“…it’s cool, but the user-interface still needs some work…”

“…compared with the competition, the IQ506 comes across as the closest to the iMac in the Windows world, at least physically. The IQ506 is basically all built into the screen, like the iMac. It’s sleeker and arguably more attractive than the Dell XPS One, and the HP is quite a bit cheaper than the XPS One…”
