There's no word how long it'll last though.

Originally Posted November 18: As part of a sale on Logitech products this week, Dell.ca has the Logitech Alto Cordless Laptop Stand and Wireless Keyboard $39.99 with free shipping! At this price, it is cheaper than you will find at other retailers (check with PriceCanada.com). Don't forget to factor in the savings from free shipping, too.

The Alto stand props up your laptop for more comfortable viewing and of course, provides you with a full size keyboard for more convenient typing. It also has a USB hub built in. Conveniently, the Alto Stand and Keyboard folds up neatly (much like a laptop would) when you're done with it or need to take it with you. A hands-on review at tech.yahoo.com has this to say: "it's making a huge difference on my ergonomics when I use my laptop at my desk... It's quite surprising, and I will definitely be using the Alto on a daily basis."

At its usual price of $60-$100+, The Logitech Alto Cordless Stand and Wireless Keyboard might be a little too pricey for some, but at $39.99, it sounds like very reasonable way to boost comfort and productivity when using a laptop.

We'd say the biggest changes come to the iMacs, which now pack 16:9 widescreen LED-backlit IPS panels. In that department, we think the $1799 27" iMac with a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, 2560 x 1440 resolution, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, and Radeon 4670 is is actually a pretty appealing deal. An LED-backlight 27" IPS display with staggering resolution would surely cost a pretty penny, so we consider that a big part of the price tag. The actual computer hardware isn't too shabby either.

Elsewhere, the Mac mini has gotten some hardware upgrades (faster Core 2 Duo processor, more RAM, and bigger hard drives). Apple has also introduced a Mac mini server, which omits the optical drive and instead, allows for a second hard drive. The news on the MacBook front is less exciting -- it gains unibody construction but uses white plastic instead of aluminum like the more expensive MacBook Pros.
