Long time home Mac user here--since the Mac Plus. I went from a G4 tower to a 20 inch iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel model a couple of years back an it's been a GREAT machine. (The glossy screen is NOT a problem unless you have your computer in a super bright room--like the Apple store). I make my living on computers in the work world, and for home use I highly recommend the Intel iMacs. If you need portability, obviously the MacBook Pro is a better choice.
