podcast@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:00:00 PDT

Microsoft's new Arc Touch Mouse features a travel-friendly design and some clever technical touches to its touch-sensitive scroll tab.

Apple's highest-end 27-inch iMac gets a welcome CPU and graphics card update that, along with its giant display, makes it even more competitive than its best-in-class model was previously. Its high overall appeal makes the absence of an HDMI input particularly glaring, but on balance we can recommend the 27-inch iMac to anyone looking for a large screen, high-end all-in-one.

podcast@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:00:00 PDT
