Apple TV
A lack of playable formats and limited functionality really stunts the appeal of the otherwise elegant Apple TV. Read our Australian review.
Apple Mac Pro
Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
Apple Airport Extreme
If you've got compatible 802.11n-ready gear now, Apple's Airport Extreme takes Wi-Fi speeds up a notch. The USB port for sharing disks is handy, however, network speed takes a hit if you put legacy 802.11b/g devices on your network.
Apple MacBook 2.4GHz
The 2008 Apple MacBook is a perfect amalgam of design and usability, and is able to beat many Windows PCs at their own game.
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).
Apple Mac Mini
As an introduction to the Mac world -- or as a second Mac -- it's hard to fault the Mac Mini, as long as you plump for a few optional extras that really shouldn't be optional at all.
Apple MacBook Air (Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)
Apple's update of the MacBook Air brings Nvidia graphics and Mini DisplayPort, but not much else.
Apple Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage
Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, but Windows users and those who demand speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.
Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
A slight bump to the specifications for the same price, the option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year.
Apple MacBook Pro
The MacBook Pro may give Apple bragging rights to the prettiest and most powerful laptop on the planet.
Apple Mac Mini
Leave it to Apple to make the small-form-factor PC even smaller. This AU$799 desktop-ish computer is 16.5cm on each side and 5cm tall. But is it as inexpensive as it seems?
Apple Boot Camp (beta)
Apple gives the people what they want: Windows on Macs. Geeks proved it could be done through a variety of complicated hacks and now Apple makes it a breeze with a free download. We take Boot Camp for a test run.
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.
Apple iLife '06
If you don't already have iLife and you deal with digital media, you should get iLife '06. If you have an older version, think carefully about whether the new features are worth the price.
Apple iPod Camera Connector
The Camera Connector adds a useful feature to the iPod Photo, and it works well.
Apple eMac 1.42GHz
Apple brings Tiger a faster G4 processor, larger hard drives, and better graphics to the budget eMac.
Apple iMac G5 (2.0GHz, 20-inch)
Along with the new Tiger OS, the iMac G5 gets more muscle beneath its sleek exterior, making the all-in-one desktop a stronger performer and a better deal.
Apple Final Cut Studio 2
Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.
