Apple Mac OS X review

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars	Mac OS X 10.8: Mountain Lion The bottom line: Though it's not a complete system or interface overhaul, Mountain Lion's improved core apps and new features make it well worth the $19.99 price. Read Review

Apple laptop reviews

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars	Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display (13.3-inch) The bottom line: While the Retina MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air. Read Review	$1,449.00 to $1,499.00

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars	Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display The bottom line: The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed. Read Review	$2,029.00 to $2,199.00

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars	Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, Summer 2012) The bottom line: This year's MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be. Read Review	$1,129.98 to $1,199.00

Apple desktop reviews

Editor's rating: 3.5 stars	Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 2.7GHz, fall 2012) The bottom line: The 21.5-inch iMac will be a compelling lower-cost all-in-one for Mac loyalists, but you can get more capabilities from similarly priced Windows all-in-ones. Read Review	$1,259.94 to $1,299.00

Editor's rating: 3.5 stars	Apple Mac Mini with Fusion Drive (fall 2012) The bottom line: With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range. Read Review

Editor's rating: 3.5 stars	Apple iMac The bottom line: Apple sticks to the fundamentals with the new iMac, relying on design, strong features, and overall polish to maintain its leadership among high-end all-in-ones. Read Review	$1,899.98 to $2,024.00
