can you handle all 27 inches?

who else got bummed when store.apple.com wasn't loading this morning? one hour later, it all made sense. and, since no one really cares about windows 7 anyway, lets drool over the new mactastic toys.


iMac

my life is too mobile for desktops but the new iMac is pretty sexy, and cordless. as always, the all-aluminum computer has superior graphics, looks like they have a newer/faster processor, more storage, and a 27" display with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. try fitting that in your pocketbook.

magic mouse

talk about marketing genius: when you name your newest product 'magic,' its bound to sell. the new iMac comes with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. nothing special with the keyboard, but the magic mouse is really something that i would like to play with at the apple store. using the touch technology they have incorporated in their iPhones and iTouches, the buttonless mouse has one and two finger scrolling (for up/down and left/right, respectively), right clicking (finally!) and can be accommodated for us lefties. it makes my wireless logitech mouse seem so '99.

macbook

the new macbook adopts a few mbpro qualities with its unibody design and 7 hour battery life. aesthetically, the laptop looks almost the same, save for the rounder edges. personally i like the all-aluminum look better but this one has a nonslip, fingerprint friendly casing. in terms of performance and features, nothing really stands out as extraordinary except for the LED backlighting and buttonless trackpads, although those are not too new. i would like to see another usb port or two but what can ya do?
