Least Expandable PC: Apple iMac
The latest iMac, whose 24-inch version was reviewed, has plenty of storage and a relatively good graphics card. Good thing, because if you want to upgrade the iMac, you'll likely be swapping components, not adding them. The least expandable computer tested in recent memory (even less expandable than the Enano EX7200) has zero expansion slots; a single, already-occupied drive bay; three USB ports; and two FireWire ports. And Apple apparently thinks parallel ports aren't used anymore, because none are to be found on the iMac. What's next to go--the buttons on our mice?
(Shawn's Comment: Maybe PC World should stick to Windows based machines as they don't seem to get that Macs have *never* used parallel ports)

Who needs "expandadbility"
when the last word on the "most expandable PC" is:
you've got to wonder what the point is.
What does the average user need to "expand" a machine for that couldn't be done with USB or Firewire in this day and age?
Hey, 1999 just called, and they want their arguments about how the iMac is going to fail back!

I notice that this is the Canadian version of PCWorld.
Maybe this is all understandable. They're from so far up in the Great White North that they may never have seen a PC without parallel ports.
