Best Inventions of 2008
From a genetic testing service to an invisibility cloak to an ingenious public bike system to the world's first moving skyscraper — here are TIME's picks for the top innovations of 2008
MacBook
The new MacBook is the most powerful, user-friendly and portable computer in its price range hands-down. It's faster than previous MacBooks, has sharper graphics, rarely crashes and has a sturdier aluminum shell. Apple has also made this improved laptop environmentally friendlier than any previous Mac offering by eliminating toxins from its construction materials. Best of all, the new MacBook is simple to figure out, right out of the box, and it's easier to connect to an external monitor. But if you still can't do without your PC-based programs, you can always run Mac's Boot Camp program, which allows you to toggle into Windows mode.
Price: from $1,299
