Depends on what you mean with "most compelling":
MS-DOS is more stable than Snow Leopard, and a lot more bloat-free too.
The Mac Mini is the most expensive computer of its size I've ever seen, and compared to what you can do with a Via Artigo, much less powerful.
MacBook Air? Very pretty and thin, but kind of awkward when it becomes obsolete in less than two years (and the battery goes bad even before that!). Reputedly there's a Dell laptop that's thinner than the Air.
Time Capsule... that's OK, but expensive.
iPhone? Well, I guess if they want to call it a phone, they should just make a phone (as in "Ericsson GA628" - I consider it a very good phone). Otherwise it's OK.

And for the sake of convenience, please stop making "Apple tablet coming soon" threads every two months.
Thank you.
