Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Editor's rating:
4.0 stars

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

The bottom line: The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, Summer 2012)

The bottom line: Another year of incremental improvements for the 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro help it maintain its lead as a useful, powerful, attractive midsize laptop, but the competition is closer than ever to catching up.

Editor's rating:
4.0 stars

Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, Summer 2012)

The bottom line: While the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a well-built laptop, it's fallen behind the MacBook Air and Retina Display MacBook Pro in design, lacks higher-end upgrades, and feels too expensive compared with the competition.

Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display Editor's choice

The bottom line: The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed.

Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
Editor's rating:
4.0 stars

Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

The bottom line: Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favorite 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). A few components could also stand an update, but in general you'll find the 20-inch iMac a remarkable computer for its price.

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)
Editor's rating:
4.0 stars

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)

The bottom line: Apple made a number of changes to this $1,499 iMac, but making a 24-inch screen available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched. Provided you like your all-in-ones best as straightforward desktop computers, the iMac will meet your expectations with speed and elegance.

Apple Mac Pro Dual-Core Xeon 5150 2.66 GHz
Editor's rating:
4.0 stars

Apple Mac Pro Dual-Core Xeon 5150 2.66 GHz

The bottom line: 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. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.

    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.
