...when my test computer arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that the blinking ads that filled the bottom and right side of my screen hardly bothered me. Sure, they reduced the usable area of the screen to the size of a large laptop's, but I barely noticed them. There was still plenty of room left to browse websites and use the included word-processing software. What's more, when I had trouble getting online, I got through to tech support in just 3 min. And since I'm not a gamer, I wasn't worried that my new PC lacked...

...their best (which, until the iMac, hasn't been all that often), Apple products dazzle by giving us what we didn't know we wanted but suddenly can't live without. This fall we'll learn whether America's been yearning for a blueberry laptop built of bulletproof polycarbonate plastic (to make it, Ive explains, "rugged, robust, structural") and co-molded rubber (to make it "compliant, yielding, human"). And a little foldout handle. And a sleep light that throbs like a heartbeat. And a sleek, round charger whose cord rolls up like...
