iMac vs. Pentium: No points for good looks cnn.com But interim CEO Steve Jobs' boast that the iMac is faster than the quickest Pentium II is pure hype -- and it falls apart under scrutiny. [W]e pitted the iMac against two Intel-based PCs: a pricier Pentium II-400 system and a Celeron-based machine that costs about $300 less than the iMac. The results: In its base $1299 configuration, the iMac finished last in each of our application tests. The system was nearly as easy to use as the company claims, but its poor erformance means Apple failed in its core mission. That brings us to our bottom line: The iMac may be a handsome sentimental favorite, but all the good looks and good intentions in the world can't make up for slow application performance, poor sound quality, and no upgrade path. Apple tells users to "think different." We advise Apple to "think again."
