[smg id=26]Wow, is this one of the bigger updates without an Apple event?

They've finally released a new mouse: the Magic Mouse. What's magical is that the surface supports multi-touch gestures that let you scroll through web pages or navigation. Bluetooth-enabled, with laser tracking. HK$518. (Already put in my order - delivers early November)

There's the new white MacBook, with a more curvaceous design in a Polycarbonate unibody enclosure, 7-hour battery, glass trackpad and LED backlit screen. For HK$7,788, it's fantastic value! (Can't wait to see what Apple does next to their MacBook Pros)

The iMacs also received significant boosts in their speed - the base model now costs HK$9,388 and comes packed with features inside a 1920 x 1080, 21.5-inch LCD monitor housing: 3.06GHz CPU, 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. The high-end 27" model has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 (quad core processor) and supports 2560 x 1440 resolution!

Last but not least, there were some small speed bumps to the Mac mini family: base model of HK$4,788 gets you 2.26GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive with NVIDIA 9400M. There is also a Mac mini server with dual 500gb HDDs and no optical drive.

Lost perhaps amongst all the other bigger stuff is a new Apple Remote for $148:
Control your Mac, iPod, or iPhone from afar with the sleek aluminum Apple Remote. Play, pause, adjust volume, move forward and back, and access menus while playing music and video.
