An improved MacBook -- Apple is adding features from its higher-end MacBook Pro line to its affordable (for Apple, anyway) $999 laptop. The MacBook now offers a display backlit by LED technology, a multi-touch trackpad (so you can use two fingers to navigate the screen), and a battery that can run seven hours before charging. It will also be lighter and more durable, the company says, thanks to new polycarbonate casing.

A new set of iMacs -- The desktop computers include 21.5- or 27-inch LED screens and Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Pricing starts at $1,199.
