Well I compared the specs and the new iMac weighs less than the current Gateway Profile you're comparing it too. And the Profile 5 has it's hard drive at the base of the monitor stand, while the iMac's drive is encased in the back of the display, so they're not the same design. Between the Profile 5 and new iMac, the iMac is better I'd say.
And while the iMac's monitor can't be swiveled left or right, it can easily be tilted up or down for optimal view. There's not really a need to swivel the display sideways anyway, and in the case that you did need to, it's not that hard to move it by turning the base.
The only negative issue you might encounter with the Profile 5 or new iMac is expandility/upgrade issues since there's less space.
