Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 3.06Hz Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia GeForce 9400M, Fall 2009)

We awarded Apple an Editors' Choice for its new $1,699 iMac, largely because its 27-inch screen dwarfs its competition in that price range. So what to make of Apple's new lower-end iMac? At $1,199, its 21.5-inch screen is hardly the size leader for its price, and without a touch screen...

Apple TV update looks good but doesn't offer much more

I second your thoughts, Sam.The updates were nice, but hardly worth it from the functional standpoint. Yes, Netflix would be nice, although iTunes provides most, if not all, of what Netflix would, doesn't it?One thing Tim Cook mentioned during the most recent earnings call was that Apple was going to...
