Latest Laptops

The latest iteration of the Apple iMac ($1,499 direct with 1GB of RAM, $1,649 with 2GB of RAM) comfortably straddles the worlds of consumer and business. It's the fourth generation of the popular system, if you count the first as the CRT G3 iMacs, the second as the "Luxo-style" iMac G4, and the third as the white plastic iMac G5 and Intel systems. Though the last white iMac was marketed as the "consumer Mac" (the Mac Pro was the "professional Mac"), the latest iMac doesn't fall into the pigeonholes of "business" or "consumer." Its aluminum and black appearance can work in the home, next to your iPhone, or in the office next to your Aeron chair. With its Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows compatibility, it is certainly the "computer for the rest of us," making good on the promises put forth in the original "1984" Macintosh ads. All that earns it our Editors' Choice.Price as Tested: $1,499.00 - $1,649.00 Direct
