Ya but Alienware is meant to be a gaming powerhouse laptop. iMacs don't seem to be marketed as amazing powerhouses, they are stylish computers for the average user all wrapped up in a nice little bundle. The average user (especially of a mac) won't need the power from the video card to play high end games. It would seem like a person wanting a super powerful mac would go for the Mac Pro. I don't know, that's just what it seems like to me.
Also, a question I had is are the new 512MB 8800GTS's more powerful than the GT? It seems like they are from some of the benchmarks I have seen.
