The latest MacBook looks identical to the old model but benefits from faster components. As a result, it's even better value for money.
Other vendors might offer more flexible configurations and better deals on components, and the specter of HD video looms darkly, but the 24-inch iMac's sprawling display and convincingly capable features should set most people's minds at ease.
We've seen some reports around the Web that the new 24-inch iMac has an upgradeable graphics chip. The story is indeed correct, but in order to clear up any confusion about what it means, we thought we'd clarify.
Apple iLife '06, the media-wrangling suite from Apple, includes a new app -- iWeb -- and solid improvements to existing apps, including podcasting and photocasting. It's well worth the AU$199 licensing fee.
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).
Thanks to 1080p output, TV tuner, Blu-ray player and wall mount, the new TouchSmart blurs the distinction between television and computer even further.
Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.
We've got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability.
If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.

I want one now!! I've been waiting for the new iMac to come out to accompany my new MacBook. The only thing is, I want it with Leopard, so I guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer.
