The Microsoft “PC versus Mac” – Why Microsoft’s PC vs Mac Page Falls Apart
Aug 19th
I’m all for companies taking aim at others. In fact, I think it’s a smart move in many cases, since it gives firms the ability to highlight, on their own turf, exactly why they believe their products are better than any others. But Microsoft’s decision to build a “PC versus Mac” page on its Windows 7 site is a huge mistake, even if you’re a Windows supporter.

HP TouchSmart 300-1125 20-inch “All in One Desktop PC”
Jul 29th
HP’s TouchSmart 300-1125 is roughly similar in size and price to Apple’s popular 21-inch iMac all-in-one system but HP ups the performance and interface while costing $100 less. Performance is strong thanks to a quad core AMD desktop processor but it is the touchscreen interface and software that really make this PC. It does have some issues including the lack of an HDMI input for better external media support and integrated graphics but these may not be much of an issue for some.

Apple iMac summer 2010
Jul 29th
The good: Strong single-core and multitasking performance for its price; upgraded graphics chip handles most Mac games with ease; SDXC card slot supports higher-capacity cards than older iMacs; best-looking all-in-one on the market.
The bad: No HDMI input; no Blu-ray; native quad-core CPUs better at multithreaded applications; small screen size for its price; runs hot.
The bottom line: Apple has elected to keep its iMac firmly grounded as a productivity device. You’ll find few home entertainment conveniences in Apple’s new iMac, and you can find larger screens in other all-in-ones for less. Few will offer performance like this iMac, though, and none looks as pretty, which makes it easy to recommend for general-purpose computing and for the design conscious.
Review:
In time for the back-to-school buying season, Apple has updated its iMac desktop line with a broad assortment of under-the-hood features. This review will focus on the entry-level $1,199 model, but all four of Apple’s default iMac configurations received updates to their CPU, memory, and graphics chips. The highest-end 27-inch model also has a new option for solid-state hard drives. Apple left off a few hoped-for features from its new iMacs, including an HDMI input and Blu-ray drive support, although we’ve pretty much given up on Apple ever adding the latter.
