Not worth the money. I built an 8 Core AMD FX-8350 w/32gb memory, SSD, 2TB hard disk and a GEForce GTX660 Overclocked for $800 and it'll run circles around that iMac.
I LOVE my iPad and I'm getting an iPhone 5S soon. I'm a fan of apple products -- having said that there's no reason for an iMac with such low technical specifications to cost over $1k, especially now that they're using Intel processors.
The value add from Apple is in the OS and how easily Apple's other products integrate together. Their PC/Laptop Hardware technically speaking, isn't worth the premium Apple places on it.
Just my .02 worth.

Certain Apple consumers will get very suspicious if they are not paying Apple's customary high tariff. They expect to and get a sense of well being from doing so. A heaping dose of ego-affirmation. Not talking about you. I am talking about the young urban hip crowd. Who are their target demographic.....who tend to be unimaginative clonish conformist consumers even as they think they are beyond cool.
