An Apple 24-inch iMac costs 50 quid less.

You get a much larger screen, faster CPU, better operating system.

What's so special about this? Even *Apple* hardware is cheeper! For the same price as this machine you could get a 24" iMac with a 2.16Ghz processor, a better graphics card, and an eyeTV.

It just doesn't seem to stack up at all.

I'm underwhelmed

Sony PCs, combining the price of Apple, the innovation & security of Microsoft, the reliability of HP, and the support of Dell. A winning combination, all around. Do people actually still buy from them?
