Reviews

  • Belkin Switch-To-Mac cable

    Belkin's Switch-To-Mac package performs adequately, but at a high price for what's likely to be a single use cable.

  • Logitech G19

    Logitech's G19 Gaming Keyboard boasts a built-in colour LCD with exciting capabilities, as well as lots of little improvements over previous models. But with few apps — thus far — that take advantage of the screen in a meaningful way, the G19's potential remains largely untapped.

  • 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.

  • Altech SysArielAtom-DP04

    The DP04 is a classic example of why nettop buyers are better off buying netbooks.

  • 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).

  • Logitech diNovo Edge Mac Edition

    The Mac Edition of the diNovo Edge is still a better keyboard overall than the iMac's default model, but not enough to justify its high price.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)

    Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.
