Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz - Apple

With its low price and small size, the Mac mini has always offered a versatile and economical Mac experience. But, while Apple has regularly updated its line of consumer laptops and desktops, this year the Mac mini seemed to have been all but forgotten by the company.

24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo/2.4GHz - Apple

Let’s face it—the iMac, Apple’s flagship consumer desktop model, was long overdue for a facelift. The thin-display-on-a-solid-foot design first arrived on the scene in August 2004 as the iMac G5, and survived through the Intel transition in January 2006. Sure, Apple has made some major improvements inside, but it’s been three years since the iMac has gotten any cosmetic enhancements... read more at Macworld

Mac Pro 3GHz Eight Core - Apple Inc

The addition of an eight-core option to Apple's Mac Pro configuration options was perhaps the least surprising product announcement the company has made in recent years. No matter how much Apple might like to cloak its products in secrecy until it's ready to go public, the fact that Intel had launched a quad-core version of the Xeon several weeks earlier meant Apple's launch was inevitable... read more at MacUserUK

24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo/2.16GHz - Apple Computers
The iMac was originally conceived as a relatively compact all-in-one computer, and that was a large part of its appeal. Compact, however, is not word most people would use to describe the 24-inch iMac, which features the latest Apple technology packed behind a massive flat-panel display. But for people who want a fairly professional system without making the jump to a Mac Pro, the new large-screen iMac fills a tempting middle ground. It gives you impressive performance, but without the expansion options of a pro tower... read more at Macworld
