• Toshiba touts data density record with new drive

  Toshiba says it has earned the right to say it's more dense than its competitors.

• Apple iPod Touch 64GB (3rd generation)

  Not much doing here in Touch-land. A new 64GB model, no 16GB unit and price cuts for everyone! Oh, and a bit more performance.

• Apple Mac Mini (2009)

  Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

• 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 24-inch (2009)

  Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.

• Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (2009)

  The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.

• Apple MacBook (June 2009)

  For AU$1599, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.

• Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

  Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

• Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

  Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.

• MSI X-Slim X340

  Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.

• 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.

• 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 Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage

  Apple's new Time Capsule incorporates both a wireless router and a hard drive into the same product. In its niche, the Time Capsule is the most advanced product on the market -- its price is also fair compared with a separate router and network-attached hard drive.

• Apple MacBook Air (1.86GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9400M)

  If you weren't a fan of the previous MacBook Air, nothing will change your mind here. We can only hope the next revision is a little more feature-laden.

• Apple MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 17-inch)

  A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.
