Apple updated its iMac range with three new models. All three models have aluminium cases and feature Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, AirPort Extreme wireless 802.11n, slot-load disc drives, a built-in video camera and a much-anticipated new thinner Apple keyboard.
The 2.0GHz CPU model includes a 250GB hard drive, while the 2.4GHz 20in and 24in models carry 320GB capacity drives.
The three iMacs have widescreen TFT LCD displays, although the 24in model offers a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution and 178° horizontal or vertical viewing angle. Apple’s two 20in models have a 1680 x 1050 resolution and a 160° viewing angle.

IBM launched its first ThinkPad in July 1992, 15 years ago this month. The IBM ThinkPad 2521, know simply as “The ThinkPad”, was actually a tablet PC (no keyboard, instead you wrote directly onto the screen with a digital pen, like a Wacom Tablets).
In October 1992, IBM released some more ThinkPads (Series 700) and these would set the standard look (blank) and feel (solid) for the next 15 years. The IBM become the notebook of choice for businesses, with excellent support contracts (same day, onsite) and a well earned reputation for been the most reliable, hardworking notebooks available.

The Wacom Intuos3 combines digital pen, mouse and tablet to provide a complete user interface to your computer. The Intuos3 is currently a mid to high end model in the Wacom Tablet range.
Designed primarily for artists and graphics designers who need a greater degree of control than that provided by a normal mouse, the Intuos3 is also more ergonomically than a standard mouse, very important for people who suffer or could potentially suffer from Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
The Intuos3 connects to your Mac or PC via a USB cable (250 cm long). The digital pen and mouse in turn connect to the tablet via wireless (RF).

Carrying on from my my previous article about PC or Mac, I have decided to compare the MacBook versus a PC laptop. For this comparison I decided to choose another iconic design company, Sony. Like Apple, Sony are repeatedly chosen as one of top 3 most reliable laptops and again like Apple tend to innovate.

The closest Sony Laptop to the MacBook is the Sony C Series, which is supplied in a range of colours, as follows:
Green (VGN-C2S/G)
Grey (VGN-C2S/H)
Blue (VGN-C2S/L)
Pink (VGN-C2S/P)
Silver (VGN-C2S/W)
Black (VGN-C2Z/B) (NVIDIA® GeForce® rather than Intel® 950)
This is a preview of
PC or Mac? MacBook vs Sony C Series (VGN-C2S) Part 2

Here are some applications for the Mac that I generally recommend to friends.
Disclaimer: Some of these applications can potentially be used to copy copy-written material. DigitalBuzz does NOT condone there use in this manner.
1. VLC
Simple the best avi / video player available. A must have and its free!
2. DJAY
Very cool little MP3 player that lets you DJ two different MP3 audio tracks on a virtual decks.
3
The alternative web browser to Safari. Very useful if Safari does not work for a specific site - maybe Firefox will.

After talking forever to a friend the other week about what laptop to buy and recommending a MacBook, I am going to save myself some time and write a quick review of one (my mates MacBook in fact, which I am currently setting up for him!) and will in the future only need to email a link to this article!

This article is a mixture of a long term usage review of the older Macbook Pro updated to incorporate the newer models (my sister just bought one which I helped her setup).
I bought my first Intel based Mac back in March 2006, and apart from some initial problems with the hardware running a bit hot and noisy (its true what they say about never buying the first revision!) which Apple dealt with well albeit a bit slowly.
