On the heels of Black Friday, Apple unveils a list of new products, including a pair of iMacs with razor-sharp, 16:9 displays, a redesigned plastic MacBook, and, courtesy of the iPhone, a new mouse that you can swipe with your fingertips.

The new iMacs include a 27-inch and a 21.5-inch screen model. Both retain the basic, all-in-one iMac design, but the upgraded models arrive with gorgeous new LED-backlit displays, complete with 16:9 aspect ratios- ideal for movie fanatics. The new 21.5-inch iMac boasts a 1920 by 1080-pixel display, while the 27-inch model comes with a whopping 2560 by 1440 pixels. Both these dreams come with a wireless keyboard and the much anticipated Magic Mouse.

The Magic Mouse, a touch-enabled successor to the trackball-toting Mighty Mouse, is a sleek, smooth sliver of plastic. The wireless Magic Mouse comes without dedicated buttons or wheels; instead, you perform simple multi-touch gestures like tapping, swiping, and “zooming” on the mouse’s curved surface to select, rotate, or otherwise manipulate items on the screen. Left and right-handed people can configure the Magic Mouse as they see fit.

Next in their line up is a redesigned white, plastic MacBook, which now takes on the “uni-body” design of its bigger MacBook Pro brothers. The MacBook’s new polycarbonate shell weighs in at about 4.7 ounces, and measures 1.8 inches thick. And like the rest of the updated MacBook Pro line, it also comes with a non-replaceable seven-hour battery. Other improvements include an LED-backlit display and a bigger multi-touch glass track-pad.

Last but not least is an upgraded Mac Mini, which now comes with a faster processor (up to 2.66GHz) and more memory (up to 4GB). Power users can also snatch up a 2.53GHz Mini with dual 500GB hard drives and Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard pre-installed.
