We've had to wait around a month after the 21-inch iMacs before the 27-inch models hit the shelves. They're worth the wait.

You can't fault its looks, but is this 2012 21-inch new iMac a victory of form over function?

The cheapest, portable Mac desktop is now better than before, but still misses some features. Is it worth it?

Apple's bijou desktop, packed with everything a small business needs from a server

Apple's mid-2010 refresh brings us three new models of the Mac Pro – the top-of-the-range tower format Mac aimed at professionals and high-end users. The one we're reviewing here is the entry-level model at £1999, based around a 2.8GHz quad core Intel Xeon processor using the 45nm Nehalem microarchitecture.

The latest release of Apple's all-in-one computer enjoys several key improvements

The hardy iMac, which was first announced to the world a decade ago this summer, is responsible for a significant chunk of Apple’s success. Back in 1998, you’ll remember that it was the brightly coloured, translucent iMac that reaffirmed Apple’s reputation as a hot design house and groundbreaking computer-maker in one.

Choosing a video-editing platform from Apple's current desktop range is a conundrum. The Mac Pro towers do provide 'best of class' performance but for everyday video editing it's a case of overkill.

Apple quietly upgraded its entry-level Mac desktop with Core 2 Duo chips this month. It was a long overdue bump up. The new clock speeds are 1.83GHz and 2.0GHz. It carries forward exactly the same format as before; the same shell, ports, graphics card, and drives

While Apple was stealing headlines with its latest iMac design, it also quietly upgraded the Mac mini with a Core 2 Duo processor, thereby completing the integration of the faster Intel chips across its whole Mac line-up

We have two methods to gauge the impact of a new Mac. The first is to talk to customers at our local Apple reseller. The second is to set up the new Mac in the office and wait for our colleagues' reactions. In both cases, the new iMac seems like a winner

Since announcing its intention to move to Intel chips two years ago, Apple has been keen to keep apace with the processor developments of the Windows-based mainstream

The ceiling has just been raised at the top end of the Mac line interms of raw processing power. Although we knew the 8-core Mac Pro was imminent, in true Apple fashion its launch was anything but predictable

A month or two ago we would all have been drooling over this latest Power Mac with its 2.7GHz twin PowerPC processors. It's a real monster of a Mac and at the top of Apple's tree

We've come a long way since Henry Ford. It's a sign of our choice driven times that Apple is no longer even offering a standard configuration for the Mac Pro, the machine that replaces the long-standing Power Mac brand.

Pinning down the iMac and who it's aimed at will always be a difficult job, seeing how effortlessly it doubles as both all-round entertainment centre and ultra-competent office workstation.

What relevance does the eMac have, especially when you can buy a1.42GHz Mac mini for £399? Actually, if you look closely at the specifications, benchmarks and prices, the eMac is a Mac worth considering

So near, and yet so far. The new Mac mini comes within a whisker of being the ultimate home media centre.It'stiny, so it fits perfectly into that shelf underneath your TV. It'sattractive, so no one will complain about having it on public display.

Given Apple's transition to the x86 architecture, we decided that despite being a Mac, it's worthy of our attention. The Mac mini is a small form-factor PC that's been around for about a year in various incarnations.

Admit it. You're sorely tempted by Apple's new Mac because it's well priced, reasonably powerful and... well, it just looks so damn cute. It's the perfect excuse to dump that ugly old beige Wintel box in the corner of the room

Some of life's best things come in small packages
