i would recommend the 13.3 inch Apple MacBook Pro they are at a reduced price now, even though they might be a little pricey they last for 7 hours on a full charge, they last for approximately 5 years, they are energy efficient, they can't get any viruses, they are very light-weighted even on the largest screen, the memory can be customized up to 4Gb and 8Gb, the hard drive space can be customized up to 500Gb, everything is very organized and they easily synchronize with other devices in a network, such as, printers and stereos, they can run both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, they can come with iWork and iLife which can run Microsoft files easily and they have up to 2.8 GHz of processing power.

Apple has legendary customer service as in they make their own computers so they don't send you to another company for a certain part.

Some great info on your website (I've just tweaked my TEMP folders to my newly partitioned T: drive - simple enough but I'd forgotten how!).

I hate to point it out, but whilst you cleverly worded some advice (ie the bit about how much memory to go for), I reckon it's time to take a look at some of those more specific figures.
Thinking about what I've needed to know recently, you could add details (or external links to save replication) as to how to build your own Windows XP install disc from the i386 folder for the very keen (I was very surprised it worked).
Anyway, an excellent, well worded, site that I'll be recommending to those people that keep asking me these sort of questions.

I am thinking of purchasing an Apple iMAC. Is it worth the $1600 i am willing to spend or can i use my money better elsewhere?

One caveat about processor speed for laptops.

Intel offers two lines of processors that appear in laptops, the centrino line and the P4 line.

Some laptops come with P4 processors, and are marked as significantly faster than the Centrino processor. Unfortunately, the faster processor comes at a significant battery-life cost. A non-centrino processor will suck a battery dry faster than a centrino processor.

So if you're buying a laptop, stick with the centrino processors.
