Looking back at 2007, a lot of great products were reviewed. Here is my top 10 list of hardware and software items. Coming in at number one is the 24-inch iMac, which is, all factors (design, power, functionality, price, etc.) considered the best desktop Apple has ever made.

But here's a summary: "Regardless, the super-sized version of Apple’s iMac is the best overall desktop the company has ever made. It’s elegant, powerful, a joy to use." And here are the other top nine products, IMHO:
