The big and beautiful 30- inch Apple display is stylish, bright, and, most importantly, enormous. Though it dazzles passerby, our experts inside the labs say it might not fulfill its stated purpose. Read our online review to find out what they had to say. (3 stars) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1358-4-54-252229-134015-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Feelin' GrooveLab Feel the beat with M-Audio's GrooveLab, which lets bedroom DJs craft their own tunes from a library of loops and samples, using powerful software and capable hardware. The Abelton Live Delta software is great for learning your way around loop-based music, and the external USB sound card is perfect for laptop duty. Check it out in our online review.

But the R100 doesn't scrimp on features either, like Intel Centrino 802.11b/g wireless and a 40GB hard drive.
