In Depth review of the new iMac Duo Core. (Ars Technia)
These guys know their shit.

All in all, the iMac Core Duo is an impressive machine. If the rest of Apple's product line moves to Intel this smoothly,
the transition should prove to be a big success.

Pros
Speed and performance of Intel-native apps
Rosetta performance
Built-in iSight
Value
Bright, vibrant display
Finally a decent video card (ATI Radeon X1600) on the consumer Mac
True dual display support
Quiet


Cons
Lack of user-serviceability
Short list of Intel-native applications available at launch
No support for shared iTunes playlists in Front Row
