Apple Mac Mini (2.5GHz Core i5, Summer 2011)
Editor's rating:
3.0 stars

Apple Mac Mini (2.5GHz Core i5, Summer 2011)

The bottom line: Apple's new $799 Mac Mini demands that you abandon disc-based media, and that you surround it with potentially expensive extra hardware to realize its full benefits. It makes most sense for committed Mac users, those who need it for a specific niche-case, or for those who value design over functionality for the dollar.

Apple iMac 21.5-inch (2.5GHz, spring 2011)

The bottom line: Apple's $1,199 iMac doesn't offer the same home entertainment features as Windows-based all-in-ones, but its speed, looks, and the future utility of its Thunderbolt port make it a strong choice for performance-sensitive professionals.

    Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios. We also love the design improvements that improve an Apple's already industry-leading sensibilities. Any Apple-bound design professional would welcome this new tool in his or her arsenal.

    Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too.
