As I posted earlier, I am considering an iMac, nMac or AIO as upgrades for my physics and physical sciences lab. I've been a Mac user since 1984 and have been forced to use some PCs as some applications are only available for that platform.

I need processor and graphics speed because I do interactive simulations as part of my lecture demonstrations. It sort of loose the students when the simulation looks like extreme slow motion.

I think the students will really like the iMac due to its looks, and I can key off their curiosity, peaked by actually seeing the innards, to discuss the physics of how computers work.

Finally, if I could go outside and collect real world data on a hand-held, then port the data over through an IR link would really make the science "come alive" for the students.

P.S. Sorry this post is so far down the line from the original query, but like Bill Hoo Fat, I went to give a final, came back and was ~100 posts behind.
