W.A.Khan, Apple iMac 21.5-inch Apple's attention to detail extends to the 21.5-inch version of its thin-looking Apple iMac.
But, Windows-based all-in-one PCs offer tough hardware competition in the sub-$1,400 price range.
The bottom line: The 21.5-inch iMac will be a compelling lower-cost all-in-one for Mac loyalists, but you can get more capabilities from similarly priced Windows all-in-ones.

Price:$1,264.98 to $1,299.00 VS Samsung Series 7 All-in-one The attractive Samsung Series 7 offers a top-notch Windows 8 touch experience at an affordable price.
But, Samsung sacrificed performance to keep the price down, and a gesture recognition feature is best left ignored.
The bottom line: The Samsung Series 7 isn't the fastest, or the most fully featured midrange all-in-one, but casual PC users should consider it for its affordability and overall polish.
