Nikon D60 Review   4

Gavin Stoker

Nikon’s entry-level D40x has been reborn as the D60, which boasts a 10-megapixel maximum resolution and a dust-prevention system. This feature was sorely missing on the otherwise excellent D40x and now brings Nikon into line with competitors.

AirPort Express Base Station Review   4

Dan Frakes

The AirPort Express is a WiFi access point compact enough (3.6 x 2.9 x 1.1in and 6.7 ounces) to fit in a laptop bag and designed to plug directly into an electrical outlet. It can be used to create a wireless network of its own or to extend the range of a network provided by another Express or by an AirPort Extreme Base Station.

Klipsch Image Review   3

Mark Hattersley

Klipsch has a long and distinguished history in the world of audio, but is a relatively new name in the world of iPod earphones. The Klipsch Image earphones are the first set we've reviewed from the company, and it's clear that Klipsch has dived right in at the deep end.

iMac 24-inch 3.06GHz Review   5 Editors Choice

Roman Loyola and Mark Hattersley

Under the hood, the new iMacs differ significantly from the original aluminium models – mainly in that they are much faster. The top-of-the-range iMac breaks the 3GHz barrier and includes a much faster graphics card. We take a closer look at what Apple's 3.06GHz iMac has to offer.

ConceptDraw Pro 7 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

ConceptDraw is a tricky pitch to newcomers. We’re used to a paradigm of design tools that neatly divides them into vector packages, bitmap editors, CAD and 3D modellers. ConceptDraw is probably best described as a plan-creation package – a tool for creating charts and diagrams.

First Look: Psytar Open Computer   0

James Galbraith

Because we think it’s informative to see how OS X performs on a computer that isn’t a Mac, Macworld ordered a Psystar Open Computer about a week or so ago. The machine, which Psystar touts as a low-cost alternative to Apple’s hardware, has arrived in our lab, where we plan to put it to the test.

zCover TypeOn Keyboard Protector Review   4

Macworld team

zCover is perhaps best known for making a living out of silicon-based skins for various products (iPhones, iPods, and other gadgetry). However, the company also does an interesting sideline in protective keyboard covers.

World Clock Deluxe 4.5 Review   4

Macworld team

We know what a hassle it is having to wear half a dozen watches so that you can instantly find out the time in Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, Sydney and Grimsby. The folks at Mabasoft have come up with a solution; World Clock Deluxe – a tool that displays multiple clocks in multiple time zones on your desktop.

Fracture Review   4

Macworld team

Generate fractal patterns on your Mac - and use them as a screensaver. Fracture brings fractals back to OS X and, suddenly, it’s like the 90s never happened. Fracture runs as a screensaver, displaying a sequence of freshly generated, primary coloured fractal images based on random parameters.

UPEK Eikon Digital Privacy Manager Review   3

Mark Hattersley

The Eikon is essentially a USB fingerprint scanner designed to sit on your desktop. Once installed you can swipe a finger over the scanner to access your computer. But is finger scanning better than password protection? We get our fingers all over the Eikon in our in-depth review.

Freeway 5 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

The first version of Freeway, back in 1997, entered a drag-and-drop web authoring market with few real competitors. Adobe had PageMill, Macromedia had yet to launch Dreamweaver and Microsoft’s web strategy was still in flux. Back then, we lauded Freeway for its design-centred approach to page building, offering a DTP style workflow aimed squarely at non-coders.

Power Manager 3 Review   4

Macworld team

It’s more important than ever to conserve energy. The common-sense solution would be to simply turn off your machine when it’s not in use. UK company DssW has had an even better idea – its Power Manager 3 software switches your Mac on and off for you.

Propellerheads Reason 4 Review   4

Richard Leon

Reason’s virtual rack format was a big hit when it appeared in 2000. The idea of emulating a customisable rack full of synthesizers, drum machines and audio effects had instant appeal, because it was so easy to understand. Since then, Reason has kept the core model and added new featu
