Apple Time Capsule (2009)
Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.
-
Apple Mac Pro (2009)
Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.
-
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2009)
A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs. With a fast dual-core CPU and a strong array of features, Apple's updated all-in-one will slide seamlessly into a variety of roles at home or at work.
-
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 MacBook Air (1.6GHz)
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
-
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.
-
