This summer’s hot new buys

Apple iMac 24-inch update: Dh9,699 (pictured above, centre)

The legendary iMac line has gone for an update. Featuring faster processors and the most powerful graphics ever available in an iMac, the updated products also come with higher memory and completely reinvented applications that Mac users have come to love. See for yourself.

 

Sony Handycam HDR-TG1: Dh3,599 (above, left)

The guys from Sony say this is their smallest, slimmest and lightest camcorder yet, and we believe them. But we also like this one for its design and titanium-coated body, which will make sure it is safe while dune bashing or paragliding.

 

TAG Heuer Kimi Räikkönen edition: Dh6,480 (above, right)

This limited edition watch was created to celebrate Kimi Räikkönen’s career and his 2007 Fifa World Champion title with Scuderia Ferrari. With a black dial, TAG Heuer logo and Kimi Räikkönen inscription, the wrist bling is one for the collection.

 

LG Multi Blue Blu-ray Disc Rewriter: Dh1,835

This is one fast performer. At a 6x writing speed, it is ideal for home or office to back-up those large files, photos and, of course, the high-quality videos. It is perfect for laptop users as it can simply be plugged into the PC via a USB connection and is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD, DVD and CD formats, making it one universal unit to want.

 

LG Scarlet 32-inch TV: Dh3,299

LG unveiled its Scarlet TV at a glittering ceremony in Istanbul earlier this month. The manufacturers claim their new red-coloured back wonder will bring the television set to life. With speakers especially tuned by audio expert Mark Levinson, we say ‘Amen’ to that.

 

Samsung Series 6 HD LCD TV: Dh3,999

The Korean manufacturers unleashed a series of new high-definition television sets this week and this one from the Series Six is one of our favourites. Sleek, stylish and multimedia-ready, this one is top notch.

 

Vertu Constellation Monogram: Dh23,200

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, luxury phone manufacturer Vertu has introduced this blend of sapphire crystals with fine leather and ceramic and gold – the kind that Hollywood princesses and hip business magnates love.
