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).
Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera

Wi-Fi cameras for home security ought to be a no-brainer, and at this price, the Linksys pretty much is. We just wish it worked seamlessly cross-browser, and took better pictures.
Microsoft LifeCam Show

The Microsoft LifeCam Show offers improvement over Microsoft's previous laptop webcam, but Logitech still has the laptop webcam to beat.
Logitech QuickCam Sphere AF

While the QuickCam Sphere produces excellent pictures and has impressed us with its automatic face tracking, these features don't justify the extra expense over the cheaper webcams in the Logitech stable with matching optics.
Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

We're not wild about the design of Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, but its image quality is so vastly superior to that of other notebook webcams that we're more than willing to make the occasional camera readjustment as needed.
Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It's our webcam pick for desktop and laptop users alike.
