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.
Azentek CPC-1100

Azentek's 7-inch, in-car PC offers navigation, Bluetooth mobile phone integration and multimedia playback capabilities.

With StarCraft II and Diablo III on the horizon for OS X, and the benefits designers and video editors can gain from a highly responsive and accurate mouse, this is one device you should check out.
Opera 9.5

Long considered a cult favourite, Opera 9.5 for Windows and Mac has introduced some compelling improvements to security, speed and synchronisation — yes, syncing in a browser!— is there enough here to make you a convert?
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.
