Perhaps not in the same area, but I would nominate Anand Shimpi from anandtech.com. He writes in depth review of Apple hardware (currently writing a Mac Pro review), and offers fairly deep insight into both the hardware and what the product offers as a whole.
Gruber might do it better; I admit that I don't read any of his posts, not being much of an Apple watcher. I have a slightly negative opinion of him based solely on comments, on HN and elsewhere, that appear on submissions of his articles. They seem to indicate that he has a pair of horse blinders on when it comes to Apple. For people who don't already think what they offer is the best, I can see why it is grating. I would have to read his articles for some time to form an actual opinion, but as it stands I'll stick with Anand, as he covers, in depth, other entrants as well as Apple.

Anand is excellent, but he looks at things and writes from a completely different perspective. They are not comparable in my opinion.
