iMac - Compared to the Mini, you pay more to get the iMac. You also get a whole lot more with the iMac. The medium to high end dedicated video cards in the iMac paired with the new hyperthreading intel core processors combine to give you a whole lot of power starting at $1200.

=-O Well, the i3 iMacs do hyperthread, so it's 4 virtual cores at 1.5ish GHz a pop, the i5 quad iMac is 4 physical cores at 2.8ish GHz a pop, and the i7 hyperthreads for 8 virtual cores at 1.5ish GHz.
