While it's a little hard to tell from the front, the new Apple iMac ($1,200 - $2,000) has changed a lot from its predecessor. Available with either a 21.5- or 27-inch 16:9, glass-covered LED backlit display, a fully aluminum back panel, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors standard with quad-core 2.66GHz Core i5 or 2.8GHz Core i7 processors as options, a built-in SD card slot, up to 16GB of RAM, an included Apple Wireless Keyboard and new multi-touch Magic Mouse, and more. The only bummer? You'll be waiting (with us) until November if you want a Core i5 or i7 model.

Intel's next-generation architecture comes to the Mac in the new Mac Pro ($2,500 and up). Featuring a single-die, 64-bit architecture, the Nehalem Xeons in the Mac Pro offer a performance boost of close to 2x the previous generation, and offer other speed advantages like integrated memory controllers, 1066MHz DDR3 RAM, and Turbo Boost, which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload.
