For one, âMac hardware is beautifully designed,â explains Ed Baig (USA Today). And âthe underlying software is polished, robust and secure.â For example, new Macs âcome with iLife â08, a slick multimedia software suite for handling pictures (iPhoto), video editing (iMovie), making music (GarageBand) and websites (iWeb).â And Mac OS X Leopard  âhas standout features of its own, including Time Machine (dirt-simple backup) and iChat (way cool video chat).â Whatâs more, Macs âhave been immune from the scourge of viruses and malware that have long plagued Windows.â  Mac customers âheap lavish praise on Macs for good reason,â Baig concludes.

Reviewing MacBook Air for the Daily Telegraph,  Claudine Beaumont notes that most of the staff there âhave found this lightweight laptop very impressive.â MacBook Air, she indicates âis a delightfully designed gadget, hewn from aluminum and glass, and draws amazed gasps from almost all who see it.

Calling Leopard the âapple of my eye,â Dwight Sliverman (Houston Chronicle) tells us that as heâs played with the newest version of Mac OS X, âIâm constantly being surprised by smart, useful and convenient touches.

Robert Weston reports for AP, &#147;The recently released Mac Pro maintains the Apple shine in design, usability and software but also does something unexpected: It turns the old Mac versus Windows PC price equation on its head.&#148;

There&#39;s no doubt that Apple&#39;s latest notebook computer is a joy to look at. The enormous 17in widescreen means you can watch films on it at a size approaching that of a television, and the brushed aluminium finish is undeniably stylish.

&#147;If a new desktop computer is the object of your holiday hopes this season, look no further than the new G5 iMac from Apple,&#148; writes Mike Wendland for Billings Gazette. &#147;I said it when I first tested it and I&#146;ll say it again after two months of use: This is the finest personal computer I&#146;ve ever used, hands down. Nothing comes close. If you have ever thought of switching from a Windows-based PC to a Mac, this is the deal-clincher. It is a stunning machine to look at and to use.&#148; [Dec 21]

Apple is now in the position where it cannot hold a proper Macworld without unveiling "One More Thing." But with the iPhone being a hard act to follow, was the MacBook Air enough to keep the world's gadget haven at the top of its game?

&#147;It has been a good year for Apple,&#148; writes Wilson Rothman in naming the iMac G5 TIME Gadget of the Week. &#147;Since the beginning of 2004, I&#146;ve discussed GarageBand, AirPort Express and the latest iPod. If you go back 12 months, you can probably even throw in iTunes Music Store, the original G5 and the official release of iChat AV. This isn&#146;t favoritism, I&#146;m just impressed. Rather than spend money on its silly &#145;Switch&#146; ad campaign, the company has spent it inventing actual reasons for people to switch from Windows to Mac, not least of all personal style. The iMac G5 is super suave, but it&#146;s also a pretty good deal.&#148; [Sep 22]
