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.

I may have been a little harsh or negative.
It's not that it's a bad design on it's own. It's just that, to me, relative to the previous iMac this new one isn't as good.
And I also wanted to point out that this isn't a new design. The Profile 3 looks almost exactly like this new iMac.
