Bombproof gadgets: Our most trusty technology

Apple iMac
Look at it. Just look at it. You can keep your Click Wheel iPods and your gesture-based iPhones. Apple's greatest styling moment came in 2002 with the launch of the G4 iMac. The 15-inch LCD screen is attached to the domed white base by a graceful, flexible neck that still holds its head up high with justified pride.

Mine's still going strong five years later, having survived three moves, one accidental wiping of the hard drive, some ill-advised internal tinkering and at least one grip malfunction -- that is, I dropped it. By contrast, my HP PC at work struggles to survive past lunchtime. And my Dad's PC, of comparable age, doesn't even work as a doorstop. If I'm an Apple fanboy, this baby is why. -Rich Trenholm
