But I'll do half of it for you.

iMac:
21.5" 1920x1080 resolution screen
2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
4GB RAM
500GB Hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB
Bluetooth multi-touch mouse or trackpad
Bluetooth keyboard
Firewire and thunderbolt interfaces
web camera
Small desk footprint

Bundled Software:
Mac OX S Lion
iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband
Mail, iCal, Addressbook
Time Machine backup software

tech specs are here: http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html

Note that this machine hasn't changed in price since it was released nearly a year ago. You should find this an easy challenge.

$1199.

Please find something similar in a Windows PC for $599 (half price). Full Windows 7 please, and roughly equivalent bundled software.
Not quite 50% cheaper but 42% cheaper. It also comes with an additional 500GB. I believe the HP is missing the HD web cam.

A closer comparison would be to upgrade this model to 2.7GHZ for $70
The apple version is $1499 the HP would be $669 that brings us to 47% price difference.

HP Omni 220xt series

The ASUS is much more expensive starting at $899, but it's screen is multitouch. It has 1TB (500GB more) but it only has dual core. I could not find the price for the quad core model.
