The $69 Magic Trackpad is designed to work with your Mac desktop computer and uses the same multi-touch technology as the MacBook Pro. "[It] supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen," Apple describes on its product page. It is intended to be used either in place of a mouse or together with one via Bluetooth.

The iMac line has been thoroughly updated with Intel's Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors and new graphics, and starts at $1,199. The base processor configuration for the 27" model go all the way to $2199, and while that's on the expensive side, it also includes an i7 2.93 GHz quad-core CPU, and ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics with 1GB of dedicated memory.

Video pros will probably be excited to see the new Mac Pros, the strongest of which now sports a drool-inducing 12 cores (that's 24 virtual cores if you count Intel's hyper-threading technology). If you're so inclined, you can bump up your Mac Pro with a 512 GB SSD, as well as ATI Radeon HD 5870 with 1GB of memory. If you have to ask, the price starts at $4,999.
