you are thinking of getting an all-in-one desktop, the Apple iMac MB417LL / A desktop model will prove to be a great buy, considering its superb performance, reasonable price tag and stylish design.
