Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz) review

The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favourably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. Check out how the 2.8GHz processor performed Read more

Apple iMac (2008 Edition) review

The iMac, Apple's iconic all-in-one desktop, is back. It's only been about half a year since the last upgrade, but we're pleased to see the inclusion of Intel's latest Core 2 Duo 'Penryn' CPU. It helps to make the insides of this attractive machine move much more quickly Read more

Apple Mac mini (2.53GHz, Autumn 2009) review

The latest Mac mini looks the same as its predecessor but has a faster CPU, more RAM and a bigger hard drive, among other spec bumps. It's rather short on features compared to its Windows-based rivals, but Mac fans seeking a small machine for productivity tasks will probably be happy with it Read more

Apple Mac Pro review

Apple's new Mac Pro (£1,699 for the base model) is a winner on multiple levels. From the outside, it looks great -- far more put together than any Windows-based box. Inside, it boasts powerful specs, including two dual-core Intel Xeon processors, for a total of four processing cores. And to top it off, it's a great value Read more
